Summary: | This report presents a framework -
Skills Toward Employment and Productivity (STEP), that
provides a simple yet comprehensive way to look at skills
development. It brings together research evidence and
practical experience from a range of areas-from research on
the determinants of early childhood development and learning
outcomes, to policy experience with the reform of vocational
and technical education systems and labor markets-and
provides a set of powerful messages to policymakers,
researchers, and practitioners. The report's emphasis
on performance measurement and benchmarking, policy and
program evaluation, and cross-sectoral approaches focusing
on individuals throughout their lifecycle provides a solid
platform for developing countries to start exploring reforms. |
