Benin’s education policy is based on the objectives of the
United Nations’ Education for All programme. It aims
to offer improved primary education and greater equality of
opportunity for all children by 2015.
Considerable progress has been made in giving children access
to the education system. Enrolment rates for primary schools
and lower secondary schools have risen dramatically, with
the number of students increasing twofold between 2006 and
2010. However, this quantitative development has had a negative
impact on both the quality and internal efficiency of the
education system.
The education authorities are responsible
for carrying out tasks in key areas such as school inspection,
educational quality development, teacher training and in-service
training, as well as in educational administration and planning.
But they face problems of an organisational and institutional
nature, as well as equipment and staff-related issues, all
of which severely restrict their ability to take action.
Objective
The efficiency of government education authorities is increased
in the areas of school inspection, school administration and
curriculum planning.
