| Summary: | This thematic study discusses strategies
for sustainable financing of secondary education in
Sub-Saharan Africa. The report provides insight into options
for financing the expansion of secondary education and
training in Africa. This comes with a hefty price tag and
points to the need to undertake fundamental reforms swiftly.
This publication messages are clear: secondary education and
training in Sub-Saharan Africa faces the challenge of
improved efficiency and improved quality simultaneously with
a fast growing demand. Sustainable financing will also
require more effective public-private partnerships, because
governments have many priorities and do not have a lot of
room for significant additional public funding of
post-primary systems. Educational reforms are needed to
expand enrollment in secondary schooling in affordable ways.
These reforms will contribute to poverty reduction by
increasing the levels of knowledge, skills, and capability;
diminishing inequalities in access that limit social
mobility and skew income distribution; and contributing to
the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
that relate to education. |
