Reform of education, training and human resource development is an integral part of the transition to a democratic society and a market economy.

It presents an analysis of the education system, identifying key directions for the reinforcement of the reforms in light of the challenges encountered by officials, communities, enterprises, educators, parents and students under very dynamic conditions. It concludes with a set of key recommendations concerning the structure of the system and its labor market relevance; access and equity; financing; governance and management; internationalization; and research, development and innovation.--Publisher's description.
