Access to education in Haiti is challenged by the lack of public provision: 80% of primary schools are non-public, and the cost of education poses a barrier for many families.
In recent years, unrest and gang violence have led to frequent and prolonged school closures, insecurity and population displacement. Additionally, high grade repetition and school dropout rates signal a need for large-scale and sustainable change.
The government aims to transform the education system with a new curriculum that organizes learning paths to ensure all students acquire the knowledge and skills needed to thrive, and promotes a societal vision that is inclusive, equitable and egalitarian.
Haiti's Partnership Compact marks the alignment of partners and resources with the national priority to ensure curriculum reform to guarantee the continuity of inclusive and quality education.
The reform extends from preschool to secondary education. One of its key outcomes is to embed the use of Creole language into instruction in the early grades to reduce learning gaps and ensure equity in learning outcomes. It will also strengthen teacher and management capacities.
In Haiti's context of high fragility and violence, the reform includes activities to ensure learning continuity and children's well-being, including non-formal education programs, school feeding and psychosocial support.
