Education in Benin (original) (raw)
Benin has abolished school fees and is carrying out the recommendations of its 2007 Educational Forum. (Its education system used not to be free.) In 2018, the net primary enrollment rate was 97 percent. Gross enrollment rate in secondary education has greatly increased in the last two decades, from 21.8 percent in 2000 to 59 percent in 2016, 67.1 percent in the case of males and 50.7 percent for females. Because of a rapid increase in the enrollment rate, the student/teacher ratio rose from 36:1 in 1990 to 53:1 in 1997 but has dropped again in the last years to 39:1 (2018). In 2018, the gross enrollment ratio in tertiary education was 12.5%.

| dbo:abstract | Benin has abolished school fees and is carrying out the recommendations of its 2007 Educational Forum. (Its education system used not to be free.) In 2018, the net primary enrollment rate was 97 percent. Gross enrollment rate in secondary education has greatly increased in the last two decades, from 21.8 percent in 2000 to 59 percent in 2016, 67.1 percent in the case of males and 50.7 percent for females. Because of a rapid increase in the enrollment rate, the student/teacher ratio rose from 36:1 in 1990 to 53:1 in 1997 but has dropped again in the last years to 39:1 (2018). In 2018, the gross enrollment ratio in tertiary education was 12.5%. The overall adult literacy rate is 42.4 percent (2018), significantly lower than in neighbors Togo (63.7%) and Nigeria (62%). Only 31.1% of women in Benin 15 years or older are literate, although this number increases to 51.9% for the 15-24 year olds (69.8% for men). The Human Rights Measurement Initiative (HRMI) finds that Benin is fulfilling only 77.6% of what it should be fulfilling for the right to education based on the country's level of income. HRMI breaks down the right to education by looking at the rights to both primary education and secondary education. While taking into consideration Benin's income level, the nation is achieving 96.5% of what should be possible based on its resources (income) for primary education but only 58.8% for secondary education. (en) Le Bénin dispose d'une offre et d'une qualité des services d’enseignement primaire très variables selon les secteurs géographiques (plus faible dans les zones pauvres rurales). Il souffre d'un manque de structures d'accueil et d'un problème d'absentéisme (ou de grève) et de qualification des enseignants (- de 20 % des enseignants ont eux-mêmes reçu une formation pédagogique). En 2013, le Bénin comptait 1 700 000 élèves dans l’enseignement primaire. Le taux d'alphabétisation est de 49 %. 22 % des dépenses de l’État ont été consacrées à l’éducation en 2013, soit 5 % du PIB. En 2014, lors de la Conférence de reconstitution des ressources du GPE, le gouvernement du Bénin s’est engagé à maintenir les dépenses d’éducation à 27 % (dont 50 % destinées à l’enseignement primaire) entre 2014 et 2018. En 2015, les dépenses publiques s'élevaient à 4,4 % du PIB, selon l'Institut de statistique de l'Unesco. Les indicateurs de l’éducation sont en progression malgré les difficultés liées à l’accès des filles à l’école. En effet, en 2009, 68,38 % de garçons ont achevé le cycle primaire pour 52,24 % de filles. (fr) |
