| Summary: | The Government of Equatorial Guinea
(GoEG) requested financial, analytical, and technical
support from the World Bank during the country’s protracted
economic recession. Given the prioritization of education in
the country’s national development plan, the World Bank
agreed to undertake an education sector diagnostic study to:
(a) help the World Bank better understand the education
sector, including the main challenges and policy priorities
of the government; (b) facilitate dialogue between the World
Bank and GoEG in the education sector and suggest options to
move forward in the current economic downturn; (c) provide
supporting background for a parallel activity that is
focusing on public expenditures in the social sector (public
expenditure review (PER)); (d) support the activities that
are planned as part of the national development plan’s
programa mayor educación para todos; and (e) provide
education sector stakeholders with an updated summary of the
sector including a review of recent indicator trends and
program activities. This diagnostic focuses primarily on
primary and secondary education, while also providing some
information on technical and vocational education and
training (TVET) and higher education, especially where
relevant to the other subsectors. It is also intended to
update an earlier World Bank-supported education sector
diagnostic. The diagnostic is divided into three main parts.
Part A focuses on country context, background on the
education sector, and recent trends in education (for
example, enrollment, and repetition). Part B moves into the
education sector diagnostic by topic, focusing on the main
challenges in areas such as education finance, quality, and
learning outcomes. Part C introduces possible policy
actions, framed with the current crisis context, that
address some of the main issues identified in Part B. |
