4.3 Education

The 2006-2007 school year began with a degree of optimism that the education system would be able function nationwide. Hopes were high, particularly in the northern, central and western regions that students would be able to sit end of year exams, something which has been impossible since the start of the crisis in 2002. Unfortunately, a teachers’ strike during the first term constituted a major set back, and the country’s education system remains greatly affected. Additionally, the impoverishment of the population has contributed to an increase in the number of child labourers, particularly in rural areas. Schools and school attendance, particularly in those areas hardest hit by the war, is characterised by the following

• 
  A lack and/or shortage of qualified teaching personnel; many schools are managed by voluntary teachers, often ill-trained and unmotivated: to date, only 30% of the original qualified teachers have been redeployed.
  
• 
  The development of informal education systems;
  
• 
  An increasing and generalised decay of school infrastructure;
  
• 
  An inadequate number of operating schools: several schools remained closed during this period because of a lack of teachers, significant structural degradation and/or destruction, and a lack of furniture;
  
• 
  High rates of dropout due to the crisis (child soldiers, traumatised children or children affected economically by the crisis).
  

• 
  Stimulation of demand for education: the Back to School campaign initiated by all partners of the sectoral group resulted in the mobilisation of communities with regard to children’s right to education;
  
• 
  Improvement in the ‘supply’ of education: almost 100 schools have been rehabilitated and equipped in the zones most affected by the crisis, by all partners together;
  
• 
  Improvement in the quality of education: 4,880 teaching kits have been distributed to teachers in the zones most affected by the crisis;
  
• 
  School directors have been trained in school management, and 1,200 teachers were trained in the Peace and Tolerance education programme.
  

As a result of the above, the specific objectives of the response plan and the indicators have been reviewed. The activities to be carried out will be more focused on areas that are likely to face specific needs as a result of the return of displaced persons and/or the redeployment of the administration.

• 
  Coverage rate of prenatal care;
  
• 
  Number of births attended by trained personnel;
  
•
