| Major achievements so far
Since
its creation in 2003, CNEPT engages civil society
into strengthening its role and its contribution
to the design of policies, and the formulation
and monitoring of the National action Plan for
Education for All (PNEPT) towards 2015. To this
end, several activities are undertaken:
·
Capacity building programmes for the members on
education policies, curricula, advocacy, the rights
of the child, integrated education, planning,
project management and ITC.
·
Drawing up of an “Exclusion map”, which helped
the State authorities to re-orientate and redistribute
the recruitment quotas based on the priority zones
identified (Saint Louis region, Fatick region,
Matam region and the suburbs of Dakar).
·
Participation in six annual global campaigns on
Education for All, from 2003 to 2008.
·
Participation in 2 national forums on Education
in 2005 and 2006. These events represent an opportunity
for a constructive dialogue between the various
stakeholders.
·
Numerous advocacy actions on integrated education,
effective parity in primary and secondary education,
and maintaining girls at school. These advocacy
campaigns contributed to raise awareness on those
who are excluded from the education system in
several regions of Senegal. For instance, the
Fatick region experienced a significant rise in
girls’ attendance in primary school. |
