Announcements
The new publication "Abolishing school fees in Africa - lessons from Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, and Mozambique" is a flagship report produced by the School Fee Abolition Initiative (SFAI) and funded among others by FTI's Education Program Development Fund. The initiative, launched in 2005 by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the World Bank, was designed to support countries in maintaining and accelerating progress toward universal primary education as outlined in the Millennium Development Goals and the Education for All (EFA) goals. Specifically, SFAI strengthens country efforts to eliminate school fees and/or implement targeted exemptions, subsidization, and incentives to reduce education costs for the poor. An operational guide entitled "Six steps to abolishing primary schools fees" for practitioners in international education is now available on this website (see left column). |
