SABER Workforce Development Armenia Country Report 2014
This report presents a comprehensive diagnostic of the country’s WfD policies and institutions to inform policy dialogue on this important issue. The results are based on a new World Bank tool designed for this purpose. Known as SABER‐WfD, the tool is part of the World Bank’s initiative on Systems Approach for Better Education Results (SABER),2 the aim of which is to provide systematic documentation and assessment of the policy and institutional factors that influence the performance of education and training systems. It examines three crucial dimensions of the WfD system: strategic framework, system oversight, and service delivery. The SABER‐WfD tool encompasses initial, continuing, and targeted vocational education and training that are offered through multiple channels and focuses largely on programs at the secondary and post‐secondary levels. This report documents the results of the use of the SABER‐WfD tool in Armenia for the first time.
