The country is emerging from a prolonged economic and political crisis which has had serious negative impacts on the education system.

This is necessary for preparing the government's Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper and a program of assistance for the education sector by external donors. This Country Status Report is structured in six chapters covering the recent trends and current status of educational coverage, expenditures and financing at all levels of instruction in DRC, issues relating to quality in primary and secondary education, and specific issues relating to higher education. It also presents the expenditure requirements under various policy options which can be used to begin a more detailed planning for the sector. Financial simulations were undertaken for four scenarios of educational expansion in order to determine total expenditure requirements, the composition of expenditure, and the shares of different financing sources. These simulations also suggest some key policy choices which could contribute to further containing costs. The foregoing analysis suggests critical policy questions, i.e. setting goals for quantitative coverage; determining strategies for achieving the goals within each sub-sector; determining the costs of implementing the strategies; and, identifying key reforms in governance and education administration. In developing educational policy and strategy, an iterative approach will need to be adopted in order to gauge the feasibility of different options. 2013-07-23T16:47:30Z 2013-07-23T16:47:30Z 2004-11-15 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2004/11/5521759/congo-democratic-republic-country-status-report-education-priorities-options-regenerating-education-sector http://hdl.handle.net/10986/14486 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Education Sector Review Economic & Sector Work Africa Congo, Democratic Republic of
