Navigating Educational Challenges for a Brighter Future
Cape Verde, an archipelago nation, has made commendable strides in education but continues to grapple with issues related to student retention and employment readiness.
High School and University Dropout Rates
Despite a high gross primary enrollment rate of 148.8% in 1997, challenges persist at higher educational levels. Economic constraints and limited access to secondary and tertiary institutions contribute to dropout rates. The need for students to contribute to household incomes often supersedes educational pursuits.
Barriers to Employment
Graduates face hurdles in entering the job market due to a lack of practical experience and skills misalignment with industry demands. The scarcity of industries on the islands limits employment opportunities, compelling many to seek work abroad.
Strategies for Improvement
To enhance educational outcomes and employment prospects, Cape Verde can consider:
- Expanding Access: Increase the number of secondary and tertiary institutions, especially in underserved areas.
- Curriculum Enhancement: Focus on STEM education and digital literacy to prepare students for global opportunities.
- Scholarship Programs: Provide financial assistance to students from low-income families to reduce dropout rates.
- International Collaboration: Partner with foreign institutions to offer exchange programs and exposure to diverse learning environments.
