The Senegalese government has outlined a series of national priorities focused on education reform and youth employment for the 2026-2027 period. President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has emphasized stabilizing school reopenings through teacher recruitment, classroom construction, and digital integration, including a plan to connect 6,888 schools to high-speed internet.

To support these educational goals and address labor market needs, the Fonds de Financement de la Formation professionnelle et technique (3FPT) launched an online campaign to provide 5,000 vocational training vouchers. This initiative covers 90% of training costs for diploma-granting courses, aiming to improve qualifications and economic integration for Senegalese youth.
