77 percent of primary school students are not able to read an 80 word Arabic text, while 70 percent cannot read a French text consisting of 15 words, according to figures issued by the ministry of National Education.
The figures presented by the Minister of National Education on Thursday, also showed that 87 percent of fifth-grade students cannot complete a simple division.
Minister of Education Chakib Benmoussa added, as part of the Roadmap 2026.2022 seminar, that the dropout rate in middle schools amounts to 53 percent, and 24 percent in highschools.
The same government official explained that the plan consulted 33,493 students, 21,837 teachers, 20,666 families, and 1,766 educational institutions.
The ministry worked through 22,000 survey answers to draft its Education Roadmap 2022-2026, noting that the participants’ opinions gave suggestions, including improving wages, integrating academies frameworks, and strengthening teacher training.
Benmoussa also indicated that the ministry aims by 2026 to double the proportion of primary school students who have a hold of basic education to 60 percent, double the proportion of students benefiting from parallel activities, and then reduce the school dropouts by one third.
Benmoussa proposes creating at least 4,000 new primary schools to enable 90 percent of children to access primary education, while developing new pedagogical models and supervising the quality of learning.
