Senegal Schools Gaining Momentum with $40 Million from USAID
The $40 million program will be implemented in 10 of 14 regions in Senegal. Working closely with the Ministry of Education, USAID will:
* target more than 50,000 vulnerable children and street children, many of whom participate in the Koranic (Islamic) school system in Senegal and, in collaboration with local religious leaders and elected officials, ensure that they get increased educational support;
* develop a new curriculum that includes a focus on existing needs in the job market;
* promote issues of good governance with students and help implement them within the middle school curriculum;
* improve management and governance of the education system in Senegal through collaboration with Parent-Teacher Associations;
* increase WiFi access in more than 400 schools and provide training on new technologies that will support learning in the schools; and
* implement a national campaign to raise awareness of public-private partnerships in the education sector and encourage their formation.
