Education for all, education for whom, education for what? Lessons from Mali
2013
Bleck, Jaimie | Guindo, Boubacar Mody
This article introduces new data from Mali, including surveys of 200 university students and 1,000 citizens and interviews with 30 educational professionals, to emphasise Malian perceptions of the post-democratic educational expansion. It complements interviews with data on passage rates and curriculum from the Ministry of Education. Despite marked increases in enrollment, Malian respondents describe three major concerns about the “educational crisis”: educational quality, private/public stratification, and the ambiguous goals of education. The article raises general concerns over the reliance on narrow quantitative indicators, and underscores the need to incorporate local stakeholder voices and perspective in educational reform.
