In N'Djamena, Chad, a workshop concluded with recommendations for improving education through decentralization, focusing on governance, funding, and teacher management.
Participants discussed challenges facing Chad’s education system and proposed changes to address both long-term and immediate problems.

The group also focused on teachers, recommending better distribution based on school needs, ongoing training, and incentives for working in challenging locations.
They proposed a plan to gradually replace community teachers with qualified, integrated educators through recruitment and training. Beyond teacher management, recommendations included improving learning quality, supporting bilingual education in French, Arabic, and local languages, expanding science and technical education, and accelerating digital transformation within the education system. Minister of National Education, Bilingualism and Civic Promotion, Dr Mahamat-Ahmad Alhabo, committed to implementing the workshop’s recommendations.
