South Asia Project Brief: Sri Lanka Education Sector Development Program
Asian Development Bank | May 2015
Abstract
To address these challenges, the Asian
Development Bank (ADB) approved the
Education Sector Development Program on
27 June 2013. The program will support the
government’s Education Sector Development Framework and Program (ESDFP), which
seeks to transform the school education
system to create a human capital foundation
for a knowledge economy, contributing to the
objectives of the human capital development
goals of the country. The program builds on
the extensive experience of ADB in Sri Lanka’s
education sector. Building on the progress
made in basic education, Sri Lanka aims to
transform secondary education by shifting
to higher cognitive skill and job-relevant
competencies.
The program is in line with the strategic
directions of ADB’s South Asia Department.
The strategy focuses on sustainable
infrastructure, climate change mitigation and
adaptation, human development, regional
cooperation and integration, public–private
partnership, and good governance.
