South Asia’s contributions to the Asian economy and the global labor force are substantial and will continue to grow. The Asian Development Bank’s priority in the region is to complement infrastructure investments with strategic support to human resource development to help people move up the value chain. The objective of the Innovative Strategies for Accelerated Human Resource Development in South Asia (Subproject 11) under the Development Partnership Program for South Asia (RETA 6337) is to support emerging opportunities in priority human resource development through targeted policy dialogue grounded on relevant analytical work on technical and vocational education and training (TVET) and higher education. With that background, this report provides in-depth analyses of the state of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) and higher education in Sri Lanka.
