Abstract

This research project explored the ways in which both the achievement and the developmental impact of the goal of Universal Primary Education (UPE) rely on strengthening of systems for post-basic education and training (PBET). In reviewing the policies, institutions, and experience in six countries (India, Ghana, Rwanda, Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania), the researchers sought policy-relevant lessons concerning the ways in which the poverty reducing benefits of basic education depend on PBET's contributions to an enabling environment.
