| Résumé : |
Primary education is a building block not only for further education but for the future. Economic and social Progress depend on a thinking population and a literate, numerate labor force that can acquire, apply, and advance knowledge. Too often, though especially in the developing world, primary schools fail to help students acquire basic cognitive skills.
Improving Primary Education in Developing countries is the first comprehensive review of both the scholarly literature in the subject and donors’ experience. The book provides an overview of primary education systems and argues that developing countries must do more to serve the needs of all children. Those who have traditionally been underrepresented in primary school – girls and children from poor and rural families – must have greater access to education and more encouragement to enrol. At the same time, the curriculum must be strengthened, teaching made more effective and other measure taken to ensure that when students complete the primary cycle, they have mastered what is taught. The authors discuss strategies for improving five aspects of primary education systems. They begin with the inputs that are necessary for children to learn, including plentiful, well-designed instructional materials, sufficient classroom time, and proper health care and nutrition. Subsequent chapters discuss ways to improve teacher training and motivation, to perform managerial and other institutional functions better, to make access to education more equitable, and to finance investment in education by tapping both domestic resources and foreign aid. The book concludes by outlining the challenges countries face at different stages of educational development and the suggesting priorities for reform. Nearly 100 boxes, figures, and tables supplement the text, and 23 appendix tables provide data on 129 countries, individually and by income group. |
