Improving Transitions From School to University to Workplace
Asian Development Bank | June 2012
Abstract
The increasing number of higher education institutions (HEIs) in developing Asia can lead to
improved prospects for development. However, the rapid expansion can undermine external
efficiency—the alignment of higher education with the external environment. This publication
focuses on tackling three key challenges in strengthening external efficiency: (i) improving
students’ readiness for higher learning; (ii) fostering in graduates knowledge and skills that
meet the needs of labor markets; and (iii) pursuing fresh strategies for productive partnerships
not only for top-tier HEIs but also for 2nd and 3rd tier HIEs, to bring the necessary diversity in
the higher education scene and benefit local communities.
