#DYK? Tertiary #education provides advanced skills everywhere, it produces geographic spillover effects & dev. countries are on the rise in R&D as stressed by Luis Benveniste at “The Role of Universities in Boosting the Economy” event w/@gergis @AnjaliSastry @AJack & key experts.

Expanding education during population growth can seem like running to stay in the same place. But every child we bring into school is an achievement. We estimate that Punjab, Pakistan had 13 million such achievements over 2 decades. Joint w @Ayesha_T24 https://t.co/KrTl4f3sUa

Everyone knows Pakistan has a human capital crisis. Not many see Pakistan's human capital opportunity. That should change. See our new Human Capital Report for Pakistan with @lireersado @ahasanwb @jdbaron https://t.co/hHJvSzmF2J

@TristanReed_ Talk to most donors and they'll tell you they don't like to give the World Bank $$$ because the Bank just follows its own priorities and doesn't listen to donor demands.

[ASER Pakistan @ASERPAKISTAN]

Happy to receive such appreciation from our donors.
Koen Geven - Economist, World Bank greatly acknowledged the work of ASER as a global public good.

@AmelieAGagnon Tempting to have that take-away. Unfortunately, the paper disputes that interpretation. Dropout risks increased dramatically (unlike predicted by some of the literature) and it seems rather that learning just hit a floor during the earlier pandemic period.

@ElinaKilpi Wishing you lots of strength!!!

[Alex Usher @AlexUsherHESA]

Morning all. Big day at HESA Towers with the launch of our new report World Higher Education: Institutions, Students and Funding. Peruse the report and its associated country profiles, and read the blog to find out what makes it all so new and notable.
