Summary: | Systems Assessment for Better Education
Results (SABER) is designed to assess existing education
policies of participating countries in order to enable
comparisons between them and learning of best practices. The
purpose of this background paper is to present
SABER-Tertiary Education Governance, a tool for facilitating
comparisons of both system-wide policies and practical
implementation of these policies at the institution-level
across and within countries in the tertiary education
sector. This paper was prepared as a background papers for
SABER Tertiary Education, one of the domains in the SABER
initiative at the World Bank, itself launched within the
context of the Bank s new education strategy 2020 which sets
the goal of Learning for All. Among the factors influencing
tertiary education performance, recent research has
identified governance as a key determinant. A good
governance structure and favorable regulatory conditions can
promote innovative behavior among tertiary education
institutions, enable the development of strong quality
assurance systems, and facilitate the design of effective
financing mechanisms. This tool aims to assess tertiary
education policy according to eight policy goals. |
