Rapport de l'étude sur la privatisation et la marchandisation de l'éducation et la formation au Sénégal

Ce rapport résulte d’une étude exhaustive sur la privatisation et la marchandisation de l’éducation au Sénégal.

Les résultats, analyses et conclusions de cette étude mettent en évidence :
  • D’une part, l’ancrage de plus en plus profond de la privatisation de l’éducation dans le pays et la dérive qui en résulte, à savoir la marchandisation de celle-ci.
  • D’autre part, les enjeux et défis de la lutte pour une Ecole et une Université publiques de qualité, performantes et attractives.
Ce rapport devra servir d’outil de plaidoyer et de lutte pour une éducation publique de qualité pour tous. Cet
objectif noble, ambitieux et légitime est un impératif pour le respect des principes d’équité, de justice et d’inclusion sociales mais aussi, pour répondre aux exigences de développement économique, social et culturel de notre pays.

Learning at risk: the impact of climate displacement on the right to education; global report

This report aims to examine the barriers to education as a result of climate change and climate displacement, taking into account the policy implications of heightened human mobility. The comparative analysis contained is based on research undertaken in four regions around the globe (Central America and the Caribbean, Asia-Pacific, South-Eastern Europe and East Africa). The key conclusion of the analysis is that climate change poses direct and indirect threats to the fulfillment of SDG 4 and the right to education in all four regions studied.

The impact of climate change on education and what to do about it

This paper lays out four concrete ways in which governments can protect education systems from climate change so that their positive impacts on economic development, poverty alleviation, and social cohesion can be sustained and boosted. These are: (i) education management for resilience; (ii) school infrastructure for resilience; (iii) ensuring learning continuity in the face of climate shocks; and (iv) leveraging students and teachers as change agents. The paper presents an actionable agenda for each of these with operational examples in different contexts.
