Higher education is not only seen today as a crucial element in the Bank's development strategy, but the Bank's thinking and actions in this area have begun to influence a number of bilateral donors into reconsidering their own focus on basic education as the only priority for financial and technical assistance in the education sector. This article presents the progression of the World Bank's position with respect to higher education and its contribution to development. It then reviews the different ways in which the Bank works with developing and transition countries in support of their higher education reform efforts, before concluding with a few observations about higher education's prospects within the World Bank's agenda. %@ 978-0-08-044894-7
