Multiple political, economic and security crises over the last decade have created immense challenges for education in Central African Republic: 54% of girls and 33% of boys do not complete basic education, and most students who complete basic education do not master basic reading and math skills.
The government is working with GPE and other partners to bring about transformative change and ensure that all children have access to quality education and stay in school.
Central African Republic's Partnership Compact aims to establish equitable and inclusive basic education supported by qualified teachers.
The reform includes creating a system for managing teaching resources and strengthening initial and continuous teacher training. Central African Republic will target access and retention of students in school through formal education and non-formal education.
Additionally, institutional capacity to implement the reform will be strengthened by better production and use of data, monitoring and evaluation, and working in partnership with education stakeholders.
Two transversal axes – girls' education and education in emergency situations – are integrated into all measures of the reform.
