World Bank work in Tertiary Education Overview

Since 1963, the World Bank has supported the growth and diversification of tertiary education systems in developing and transition countries and promoted essential policy reforms to make the sector more efficient, relevant, equitable, transparent, and responsive.  Assistance has focused essentially on systemwide issues and reforms and combined policy advice, analytical work, capacity-building activities, and financial support through loans and credits to facilitate and accompany the design and implementation of major tertiary education reform.  For additional information on the work of the World Bank in the sector please access our website at www.worldbank.org/education/tertiary
