Description:
 Beginning in early 2005, with support from the World Bank, the Ministry developed its Secondary Education Development Strategy to address a number of challenges facing the sector. The Strategy identifies priority measures to be taken towards its stated objectives: expanding access with equity and equilibrium and improving completion rates of secondary education; improving the quality and relevance of secondary education; and improving the efficiency of secondary education at central, local and school levels. The strategy document was endorsed by the Cabinet in December 2006. The government’s recently approved Third Five-Year Plan includes measures for the education sector fully consistent with the Ministry’s strategy for secondary education.
