Education
The objective is that more girls and boys are enrolled, retained and learning in pre-primary and primary schools, and there are fewer children out of school.
Challenges
Only 1 out of 3 children completes primary education
Families support 40 per cent of recurrent costs of the education system.
Only 20 per cent of teachers are civil servants and 97 per cent do not have a professional teaching diploma.
At the end of primary school only 17 per cent of students have minimum reading competencies (French) and 20 per cent for maths (PASEC 2015).
