School Sector Program

Limiting the number of policy actions and reform areas could help to tighten future policy-based loans and adopt deeper policy actions. It would also allow sufficient time to implement the attached TA effectively, further strengthening potential impact. The program included a large number of policy actions, spread over five different reform areas, and some of its policy actions lacked the depth required to bring about structural change. TA was attached to the program to support the implementation of the policy actions, but government counterparts were strained by the capacity constraints at the Ministry of Education and Department of Education.
