| Tóm tắt: | Even as countries in Sub-Saharan Africa work towards achieving better learning outcomes for children through systemic reform, the affordability and availability of textbooks remains a persistent challenge. Yet despite extensive technical support and funding from external development partners, including the World Bank, making textbooks affordable and available to teachers and students remains an elusive objective for most countries in the region. Most African countries experience low learning outcomes and high drop-out rates. Only two-thirds of those who enter school reach the final grade, and only about half of these master basic numeracy and literacy skills. There is wide agreement that availability of textbooks is both an indispensable and a cost-effective way of improving the quality of the learning process. |
