| description |
The Cameroon economic updates aim at
sharing knowledge and stimulating debate among those
interested in improving the economic management of Cameroon
and unleashing its enormous potential. The notes thereby
offer another voice on economic issues in Cameroon, and an
additional platform for engagement, learning, and exchange.
The average observed economic growth rate from 2010 to 2013
is a mere four percent, one percentage point below the
vision 2035 targets. Achieving the official objectives set
for 2020 will require Cameroon to move to double digit
annual growth rates over the 2014-2020 period, compared to
the 4.8 to 5.4 percent projected by the World Bank. This
report looks at the quality of basic education to ensure
that the right investments are made in people to build human
capital, a key ingredient for sustainable economic growth.
Cameroon has achieved significant progress over the last
decade in expanding access to basic education. The number of
students completing primary school, the primary completion
rate, rose from 53 percent in 2001 to about 80 percent in
2011. The improvements in access to education also mask
significant differences in education performance across and
within individual regions, as well as between gender and
income groups. The economic update suggests improving data
collection in order to better monitor education service
provision, assess more systematically student learning,
increase in budget allocation to education as a whole,
reprioritize public spending to the zones d'education
prioritaires (Education Priority Zones) (ZEPs), ensure
transparency in budget allocation, and revisit the textbook
policy to ensure durability and affordability. |
