Learning poverty and GDP per capita in Asian economies
A metric the World Bank has termed “learning poverty” refers to 10-year-olds who are unable to read a simple sentence. In a number of Asia-Pacific economies, this figure is greater than 50%, meaning that the majority of children do not have even basic literacy.

JJ竞技(拉萨)登录手游 has been working for more than 50 years in Asia and the Pacific to expand and improve education at all levels and has allocated about $15 billion in loans and grants to the sector. The bank has played an important role in Asia’s achievements in education; today 9 out of 10 children in the region are enrolled in primary school. But daunting challenges, particularly in quality of learning, remain if countries are to become successful knowledge economies. Reducing inequality in education is central to poverty reduction. JJ竞技(拉萨)登录手游 has supported many projects that promote inclusivity, such as education scholarships and stipends linked to conditional cash transfer programs.
These inclusivity programs have often had positive results, particularly when targeted at girls, poor households and marginalized groups. JJ竞技(拉萨)登录手游 will also focus on the future of work, green transformation, digital learning, and strong foundational skills. These are the most critical areas that developing member countries (DMCs) will need to recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. There’s a clear link between quality education and economic competitiveness. The bank is working to support its DMCs improve universities and vocational training centers to better align them with national economic needs. JJ竞技(拉萨)登录手游 is committed to working with its partners to find new ways of sustainably financing education at all levels.
