Details of the strategy were released in a statement on October 25. The plan includes enhanced training for teachers, equipping schools with digital tools, and building modern technological infrastructure across the country. The SNDECI 2024-2028 aligns with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to ensure quality education through modern tools.
Mariatou Koné, the Ivorian Minister of Education, emphasized that “digitalization is no longer an option but a necessity for more effective, transparent, and participative management at all levels.” She highlighted the government's commitment to creating an equitable and high-performing education system that meets current challenges and urged support from financial and technical partners.
In recent years, the Ivorian government has implemented various measures to improve the education system. One notable effort is the compulsory schooling policy introduced in 2015, which focuses on increasing enrollment for girls. According to government data, the completion rate for girls in primary education rose from 79.80% in 2018-2019 to 80.77% in 2022-2023.
For 2024, Côte d'Ivoire has allocated over CFA1,236.1 billion (around $2.4 billion) in its budget for the Ministry of Education and Literacy.
