• This paper is one of a series of reports based upon the " Social Challenges of Transition (SCT) " database, documenting empirically the evolving effects of transition on individuals and families. This cross-country study examines empirical trends in access, financing, and delivery of education in nine Central and East European countries -Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, FYR Macedonia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the Slovak Republic, and Slovenia. Section 1 examines changes in access to education, as measured by trends in enrollments across education levels. Section 2 discusses the links between labor market developments and the education sector, highlighting the impact of structural shifts in employment on education. Section 3 discusses the financing of education, describing changing financing mechanisms and trends in expenditures. Section 4 analyzes the changing situation for teachers in the region; and Section 5 summarizes the main findings and proposes directions for further research.
