Core employability skills build upon and strengthen the skills developed through basic education; the technical skills needed for specific occupations or to perform specific tasks or duties (such as nursing, accounting, using technology or driving a forklift); and professional/personal attributes such as honesty, reliability, punctuality and loyalty.
Core work skills enable individuals to constantly acquire and apply new knowledge and skills; they are also critical to lifelong learning. Various agencies and organizations have given different labels to these skills, ranging from “key competencies” to “soft skills”, “transferable skills” or “essential skills”.

It has been nearly seven years since the inception of the World Bank\'s Systems Approach for Better Education Results, better known as SABER. What began as a set of tools for policy analysis has grown to encompass a comprehensive toolbox of rubrics and questionnaires, country reports, rich data, regional analyses, case studies, briefs, and more. SABER plays an important role in the World Bank\'s operational work with country clients, providing a framework for identifying, analyzing, and strengthening education systems. These World Bank-developed tools also are used by development organizations, governments, and education experts across the world to help identify critical education policy gaps and to inform changes that are improving learning for all. The SABER program continues to serve client needs through the development of new tools and support systems aimed to promote informed and forward-looking policy dialogue in education at the country level. This annual report examines the progress made by the Systems Approach for Better Education Results (SABER) trust funded program since its inception but focus primarily during the 2017 fiscal year (FY17), which began on July 1, 2016 and ended on June 30, 2017. The report focuses on the overall achievements of the SABER program towards assisting countries in achieving Learning for All so that investments in education can indeed strengthen countries\' capacity to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity. The goal is for SABER to provide an exhaustive set of tools that deliver a more comprehensive assessment of education systems from the level of policies to the levels of service delivery and impact.
