Education Indicators in Comoros Are Declining

The education sector in Comoros has been suffering from some challenges since 2011, as decentralization has exacerbated many problems, due to the general shortage of facilities, equipment, and qualified teachers, who refuse to work due to delays in their salaries.

About 64% of the students in Comoros are enrolled in primary education, but it is noticeable that 14% of young people have not completed their primary education. The literacy rate has reached 58% among male adults in Comoros compared to 52% among women.

In this context, NGOs Major Group for Africa appreciates the commendable efforts made by the government in Comoros to improve education rates, but it wishes to draw the government’s attention to increase national programs that aiming at increasing the number of learners and eradicating illiteracy.

Besides, it calls on civil society organizations to work actively to educate girls about their right to education.
