EFA Global Monitoring Report: Sub-Saharan Africa region
2007
UNESCO

The Education For All Global Monitoring Report is mandated to offer a global review of progress towards achieving the EFA goals. Yet the picture will look different from a regional perspective, and within each region, according to national perspectives. Even within a single country there may be disparities between one location and another, or one group and another. These regional overviews are based on information extracted from the full report. They present the outstanding trends, based on available data and country experience.

EFA: progress and achievements

While there has been progress towards EFA since 2000 in the sub-Saharan Africa region, it has been uneven. The pace of progress towards universal primary education (UPE) in the region has been faster than during the 1990s, with the average primary net enrolment ratio (NER) increasing from 57% to 70% between 1999 and 2005. However, some countries have lagged behind and some goals – such as early childhood care and education (ECCE), the learning needs of young people and adults, adult literacy and the quality of education – have received insufficient attention. Most countries failed to eliminate gender disparities in primary and secondary education by 2005. The region is still home to 33 million children not enrolled in school. Imbalances in the way many education systems are developing have both created and reinforced disparities. These must be redressed if children, youth and adults are to benefit equally from the opportunities education provides.
