The Status of Education in Mauritania
Introduction In the past decade, the Mauritanian authorities have espoused the goal of universal enrolment by the year 2000, which the international community adopted in 1990 at Jomtien (Thailand). They have made basic education central to all development programmes and have implemented an education policy since 1990 with the aid of funding agencies. As a prelude to the Dakar Forum in April 2000, an assessment was made of progress in achieving the Jomtien goals. |
