This book aims to promote a better understanding of the education policy choices and implementation modalities that have enabled many East Asian countries over the last 30-40 years to move from education and economic conditions similar to those of many Sub-Saharan Africa countries to attain the level of development they enjoy today.

Even as countries in Sub-Saharan Africa work towards achieving better learning outcomes for children through systemic reform, the affordability and availability of textbooks remains a persistent challenge. Yet despite extensive technical support and funding from external development partners, including the World Bank, making textbooks affordable and available to teachers and students remains an elusive objective for most countries in the region. Most African countries experience low learning outcomes and high drop-out rates. Only two-thirds of those who enter school reach the final grade, and only about half of these master basic numeracy and literacy skills. There is wide agreement that availability of textbooks is both an indispensable and a cost-effective way of improving the quality of the learning process. Getting Textbooks to Every Child in Sub-Saharan Africa: Strategies for Addressing the High Cost and Low Availability Problem offers policy options that can help reduce textbook costs and increase their supply. The book explores, in depth, the cost and financial barriers that restrict textbook availability in schools across much of the region, as well as policies successfully adapted in other countries. The book also provides a thorough assessment of the pros and cons of digital teaching and learning materials and cautions against the assumption that they can immediately replace printed textbooks. Aimed at generating discussion among policy makers, development partners, and other stakeholders in Africa, Getting Textbooks to Every Child in Sub-Saharan Africa: Strategies for Addressing the High Cost and Low Availability Problem offers information and analysis that is both practical and relevant.

Alors meme que les pays d'Afrique subsaharienne poursuivent leurs efforts pour ameliorer les acquis scolaires de leurs enfants en reformant leur systeme educatif, l'accessibilite financiere et la disponibilite des manuels continuent de poser de veritables defis. Mais, malgre l'importance du soutien technique et du financement apportes par les partenaires, dont la Banque mondiale, l'accessibilite financiere et la disponibilite des manuels restent un objectif difficile a atteindre dans la majorite des pays, tant pour les enseignants que pour les eleves. La plupart des pays africains sont confrontes a de faibles acquis scolaires et de forts taux d'abandon. Deux tiers seulement des enfants scolarises achevent leurs etudes et environ la moitie d'entre eux possedent des competences de base en calcul et en lecture. Les manuels scolaires sont generalement consideres comme un moyen indispensable et economique d'ameliorer la qualite de l'apprentissage. Fournir des manuels scolaires a tous les enfants d'Afrique subsaharienne : strategies de lutte contre leur cherte et leur faible disponibilite propose des mesures susceptibles de reduire les couts des manuels et d'augmenter leur disponibilite. Le present ouvrage examine en detail les couts et les obstacles financiers entravant la disponibilite des manuels dans les ecoles d'une grande partie de la region, ainsi que les mesures adoptees avec succes dans d'autres pays. Il fournit egalement une evaluation rigoureuse des avantages et inconvenients des materiels pedagogiques numeriques et appelle a la prudence quant a l'idee qu'ils peuvent immediatement remplacer les manuels imprimes. Concu pour susciter un debat entre responsables de l'action publique, partenaires de developpement et autres parties prenantes d'Afrique, Fournir des manuels scolaires a tous les enfants d'Afrique subsaharienne : strategies de lutte contre leur cherte et leur faible disponibilite fournit des informations et une analyse a la fois pratiques et pertinentes.
