Education

Benin’s education system has recently started to change, the details are laid out in their Education Sector Plan (ESP) for 2018-2030. The outline highlights the governments' vision for Benin which states, “In 2030, Benin’s education system ensures that all learners, without distinction, have the access to the skills, entrepreneurial spirit and innovation that will make them full-blown/fulfilled, competent and competitive citizens able to ensure economic growth, sustainable development and national cohesion”(Global Partnership for Education, 2022). Some of the plans in motion to ensure this happens are implementing a 12-year universal basic education system, developing a vocational training offer adapted to the needs of economic development, and improving the quality of teaching and learning as well as a few other plans. With all of these plans in motion, Benin is giving more children a chance at education, which is great. It’ll be exciting to watch the development of this plan over the next few years.
