What we think is required is:

  • Good quality basic education (primary plus lower secondary), especially for girls
  • Whole sector investments informed by country specific diagnostics on school to work transition and improving value for money across the sector
  • Relevant school curricula, better teaching, appropriate skills development
  • An environment that supports partnerships with the private sector and civil society

However, there are still further questions to answer. Please read and respond to these in the following sections.
