In a recent World Bank announcement, it was made clear that Djibouti will be supported with further investments in order to realize an education expansion for more than 35,000 students.\u00a0<\/b>
\nThe $15 million investment will come from the International Development Association (IDA), a special division of the World Bank, which concentrates on helping developing countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Education expansion<\/span><\/h2>\n

The education expansion the Djibouti government is planning relates mainly to opening more spaces for students and improving their access to quality education.\u00a0<\/b>
\nThe IDA will entirely fund the Expanding Opportunities for Learning Project<\/a><\/span>. One part of the funding ($10 million) will be invested as credit, while the rest ($5 million) will be awarded through a specialized grant, dedicated to Refugees and Host Communities.<\/span>
\nOne of the main goals of the project will be to set the foundations for a well-functioning primary education system.<\/b> Of course, the ideal mission of the project will be to develop this system further to cover secondary education as well.<\/span>
\nOther missions set out by the projects include extensive teacher training, which will boost the quality of education offered in Djibouti.<\/b><\/p>\n

Choosing education<\/span><\/h2>\n

Education is one of the primary cornerstones of a prosperous country. Consequently, Djibouti is correctly setting its investments towards developing the education sector.<\/span>
\nIn this sense, Djibouti is one of the most forward-thinking countries in Africa, as it is actively focusing on boosting access to quality education for pupils of all ages.\u00a0<\/span>
\nAccording to recent <\/b>research<\/b><\/a> by the United Nations (UN), many of the developing countries are still lagging in adopting the necessary measures to meet their Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).<\/b>
\nThese are important goals, as according to the UN, very few of the countries participating in the agreement will be able to show even preliminary progress by the 2030 deadline.\u00a0<\/span>
\nHopefully, initiatives like the one World Bank has started in Djibouti will help this situation change for the better. <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
