PROBLEMS OF PRE-SCHOOL EDUCATION IN AFRICA
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
Let us point out what L? is education a basic right of L? human being. D tallies it? was action world to meet the fundamental educational needs adopted since 1990, at the time of the world conference on L? education for all; who saw the presence of 155 representatives of governments.
At the end of was this conference, it noted that more than 100 million D? children, including at least 60 million girls N? access does not have has L? does primary education teaching, even less have L? pre-school education. (World Declaration of L? education for all, 1990).
With that S? the fact adds that more than 100 million D? children and D? innumerable adults N? do not complete the basic educational cycle, million D? do others continue it jusqu? at the end, without acquiring the level of knowledge and essential competence.

Thus, L? UNESCO, with leaving the last conference on L? education in Dakar in 2000, S? is engaged to carry out the last combat of the finishing century, while making jump all the bolts which still block L? access to L? education to hundreds of million D? children in the world. At the time of did this conference, 164 countries decide to take measures so D? to eliminate L? does variation of schooling enter the children and to arrive has L? does equality enter the girls and boys D? here 2015.
Results of the assessment of L? Education For All with L? were year 2000 used as starting point with the redefinition of the future strategies of the movement of L? education for all. The world forum on L? did education adopt the framework D? action of Dakar, heading “L? education for all: to keep to our collective commitments”. This framework urges all the governments to guarantee, with all, a basic education of quality D? here at 2015, in particular with the girls, and S? accompany by the solemn promise, the countries and organizations financial backers. This framework also wants qu? no country which pledged serious in favour of L? basic education does not see its efforts constrained by the lack of resources.

Vis-a-vis the challenges of the 21st century, the framework D? does action of Dakar underline qu? it is essential D? to bring an education of quality and D? to reach all those which remain excluded from L? education: hard-working girls, children, ethnic children of minorities and ravaged children by violence, the conflicts, the handicaps and the HIV /SIDA.

However, according to Carol Bellanny, general Director of L? Will UNICEF, it be necessary to admit that to provide education for the 5 to 30% D? still excluded children, one will undoubtedly need approaches more innovating and more expensive, than for the 70 to 95% already provided education for. Does this remark show the possibility for qu? it remains still much to make for redynamiser L? education.

L? UNESCO, through its publication “policies of L? education and of the formation in sub-Saharan Africa; did problems, orientations and prospects” put forward the problems which block the education systems in particular in Africa and in the whole world D? a general manner.

In India, planning and the setting in? uvre of L? Did education for All profit from the support D? an amendment with the constitution, proclaiming the basic right to L? education. Did the central government adopt the objectives D? EPT (access for all the children to 8 years to L? basic education of quality D? here 2010) and is a particular importance attached to L? education of the early childhood.
Moreover, the report/ratio on L? does education in the world (1993), reveal qu? in Latin America 50% only of those which reach to L? primary education teaching finish the cycle of it.

On the other hand in South Asia, one notes for the same target 50%, 69% in the Arab states and in North America 85%, in Far East and 67% in Africa in the south of the Sahara (SHEIK FOAMED DIOP, 2005).
Do these statistics reveal the various dysfunctions which gangrènent the sector of L? education in the world, especially on the level of the pre-school one.

In Africa, this sector is confronted with several obstacles, in spite of the posted will of the governments. Problems involved in poverty with the lack D? infrastructures, while passing by the economic crisis and the strong demographic growth. It S? y adds that the African countries are, in their majority, confronted with the problem of the training of the teachers and especially that of the teachers of the pre-school one.
In truth, fast growth of the African population which passed from 222 million in 1950 to nearly 900 million in L? year 2000, with 46% which have less than fifteen years (CREATED, 2002); D represents as much? additional manpower for which, it is necessary to give a training and an education.

C? is thus qu? in Coast D? Does ivory, one attend the installation D? a device of technical and vocational training diversified: teaching, center of vocational training and center of improvement. (SHEIK FOAMED DIOP, 2005).

At is Cameroun, the education system placed, depuis1984, under the sign of the quality assurance of L? education. The three types D? education targeted are as follows: the pre-school one and the primary education, L? secondary education general, L? teaching technical and professional, which all is managed by L? National education (ibid)

In Burkina Faso, the decennial plan D? basic education adoptee in 1999 was altered to include in a more precise way the objectives of Dakar.
This country intends to use the schools more effectively to increase quality and the chances D? access (in term D? lesson, of handbooks, etc)

In Senegal, L? education and the formation, which are important stakes in any process of development, constitutes, in this respect, a priority of the government which devotes 40% of the budget of L to it? State. C? is why, the policy, from now on application in the sector is centered on the reinforcement of the system in priority of L? basic education, of L? technical teaching and of the vocational training. A Decennial Program of L? Will education and of Formation (PDEF), articulated in three phases be L? instrument of realization. This program constitutes the framework of consistency of L? together activities developed in the sector.

However, L? education of early childhood N? y is not in remainder, with the creation of the box of the small touts-; even if, staff training D? framing revêt still some insufficiencies.

It is also to note qu? in Senegal, the early childhood (0-6ans), accounts for 26% of manpower of the population. That is due to a strong fruitfulness and the considerable fall of infanto-youthful mortality. (ROKHY DIA, 2007).

L? total staff complement of this class D? was age estimated at 2 million in L? year 2000, including 850000 children having reached L? age D? to be allowed in a pre-school establishment (3 - 6ans) (JICA, 2004). In L? year 2000, only 2,7% of the children are collected in the establishments of pre-school (ibid).

Taking into consideration these statistics is, the report qu? in Africa, approximately, 40 million D? aren't old children of 6 with 11ans provided education for, more than 100 million D? provided education for children receive an education of bad quality. Moreover, between 20 and 29% of those which are to L? are school redoubling and numbers it which gives up L? school is in increase.

Ultimately, it would have to be retained that L? education, especially on the level of the pre-school one in considerable African countries is in crisis. It is necessary to act!
