Many countries in Africa have placed
education at the center of their social and economic
development strategies. Although much has been achieved
across the region, some challenges remain: millions of
children are still not enrolled in primary school; girls,
children from poor families, and those from rural areas are
at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to schooling; and
learning outcomes are weak. In addition, secondary schools
are struggling to accommodate children who complete primary
school, while institutions providing higher education and
technical and vocational education and training often lack
labor market relevance, jeopardizing future economic growth.
Deeper analytical work to inform education policy is
becoming increasingly important. This first Country Status
Report (CSR) for The Gambia is part of an ongoing series of
country specific reports being prepared by government teams
technically supported by the World Bank, United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
and other development partners. These reports aim to help
engage a diverse audience and to develop a shared vision for
the future of the education sector, in line with the Paris
declaration on aid effectiveness. The Gambia report offers
not only traditional and basic indicators such as gross
enrollment rates, but also analyzes the performance of the
education system in terms of access, internal efficiency and
learning outcomes; equity; external efficiency and its
alignment with labor market needs; resource allocation and
utilization; and management. It takes into account revised
population data estimates and projections down to the
district level that were computed by the CSR joint team and
that were recently published by the Gambia bureau of
statistics. The report highlights the country's
significant recent progress in terms of education, and the
challenges that remain. The Gambia is still among the most
advanced countries in the region in terms of enrollment and
completion indicators at all education levels. |
