| Summary: | This sector note aims to assist the
Government, and the Ministry of Education in developing a
joint strategy, and action plan for the education, and
training sector, and to improve coordination of donor inputs
related to this strategy. The note provides an analysis of
major issues, achievements, and bottlenecks in the current
system, and an overview of key priorities, and
recommendations for actions to improve the performance of
the sector. As well, it provides a background document for
discussions with other education stakeholders, and
international donors. Within the country's
socioeconomic context, the note reviews the priority
challenges the country faces, namely to improve access to,
and equity, and quality of education. School mapping will be
needed to establish the provision of educational services,
as well as a strategy document for providing services to the
nomadic population, to raise the net enrollment ratio. The
causes, and effects of repetition, and drop-outs should be
further analyzed, which includes teacher skills, and
attitudes. Solutions could include the automatic promotion
for the primary level, phasing out late-age-entry into
primary and over-age students, and, providing the
alternative of distance learning education. Teacher training
should be significantly improved, through teacher
certification, intensified in-service support, and English
language skills. The note further emphasizes on
strengthening, and expanding institutional capacity, and
creating a sustainable, equitable financing system. |
