The findings show that officials tend to prioritize increasing secondary school completion over improving learning quality, and they severely underestimate learning poverty and do so by a larger margin than officials in other countries. Officials were most likely to cite system capacity as the primary constraint to improving learning. The findings show that officials\u2019 support for gender equality and disability inclusion is high. Interviewed officials tend to oppose violence against students and prefer to invest in in-service teacher training or early-grade reading compared to other options, such as EdTech or inclusion for students with disabilities. This mix of alignment and misalignment between policy makers\u2019 goals and the stated goals of development partners can inform future engagement in policy dialogue, analysis, and information campaigns.","geographic_units":[{"name":"East Asia Pacific","code":"EAP"}],"keywords":[{"name":"education"},{"name":"bureaucracy"},{"name":"policy preferences"},{"name":"discrete choice"}],"acknowledgment_statement":"The authors benefited from useful comments on the analysis from Andrew D.
