Public spending for education, relative to the gross domestic product declined in the 90s, coinciding with a five-fold rise in the country's interest payment for external debt.

In primary education, challenges remain to raise educational enrollment rates and reduce grade repetition; including the rationalization of teacher allocation, and provision of learning materials. At the secondary level, policy issues should expand enrollment at a moderate pace, focusing on quality improvements. As for vocational and technical education, the provision of training should be rationalized, to reduce costs, aligning training to labor demand; similarly, for higher education. 2013-06-20T19:40:52Z 2013-06-20T19:40:52Z 2002 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2002/01/1808691/education-training-madagascar-toward-policy-agenda-economic-growth-poverty-reduction-education-training-madagascar-toward-policy-agenda-economic-growth-poverty-reduction 0-8213-5164-8 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/14088 English en_US World Bank country study; CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Publication Publications & Research :: Publication Africa Madagascar
