Constructing Knowledge Societies: New Challenges for Tertiary Education

Knowledge, Education

Tertiary education is a critical pillar for human development worldwide. It is more than the capstone of the traditional education pyramid. In today's lifelong learning framework, tertiary education provides not only the high- level skills necessary for every labor market, but also supplies the training essential for teachers, doctors, nurses, civil servants, engineers, humanists entrepreneurs, scientists, social scientists, and myriad personnel. It is these trained individuals who develop the capacity and analytical skill that drive local economies, support civil society, teach children, lead effective governments and make important decisions affecting entire societies. Universities are clearly a key part of all tertiary systems, but the diverse and growing set of public and private tertiary institutions in every country - colleges, technical training institutes, community colleges, nursing schools, research laboratories, centers of excellence, distance learning centers, etc. - form a network of institutions that support the production of higher-order capacity necessary for development.

Agriculture for Development

Agriculture

Agriculture is a vital development tool for achieving the Millennium Development Goal that calls for halving by 2015 the share of people suffering from extreme poverty and hunger. That is the overall message of this year’s World Development Report (WDR), the 30th in the series. Three out of every four poor people in developing countries live in rural areas, and most of them depend directly or indirectly on agriculture for their livelihoods. This Report provides guidance to governments and the international community on designing and implementing agriculture-for-development agendas that can make a difference in the lives of hundreds of millions of rural poor. The Report highlights two major regional challenges. In much of Sub-Saharan Africa, agriculture is a strong option for spurring growth, overcoming poverty, and enhancing food security. Agricultural productivity growth is vital for stimulating growth in other parts of the economy. But accelerated growth requires a sharp productivity increase in smallholder farming combined with more effective support to the millions coping as subsistence farmers, many of them in remote areas. Recent improved performance holds promise, and this Report identifi es many emerging successes that can be scaled up.

Accelerating Catch-up Tertiary Education for Growth in Sub-Saharan Africa

Africa, Education

Growth in gross domestic product (GDP) in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has accelerated from an  average annual rate of 2.0 percent during the 1990s to over 6.0 percent during 2002-07. This remarkable economic turnaround is the result of increasing macroeconomic stability, of reforms that have whittled away market imperfections and reduced trade barriers, and most consequentially, of rapidly increasing global demand for the natural resource-based commodities exported by Sub-Saharan countries. This swelling demand, fueled by the expansion of the leading Asian  economies, has improved the terms of trade for some countries in SSA, and substantially increased the transfer of resources from abroad, while stimulating investment in the primary sector, infrastructure, and urban housing and services. Coming after more than two decades of stagnation, the recent growth spurt in economic performance is a welcome development.
