The Senegalese education system is based on its French equivalent. The state is responsible for the creation of an educational system that enables every citizen access to education.〔United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization. International Bureau of Education. ("World Data on Education, Senegal" ). UNESCO-IBE, 2010. Web.〕 Articles 21 and 22 of the Constitution adopted in January 2001 guarantee access to education for all children.〔"Senegal". (''2005 Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor'' ). Bureau of International Labor Affairs, U.S. Department of Labor (2006). ''This article incorporates text from this source, which is in the public domain.〕〔(Constitution du Sénégal, Titre II : Des libertés publiques et de la personne humaine, des droits économiques et sociaux et des droits collectifs ) (in French)〕 However, due to limited resources and low demand for secular education in areas where Islamic education is more prevalent, the law is not fully enforced.〔 == Primary and secondary education == Determined on February 16, 1991, official law n° 91-22 states three main objectives concerning Senegalese education. * Firstly the educational system should create conditions that enable development within the entire nation, by creating capable men and women who can work efficiently to improve their nation, and who have a specific interest in Senegal’s economic, social and cultural development.〔 * Secondly the educational system should promote Senegal’s values: liberty, democracy, personal and civic morality, human rights, and the upholding of Senegalese society’s laws and regulations.〔 * Lastly the educational system should enhance the nation’s culture by creating men and women who actively participate in national activities, who possess the ability to effectively reflect on problems, and who can contribute to the advancement of science.〔 Education is compulsory and free up to the age of 16. In 2002, the gross primary enrolment rate was 80%, and the net primary enrolment rate was 67.6%. Gross and net enrolment rates are based on the number of students formally registered in primary school and therefore do not necessarily reflect attendance. In 2000, 41.2% of children ages 5 to 14 years were attending school. Primary school attendance statistics are not available for Senegal. As of 2001, 80% of children who started primary school were likely to reach grade 5.〔 The Ministry of Labor has indicated that the public school system is unable to cope with the number of children that must enroll each year. As a result, many school-age children seek education and training through more informal means. A large number apprentice themselves to a shop, where they receive no wages. One government official estimated there are 100,000 children apprenticed in Dakar. The Agence Nationale de la Statistique et de la Démographie (ANSD) reports that, as of 2001, 32.7% of children age 10–14 had begun their professional lives.〔 In 2000 Senegalese governments and authorities set out to make revision to the educational system. Senegal’s Ten-Year Education and Training Program (PDEF) facilitated this reform in the United Nations special initiatives for Africa. In 2000 Senegal published an announcement stating the country’s education goals for the 2000-2010 decade. The reform was composed of several goals. Firstly, increasing access to education throughout the country.〔Republique du Senegal. Ministere de L'Education. ("Le developpement de l’education: Rapport National du Sénégal" ). Jomtien, Dakar: La Direction de la Planification et de la Réforme de l’Education, 2004. Web.〕 Secondly, the creation of an educational system that was pertinent to all classes of Senegalese people.〔 Thirdly the creation/revision of an effective relationship between politics and education.〔 Lastly the reorganization of resource acquisition and use.〔 The government’s 2010 goal was the actualization of a nationally cohesive education system.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Education in Senegal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
