Program Overview
The final grade attainment rate in primary education varies by region and income, there are gender disparities in educational outcomes, and there is still room for improvement in the quality and quantity of teachers. Education tailored to industry needs such as vocational training is also required.
The net enrolment ratio (NER) for preschool education is low, at about 34% (2021), and there are significant regional differences. The final grade attainment rate in primary education is still unsatisfactory, at about 86% (2023), but it is even lower in rural areas and among the poor and children with disabilities, at about 60%. In addition, although there is no difference in the school attendance rate in primary education between boys and girls, there are some gender-related issues, including lower educational outcomes for girls than for boys such as basic achievement in mathematics and primary education completion tests as well as the occurrence of sexual gender-based violence (SGBV) in schools. In addition, the shortage of teachers and the lack of progress in improving their abilities have made the low quality of education a serious problem.
There are still differences in the quality of education among vocational schools, and a mismatch between the human resource needs of industry and the abilities and skills of students has been raised as an issue to be addressed. Despite graduation, the low technical level of industrial human resources and the shortage of soft skills have also become problems.
TDV2050 targets access to high-quality education at all levels of education, and in particular, the important development issues are to strengthen STEM and ICT education, develop human resources that meet industry needs, and reduce gender and regional disparities in educational opportunities.
