student learning outcomes. In higher education internal quality assurance system of higher education institutions and 

their link with labor market are weak. This results in many graduates not being able to find work in area of 

specialization and those who do often lack the level and mix of skills demanded by employers. The WBG 

interventions will support improving access to early childhood education in rural areas and development and
