Despite good progress, challenges remain in partner countries

Challenge

GPE responds

Challenge

The number of primary and lower secondary out-of-school children increased, in part due to population growth, especially in low-income countries

 

GPE responds

  • Helps partner countries build classrooms, train teachers and provide textbooks
  • Provides grants focused on increasing access to basic education
 
 

Challenge

Girls continued to be disadvantaged

 

GPE responds

  • Provides guidance on gender-responsive education sector planning
  • Assesses gender aspects of sector plans
  • Funds components on gender equality
 
 

Challenge

The lack of trained teachers impacts children's learning

 

GPE responds

  • Studies the supply of trained teachers and their equitable deployment
  • Promotes knowledge exchange around teachers
  • Collaborates with UNESCO's IIEP-Pôle de Dakar and explores developing guidelines for country-level actors
  • Provides grants to help partner countries train teachers
 
 

Challenge

The partnership needs to strengthen and use partner countries' systems – their institutions, human resources, procedures and tools – including annual joint sector reviews

 

GPE responds

  • Developed a roadmap to guide alignment, including engaging with grant agents and promoting good practices
  • Provides tools to support effective joint sector reviews
