The World Bank global education strategy focuses on ensuring that all children can learn. Our goal is to enable all people to develop their full potential through access to quality education and lifelong learning.
The World Bank supports countries in developing foundational skills such as literacy, basic numeracy, and socio-emotional capabilities, which are the building blocks for all further learning. At all levels of education, children and young people receive support to acquire the skills needed to advance in school and enter the labor market.
The institution provides governments with technical assistance, loans, and grants, and support countries to disseminate and apply innovative solutions in the field of education. The World Bank support to countries spans the entire learning cycle with the aim of supporting resilient, equitable, and inclusive education systems that ensure everyone learns.
