  1. ADEA’s 2008 Biennale on Education in Africa Beyond primary education : Challenges and approaches for expanding learning opportunities in Africa Session 1: Introductory Presentations Dakar +7 Report: Top priority for integrated sector-wide policies Education Sector Analysis Pole UNESCO-BREDA poledakar@poledakar.org www.poledakar.org Au delà de l’éducation primaire : Défis et approches pour étendre les opportunités d’apprentissage en AfriqueAssociation for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA)Biennale 2008 on Post-Primary Education

  2. ADEA’s 2008 Biennale on Education in Africa Beyond primary education : Challenges and approaches for expanding learning opportunities in Africa The issues • Apart from providing support to the national teams for carrying out sector-wide diagnosis, the Dakar node (Pôle de Dakar) is mandated to monitor educational polices in Africa (statistical monitoring, analyses, reference points for action) • It does this regularly by mobilising ISU data, information collected during national sector-wide analyses, and through the use of available surveys (household, employment,…) Au delà de l’éducation primaire : Défis et approches pour étendre les opportunités d’apprentissage en AfriqueAssociation for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA)Biennale 2008 on Post-Primary Education

  3. ADEA’s 2008 Biennale on Education in Africa Beyond primary education : Challenges and approaches for expanding learning opportunities in Africa Scope of the analysis • Trends compared 1990-2000-2005… • institutional context (national and international) • enrolment (access, retention, completion at the different levels of education) • Mobilisation of information on quality, internal and external effectiveness, funding • Simulation of changes in enrolment indicators for 2015-2020 Au delà de l’éducation primaire : Défis et approches pour étendre les opportunités d’apprentissage en AfriqueAssociation for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA)Biennale 2008 on Post-Primary Education

  4. ADEA’s 2008 Biennale on Education in Africa Beyond primary education : Challenges and approaches for expanding learning opportunities in Africa • Major institutional changes • Unprecedented progress towards achieving UPE • A general problem of quality of learning, though this can be solved, as far as quantity/quality arbitration is concerned • Pressure on Post Primary Education (PPE) for which reform was postponed. • At present pace and cost, potential growth in PPE may be difficult to sustain Key outcomes Au delà de l’éducation primaire : Défis et approches pour étendre les opportunités d’apprentissage en AfriqueAssociation for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA)Biennale 2008 on Post-Primary Education

  5. ADEA’s 2008 Biennale on Education in Africa Beyond primary education : Challenges and approaches for expanding learning opportunities in Africa • External effectiveness of PPE poor since it is often far removed from the true picture of the markets • Inequitable and inefficient mode of funding • Individual gain from public resources is socially uneven as it increases with the length of time spent in schools • The share of private funding is greater for basic education levels • In PPE, undifferentiated public funding enhances imbalances Key outcomes (cont’d) Au delà de l’éducation primaire : Défis et approches pour étendre les opportunités d’apprentissage en AfriqueAssociation for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA)Biennale 2008 on Post-Primary Education

  6. ADEA’s 2008 Biennale on Education in Africa Beyond primary education : Challenges and approaches for expanding learning opportunities in Africa • Success in achieving UPE underscores the urgent need for integrated sector-wide policies • No new phase, a continuation of the previoius phase, but a change of ambition for Educational Systems (ES),which demands that the following be taken into account: • Consolidation of a qualitative UPE • Deep reform of PPE • Arbitration that guarantees the financial and social sustainability of these policies within an adapted time-table Major lessons learnt Au delà de l’éducation primaire : Défis et approches pour étendre les opportunités d’apprentissage en AfriqueAssociation for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA)Biennale 2008 on Post-Primary Education

  7. ADEA’s 2008 Biennale on Education in Africa Beyond primary education : Challenges and approaches for expanding learning opportunities in Africa Conclusions • New consensus to be built on more complex arbitrations (consensus on UPE was easy to achieve) • Contents, orientation of flows, funding to be determined taking the collective interest into account • These new projects will benefit from the changes in practices that have attended the progress towards achieveing UPE • But will require new tools of intervention and dialogue Au delà de l’éducation primaire : Défis et approches pour étendre les opportunités d’apprentissage en AfriqueAssociation for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA)Biennale 2008 on Post-Primary Education
