Abstract:

In this chapter, we explore the efforts that have been made to overcome the legacy of educational and economic segregation and failure. We consider the extent to which new policies, institutions and delivery mechanisms are succeeding in building a new, inclusive and high-quality skills development system, and highlight some of the key weaknesses that still remain.

Keywords:
