Le developpement des competences en Afrique subsaharienne, un exercice d'equilibre: Investir dans les competences pour la productivite, l'inclusion et l'adaptabilite

Malgré la forte croissance économique, l'Afrique subsaharienne fait face à des niveaux de transformation économique, de réduction de la pauvreté et de développement des compétences inférieurs aux autres régions. Des investissements judicieux dans le développement des compétences sont nécessaires pour accélérer la transformation au XXIe siècle. L'augmentation de la population en âge de travailler offre une opportunité, mais les systèmes d'éducation doivent être renforcés pour obtenir des résultats positifs. Une réforme du système est impérative pour réaliser des progrès significatifs.

Despite the significant economic growth experienced by Sub-Saharan Africa over the past two decades, the region's levels of economic transformation, poverty reduction, and skill development remain significantly lower than in other parts of the world. To accelerate Sub-Saharan Africa's economic transformation into the 21st century, judicious investments in skill development must align with political goals of productivity growth, inclusion, and adaptability. The growing workforce in Sub-Saharan Africa presents a real opportunity to enhance collective prosperity. Countries in the region have made substantial investments in skill development, with public education expenditures increasing sevenfold over the past 30 years, and the number of school-age children has never been higher. However, the education systems in these countries have not yielded the expected results, impeding economic prospects. In half of the countries, fewer than two out of three children complete primary education, and even fewer attain higher education levels and obtain diplomas. The acquired skills remain limited, leading to deficiencies in fundamental cognitive skills such as reading, writing, and arithmetic, affecting children, youth, and adults alike. The adult literacy rate is below 50% in many countries, and the functional literacy rate among adults is even lower. A system reform is urgently needed to achieve meaningful progress.
