With challenges similar to those faced by a number of low income
countries, Madagascar faces critical policy choices with respect to
post-basic education. Enrolment ratios in senior secondary education
and tertiary education are 10 percent and 3 percent, respectively,
among the lowest in the world. Critical skill shortages and pervasive
inequities in access necessitate changes in the quantity and quality of
education and skills. The increasing number of basic education
completers and demographic growth are mounting pressure on the
government to expand access to post-basic education. Responding to
these economic and social challenges, the government has made the
transformation of education one of the key priorities of the Madagascar
Action Plan.
Developing the Workforce, Shaping the Future presents
Madagascar’s core challenges and argues persuasively that the
time for transforming the post-basic education system is now. It
documents the poor performance of the post-basic education system in
the areas of quality and relevance, internal efficiency, equity and
financial inefficiency. The report provides a convincing reform
scenario for a low income country, with actions to be undertaken in the
medium and long term to sustain the development of post-basic education
in an environment of limited public resources and implementation
capacity. Policy makers in other developing countries will find this
report useful to gauge their own strategies for post basic
education.
