Background
Measuring progress in education and training is useful to inform the building of policies in related fields (employment, etc). Progress is particularly relevant to education in that it is both a related means and end goal that serves to enrich human capacities for knowledge and understanding.
In the wake of recent political conflicts, Kosovo is currently endeavoring to build national institutions and augment the level and quality of education throughout the country. The success of these endeavors is crucial in determining whether or not the country will gain membership to international organizations.
As Kosovo has one of the youngest populations in the world with a median age of approximately 26, education and training affects a great part of country’s population. [ Citation needed ]

According to one of the most influential contemporary contributions to thinking about progress (Sen’s “capabilities approach), education and knowledge together with other dimensions like good health, personal safety, etc., are factors that increase our capability to achieve well-being.[1] Increased quality of education also renders improved levels of physical and mental health, understanding of politics, interpersonal relationships, material well-being, longevity and can reduce crime rates, drug abuse and poverty.
