Senegal educational reform advocacy

Overview

The Coalition of Organizations in Synergy for the Defense of Public Education (COSYDEP) has advocated for significant structural reforms to Senegal’s educational system. Initially, the coalition called for a renovation of the national educational normative framework, specifically targeting mandatory schooling, the adoption of a Child Code, and the modernization of the 1991 education orientation law to address digital technology and climate change.

Following these calls for reform, COSYDEP released an analysis of the 2026 school year exam results. While noting increased success rates in the CFEE, BFEM, and Baccalauréat, the organization identified a critical imbalance in student orientation, with literary tracks accounting for 82.9% of Baccalauréat candidates compared to only 15.5% in scientific and technical tracks. To address these issues, COSYDEP recommended digitalizing procedures, improving assessments, and revising the orientation law to better meet national demands for technical skills.
