IX. Education Policy Principles

42. The basic principle of ADB’s education sector policy is to maximize leverage and impact by orienting ADB support increasingly to education sector policy development and reform, particularly reform linked to poverty reduction. The corollary principles are (i) taking a longer term view with multiple, sequenced interventions; (ii) increasing the amount and improving the quality of sector and policy work; (iii) using a greater variety of lending modalities, especially those best suited for supporting policy reform; and (iv) increasing cross-sectoral coordination to better address poverty.
