    Guidance Note: Education Sector Risk Assessment

    About this ebook

    The education sector is vulnerable to a broad range of risks that can threaten development effectiveness. Risks can spring from several factors: substantial share of education in total government expenditure, opportunities for discretionary decision making, political interference and patronage networks, weak sector institutions, and nontransparent and inefficient systems. Vulnerabilities may exist at any stage and among any group of actors from policy makers to education providers and to education beneficiaries. Weak accountability increases the likelihood of misaligned priorities, resource leakages, and poor service delivery. This guidance note aims to explain key features of the education sector and identify entry points for mapping governance risks.

      Guidance Note - Asian Development Bank

      Foreword

      The Guidance Note: Education Sector Risk Assessment is part of a series of guidance notes for priority sectors and subsectors of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). A joint knowledge product of ADB’s Governance and Education Communities of Practice, it offers a framework for mapping governance risks to inform the preparation of country partnership strategies. Such a framework covers institutional aspects (policy, legal framework, and regulation); organizational aspects (planning, financial management, procurement, and human resources); and sector operations.

      This guidance note also supplements ADB’s Guidelines for Implementing the Second Governance and Anticorruption Action Plan. The purpose of the Second Governance and Anticorruption Action Plan is to improve ADB’s performance in implementing the governance and anticorruption policies in the sectors and subsectors in which ADB is active, as well as to design and deliver better quality programs and projects.

      A team from the Public Management, Governance, and Participation Division of the Regional and Sustainable Development Department initiated this guidance note. The team comprised Surya Shrestha (senior governance and capacity development specialist) and Brenda Katon (governance specialist, consultant). Laarni Zapanta provided administrative support to the team.

      ADB’s Governance and Education Practice Leaders provided input and suggestions during the preparation and finalization of this guidance note. Other reviewers included Jazira Asanova, Tariq Niazi, and Jose Luis Syquia. Their input is deeply appreciated.

      The Department of External Relations extended timely assistance for copyediting, finalizing the cover design, and uploading this guidance note on ADB’s governance website. A special word of appreciation goes to Robert Hugh Davis, Vicente Angeles, Rodel Bautista, Ma. Priscila del Rosario, Christine Orquiola, and Anthony Victoria.
