The government of Djibouti recognizes education as essential for growth and human development. As a result, the government has placed education at the center of its development policies.
Despite progress in increasing access and coverage in education, access to education continues to be one of the country's major challenges. Other challenges include quality, the availability of learning materials, and disparities due to gender, geographic areas, and socio-economic status.
