Sector
Strategies
In
the Education sector there is no comprehensive state-level sector strategy. In
recognition of the need for a joint strategy, the EC assisted in the
development of the recent draft Strategy to the Reform of Education 2008-2015.
The Strategy was adopted by the Conference of Ministers of Education and
submitted to Council of Ministers (CoM). There are other state-level strategies
dealing with certain elements of the Education sector, such as the Strategy
for Vocational Education and Training, supported by the EC, and the
Strategy for Pre-School Education, developed by UNICEF.
Donor
Coordination
Donors
take part in semi-regular meetings, convened by OSCE,
which mostly serve as opportunities to share information. However, these
meetings do not necessarily translate into real coordination. Discussion is ongoing
as to who should organize and chair future gatherings.
