This report presents an analysis of how
effectively current policies in Malawi engage the private
sector in primary and secondary education. The analysis
draws on the engaging the private sector (EPS) framework, a
product of the World Bank’s systems approach for better
education results (SABER). SABER-EPS research in Malawi
found that the net enrollment rate for primary education has
increased significantly, to 89 percent, while secondary net
enrollment rate remains low, at only 11 percent as of 2013
(the latest available data). At both the primary and
secondary levels, quality, and equity are challenges. The
private sector plays an increasingly significant role in
education at both levels. Based on a review of existing
policies, SABER-EPS offers the following recommendations for
enhancing private sector engagement in the education sector
in the country in order to meet the challenges of access,
quality, and equity: (1) concentrate on improving the
quality of learning outcomes by encouraging continuous
improvement at the school level by means of school
improvement planning and incentives; (2) empower parents by
ensuring that they are given information on school quality
that enables them to make informed choices and are not
hindered by restrictive school selection criteria; and (3)
create a regulatory environment that encourages greater
supply of school places to help overcome constraints,
particularly at the secondary level. The report provides an
overview of SABER-EPS, followed by a description of the
primary and secondary education system in Malawi with a
focus on the private sector and government policies related
to the private provision of education. The report then
benchmarks Malawi’s policy environment utilizing the
SABER-EPS Framework and offers policy options to enhance
access and learning for all children in primary and
secondary school. |
