Benin launches major education initiative

The government of Benin has introduced free schooling for girls, aiming to boost their enrollment and ensure they receive a quality education. This effort is part of a broader strategy to encourage active participation in the country’s development.

On July 24, the Council of Ministers approved the National Program for Accelerating the Education and Well-being of Girls in Benin. This five-year program requires an investment of CFA94 billion ($155.8 million) and aims to “improve the skills of young girls for their empowerment, particularly those who are out of school, have dropped out, or come from vulnerable households,” according to the Council’s final statement.
