Significant reforms have been made to the education system in Angola, improving the literacy and enrollment rates in recent years. However, school completion rates indicate high levels of dropout. The Angolan Education Law (2021) makes primary education free and compulsory for 6 years, but approximately 2 million children are still out of school.
The country's long-term strategy–Estratégia de Longo Prazo Angola 2025–promotes the human and educational development of the Angolan people.
Angola's National Development Plan 2018-2022 sets medium-term strategies to expand access to and promote quality education. Policy priorities include:
Education policy is the responsibility of the Ministry of Education, and the National Education Development Plan Educar Angola 2030, running since 2017, guides policy implementation.
