With the 2015 target date for the Millennium Development Goals and Education For All fast approaching, the issue of out-of-school children is more important than ever for countries in West and Central Africa. Since 2000, the number of out-of-school children was on a downward trend, however, since 2008 these figures have not moved; the burden for countries in the region has increased dramatically for they are now home to more than a third of the world’s out-of-school children. Based on the latest household surveys from 21 countries in the region, this study reports that there are nearly 32 million children of official school age who are not attending either primary or lower secondary school. A further 17 million school children who are at risk of dropping out could be added to this figure. These statistics, which show the magnitude of the situation, fail to take into account the hardships associated with this situation for families and the huge loss for the region and society as a whole. This study aims to shed some light on the scale and mechanisms of exclusion in the region, and to bring to the fore a number of tools and resources that are available to promote the educational inclusion of all children. To enable all children, even the most marginalized, to have access to basic quality education, we need to think creatively and make use of all the resources at our disposal. It is imperative that the fight against all forms of exclusion is coordinated and concerted. Indeed, without mass mobilization of all stakeholders and a comprehensive strategy, it will not be possible to effectively address all forms of school exclusion. However, only a truly inclusive education system has the capacity to build a knowledge-based society, which the region urgently needs for its future. The international community has a decisive role to play in supporting the efforts of these countries to develop an inclusive education system. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has a specific responsibility to encourage and help all children deprived of education. The main priority, in collaboration with all stakeholders, remains the enrolment of all out-of-school children as quickly as possible. There are just two years left for us to achieve the collective commitments to which we agreed in 2000; we must therefore have the strength and determination to take the most appropriate actions that will enable all children to fully exercise their right to a quality education.]]>

Alors que les engagements pris pour 2015 au travers de l’éducation pour tous et des OMD se rapprochent à très grand pas, la question des enfants non scolarisés reste plus que jamais d’actualité pour les pays de la région d’Afrique de l’Ouest et du Centre. Si depuis 2000, la tendance générale a été à la baisse du nombre d’enfants hors des écoles, ce chiffre ne diminue plus depuis 2008 et le poids des pays de la région a très nettement augmenté pour représenter actuellement plus du tiers des enfants non scolarisés dans monde. Sur la base des enquêtes ménages les plus récentes dans 21 pays de la région, cette étude rapporte que c’est près de 32 millions d’enfants qui ont l’âge officiel d’y être, mais qui ne sont scolarisés ni au primaire ni au premier cycle du secondaire. A ces chiffres, il faut ajouter 17 millions d’enfants scolarisés qui risquent fortement l’exclusion. Ces statistiques qui donnent l’ampleur de la tâche, peinent pourtant à rendre compte de la souffrance associée à cette situation pour les familles et de l’immense gâchis pour la région et l’humanité dans son ensemble. ]]>
