| Summary: | A key objective of this report is to
contribute toward developing a widely-shared vision for
educational development for Madagascar based on a common
understanding of the chalenges involved, and the part that
each participant can play in realizing that vision. The
report deals with all the main education sectors (i.e.,
primary, secondary, vocational/technical, and higher
education), but the focus is necessarily limited by the
complexity of the subject. In particular, non-formal
education has been set aside. Similarly, neither early
childhood nor curriculum development, teacher education, and
pedagogical methods are addressed here. Rather, the emphasis
is on key aspects of education cost and finance, and the
link between spending options and educational outcomesA
summary of key challenges includes an overall sector stratey
of universalizing basic education of a reasonable quality
while closely linking expansion of other levels and types of
education and training to labor market demand. Further
challenges include at the primary level, rationalizing
teacher allocation to increase their time utilization;
reducing the drop-out rate and grade repitition; and
enhancing student learning with teaching materials and
improving pedagogical management. At the secondary level,
expand enrollment and increase the practice of multi-subject
teaching. Reducing the cost of vocational training and
improving higher education quality and responsiveness to
market demand are other challenges. |
