This strategy note highlights issues
derived from the preparation of the Djibouti School Access
and Improvement Project, on the overall strategy of the
education sector reforms, and long-term economic reforms. It
reviews the country's education indicators - among the
lowest in the world - where primary gross enrollment is
under forty percent, and basic education enrollment, under
twenty nine percent. Djibouti's curriculum is mainly
based on the French education system, barely relevant to the
country's needs. To this end, the Government
established a National Education Forum, which recommended
changes in the education law, which were codified into a new
law, adopted in August 2000. Educational restructuring took
place, moving from a six-year compulsory primary school
system, to a nine-year compulsory basic education system
(consolidating primary, and basic education), to meet the
target set for basic education for all. However, the
education and training system faces serious issues, namely
access to, and equity of education; weak quality of learning
due to insufficient teachers, and archaic pedagogic methods;
high repetition and drop-out rates, due to competitive
entrance examinations, and/or social pressures; and,
insufficient Government resources to increase access, or
improve quality. Recommendations suggest to conduct studies
on factors affecting family incentives to foster school
enrollment, particularly for girls' education, and
those affecting quality of education, and, to review
adaptability of curricula to the local context, social
demands for higher education, and gender equity issues, in
addition to financing options, in particular recurrent cost
issues, with a focus on the role of the private sector. |
