This report presents an analysis of how
effectively the current policies in Mauritania engage the
private sector in basic (primary and secondary) education.
The analysis draws on the engaging the private sector (EPS)
framework, a product of the World Bank’s systems approach
for better education results (SABER). SABER-EPS research in
Mauritania found that despite impressive gains in increasing
enrollment and achieving gender parity at the primary level,
access to post-primary schooling remains low, and ensuring
equity in education is a challenge. School providers in
Nepal include institutional schools, which are private, and
community schools that receive government funding. Based on
a review of existing policies SABER-EPS offers the following
recommendations for Mauritania to enhance private sector
engagement in education to meet the challenges of access,
quality, and equity: (1) improve the regulatory environment
to support a greater supply of post-primary schools in
underserved areas; (2) strengthen accountability measures,
including regularly collecting and disseminating comparable
information on school performance, while increasing school
autonomy; and (3) consider providing additional support to
poor and marginalized students attending independent schools
and post-primary schooling. The report provides an overview
of SABER-EPS, followed by a description of the basic
education system in Mauritania, with a focus on the private
sector and government policies related to private provision
of education. The report then benchmarks Mauritania’s policy
environment utilizing the SABER-EPS framework, and offers
policy options to enhance learning for all children in
primary and secondary school. |
