Towards meeting quality education services in African countries.
Less than half the children in sub-Saharan Africa can neither read nor write, a quarter of primary-school-age children reach the fourth year without having acquired the basics and over a third do not reach the fourth year. ccording to the 2010 EFA Global Monitoring Report, “millions of children are leaving school without having acquired basic skills. In some countries in sub-Saharan Africa, young adults with five years of education had a 40% probability of being illiterate”.The teacher training systems are generally not able to meet the quantitive and qualitative needs of training. In Chad, for example, only 35.5% of teachers are certified to teach.
there is also the problem of extra-large classrooms in public schools. In Nigeria, there are schools with a teacher to pupil ratio of 80:1. This makes it difficult for personalized instruction.
There are should be More comprehensive training of head teachers and administrators in economic administration, Regular government inspection of schools,Empower and mobilize local watchdog organizations such as parent-teacher organizations and school-management committees, Increase access to early childhood development programmes,Increase access to schools, Improve transportation infrastructure in rural areas so as to uplift education services in African countries.
