Education and the World Bank


Education is central to development. It empowers people, strengthens nations, and is key to the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals.   Already the world's largest external financier of education, the World Bank is today more committed than ever to helping countries develop holistic education systems aimed both at achieving Education For All (EFA) and building dynamic knowledge societies that are key to competing in global markets through Education for the Knowledge Economy (EKE).
