| Summary: | Guinea is one of the few countries
world-wide to have sustained over an entire decade the
primary school enrollment rate increases necessary to
achieve the key Dakar education-for-all goals without
degradation of quality. Gross enrollment rate increased
almost 10% annually from 1991-2001, with girls'
enrollment increasing at 12% annually each year. Gross
primary enrollments increased from 28% to 61% over this
ten-year period, in spite of a weak macroeconomic
environment. The Guinea case, then, provides guidance on how
resource-poor countries can plan and follow a steady course
toward Universal Primary Education through policy change and
hard work, even where conditions, on the surface, are not
particularly favorable. |
