Education

Education Tools

Education and Project Specialists, researchers, and policy makers require paradigms, programs, and tool kits to establish the rationale, objectives, design components, implementation arrangements, costs and financing, and policy conditions of projects, programs, and various other hybrid lending modalities.

Major dimensions include: economic and financial analysis of education systems and projects, project costings, and policy analysis.

Some resources for these areas can be found in various ADB documents:
