Mali

Financing of basic education has been a major priority of the Malian Government over the past few years and, with the help of bilateral and multilateral aid, more money is being pumped into basic education. Basic education funding now accounts for 59% of the total education budget, and the motto of the government’s National Education Plan, PRODEC, is “un village, une école” (a school for each village). However, gender parity does not appear to be a major focus of the new education reforms.
