Education

Sector Briefing

Over the years, low public investment in education, poor quality of delivery, poor infrastructure and lack of educational facilities has led to a system that is characterized by low enrolment, high teachers and students absenteeism, increased dropout rate, lack of schools and little or no engagement of the communities in the affairs of the schools.

BRSP’s programmatic aim for the promotion of basic education is based on the belief that education is a fundamental solution to address poverty.
