Some key performance indicators in Niger
Education
Skills evaluation of children from Niger who reach the
end of primary school has shown that one out of four do not have the required level in French
and Mathematics.
Structural challenges like the lack of course material and overcrowded
classrooms (teacher to student ratio 1:40) explain this low literacy rate and
the significant decrease of school enrolment.
Telecommunication
Even though, mobile penetration rate is quite good, the quality of the bandwidth is still
an issue for Niger’s citizens.
Therefore, accessing learning platforms which generally use lot of bandwidth is difficult for the
end users.
Our organization will take those difficulties into consideration by providing offline ressources.
