1 Introduction
Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 2 is meant to achieve Universal Primary
Education throughout the world by the 2015 deadline. In this brieng paper, we
review Mali's progress towards the achievement of MDG-2 over the 2000-2012
time-frame and compare its performance with that of Niger and Burkina Faso.
We start with a broad country overview before we move on to measure
achievement in terms of the ocial MDG indicators. In section 3 we introduce
some proxy indicators and disaggregated data as we review the key policies and
events that promoted or hindered progress towards the achievement of MDG-2.

1.1 A uniform comparison panel
Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso share similar agro-ecological, socio-economic and
cultural contexts:
A moderate exploitation of mineral resources and a rural economy domi-
nated by the agricultural sector
A landlocked position and a tight interconnection with neighboring coastal
countries, FewsNet (2013)
A shifting Sahelian climate forcing recurrent shocks on a rainfed domi-
nated agricultural sector, OECD (2006)
A young, growing, multi-ethnic and multi-lingual population with varying
degrees of receptiveness towards formal schooling, Meunier (1995), Kane
(1961)

1.2 Shocks and Trends
Beyond their structural similarities, the three countries experience both corre-
lated and uncorrelated shocks of similar nature:
4
Strongly Correlated Shocks Less Correlated Shocks
Inter-annual Rainfall Variations Internal Political Events
Force regular shocks on the agricultural
sector, the food security of the rural poor and
aect growth of the economy as a whole: most
of the correlated throughs of gure 1b
correspond to bad agricultural years.
Burkina Faso has been stable throughout the
last two decades, while Niger has experienced
recurrent political turmoil and Mali has been
mostly stable despite facing episodic rebellions
(2006, 2011) and political turmoil since 2012
(ICG,2014).
Linkage to Coastal Countries Market Fluctuations of Minerals
Shocks (political, economic) aecting Ivory
Coast have direct eects on Mali and Burkina
Faso
1
while Niger has a tighter connection
with Nigeria and Benin FewNet (2013)
Despite their modest role on the overall
economy, mineral resource exports (Gold for
Mali and Burkina, Uranium for Niger) have a
signicant impact on the state budget.
Still, the three countries have been following dierent growth trends, with
Burkina Faso averaging 2.76% growth and Niger 0.65% over the 2000-2012 anal-
ysis period.
1.3 Educational System
As pointed by Soba (2012) and Hazeman (1987), the three countries formal
education system was shaped by the common history of French colonization and
cooperation: French remains the dominant instruction language while schooling
curricula and cycles retain strong similarities.
Figure 2: Study Cycle Comparison chart by author, data from UNESCO, 2010
Even so, education is administered with dierent levels of centralization and
institutional specialization across the three countries, as discussed in section 3.

2 Ocial Targets and Progress Indicators
MDG-2 consists of the single target (2A) of ensuring that by 2015, all children
(boys and girls) will be able to complete a full course of primary schooling ,
UNSD (2012). This translates into clear goals for three indicators
2
:
Indicator Acronym Target Value
Net Enrollment Rate in Primary Education NER 100%
Survival Rate to Last Grade of Primary PSR 100%
Youth (15-24) Literacy YLR 100%
Table 1: MDG-2 Indicator Targets for the 2015 Deadline
As pointed by Easterly (2009) these goals also imply the ambition of perfect
gender parity (GPI=1) which is also part of the indicators for MDG-3 (Gender
Equality).
2.1 Net Enrollment Rate in Primary Education
The Net Enrollment Rate (NER(A))
3
measures the reach of the educational
system, an aspect on which all countries in the panel have made considerable
progress, as shown on gure 3.
Mali started with the highest NERA but its neighbors have progressed faster
and narrowed the enrollment gap. Niger achieved the strongest enrollment
growth in relative terms: its enrollment rate doubled (+127%), starting o
with a NERA 43% lower than that of Mali to only 13% by 2012.
2.1.1 Convergence to target
Despite their remarkable progress none of the three countries is on track to reach
100% NER by 2015. In table 2, we compare estimates for the mean NERA
4
growth over the analysis period with the growth that would have been required
to reach the 2015 target.
2
It should be noted that NER and SR of 100% are explicit goals (coming directly from the
denition of the goal) while a youth literacy rate (YLR) of 100% is an expectable outcome of
a perfectly functionning primary schooling system.
3
NER = ratio of the number of children of ocial primary school age who are enrolled in
primary education to the total population of children of ocial primary school age UNSD
(2012). NER does not account for children who may be enrolled early in primary education
or reach secondary education earlier. To compensate for that, an Adjusted Net Enrollment
Rate (NERA) can be dened and used in the monitoring of MDG-2, as per UNSD (2012).
We use NERA values instead of NER values in the rest of this document.

slope estimation techniques such as central or forward nite dierences and cubic polynomial
interpolation would provide for more advanced analyses, but would require smoother or more
frequently sampled datasets.

Burkina Faso was closest to meeting the deadline with a growth rate of 70%
of what was required to meet the 2015 deadline, and at this pace, it will reach
full enrollment in 2022.
2.1.2 Enrollment Parity
Gender parity remains a challenge with girls enrolling less than boys. Mali
started with a better GPI than it's neighbors but has now been overtaken by
Burkina Faso.
Mali and Burkina are increasing enrollment faster for girls than boys (in
absolute terms) while Niger's NERA is growing at the same pace (2.8%) for
girls and boys alike
5
, as shown in table 3.
Burkina Faso has the most consistent NERA growth in terms of gender, and
5
even so, Niger's GPI on NERA is improving be causing girls started from a much lower
NERA (22.6%) than boys (33.0%) in 2000

6
, shortly before that of boys (2022).
Unless measures in favor of girls enrollment are taken, Mali and Niger will only
reach full girls enrollment 3 and 4 years later (respectively) than for boys, further
delaying the full enrollment target.
2.2 Survival rate to last grade of primary
Enrollment gures provided an indication of the education system's ability to
reach all children in the country, but did not provide any information as to
whether these children actually complete a full cycle of primary schooling. The
Survival Rate
7
is a measure of the educational system's ability to avoid early
drop-out and ensure reasonable promotion rates. In a sense, even though it does
not deal directly with educational outcomes, Survival Rate can be interpreted
as a measure of the educational system's quality
8
.
As pointed by Lewin, 2009, increases in enrollment often pair with survival
rate decreases as attrition increases. It is therefore worth stressing that all three
countries have succeeded in keeping survival rates nearly constant
9
despite the
massive increases in enrollment discussed in section 2.1.
Gender disparities in survival rate are lower than in enrollment, prompting
good hopes that once girls are enrolled into school they get similar chances as
boys. In Burkina Faso the Survival Rate GPI is even slightly above 1, indicating
6
If growth continues at the same average pace! These simple estimations come from the
extrapolation of the linear regression lines to look for their intersects with the target line. More
sophisticated and accurate methods for making predictions exist but would not t within this
assignment.
7
The survival rate, PSR, is dened as the proportion of pupils starting grade 1 who reach
last grade of primary, UNSD (2012)
8
A high survival rate only means that children entering school stay (or leave and return)
there and are promoted to the next grade, not that they have actually achieved the proposed
educational goals. Still, high survival rates are usually associated with an eective and ecient
system.
9
Even with a slight improvement trend for Burkina Faso! Still, attrition was and remains
excessively high in all three panel counties as can be readily observed from CSGER curves
(not shown in report).

2.3 Youth literacy rate
The Youth (15-24) Literacy Rate YLR focuses on the outcomes of the educa-
tional system. While NERA and PSR characterized the educational system's
reach and internal eciency, YLR focuses on the educational system's eec-
tiveness to realize educational goals
11
. Literacy is a very powerful measure
of an educational system quality, but unfortunately, YLR data is scarce and
irregularly sampled :
Literacy is usually assessed from self declaration and it denition may
10
There are many possible explanations for this phenomenon:
In average, girls that get into school may come from wealthier backgrounds than boys,
and this trend might be reduced as enrollment increases (girls still enroll less than boys
and enrollment inequality is greatest in in poor, rural areas).
Another possible explanation for this trend may lie in the greater opportunity costs
of keeping boys in school, specially considering that Burkina Faso has the highest
correlation between wealth and access to education of all panel countries (see gure 6)
11
Literacy usually includes numeracy and is usually regarded as the fundamental goal of a
primary education system. The Education Orientation Laws of Mali (LOEM, 1999), Niger
(LOSEN, 1998) and Burkina Faso (LOEB, 2002) stress the importance of literacy and numer-
acy alongside with moral (e.g. patriotism, tolerance) and personal development goals (e.g.
creativity, self-esteem).

The key YLR data collection events are large scale population and housing
censuses taking place many years apart from each other
12
, UNSD (2012)
As expected, the data presents inconsistencies, like the 2005 peak
13
in Niger's
YLR, observed on gure 5.
While Mali seems to be progressing faster than its neighbors on this indica-
tor, it would be necessary to have updated data from Burkina Faso to draw any
meaningful conclusions
14
. Gender asymmetries in literacy remain much higher
than in enrollment and no clear improvement trend could be observed yet.
12
Large scale censuses are conducted at the national level about every ten years in panel
countries (e.g. RGPH 1998 and 2009 for Mali, RGPH 1996 and 2006 for Burkina Faso).
Individual censuses are usually regarded as reliable both by donors and the population, but
due to the low sampling frequency, census teams and methods often change between censuses,
thereby hindering trend estimation (source: author's private communications with Malian
mayors).
13
The 2005 adult (15+) literacy rate (not shown here) exhibited the same (proportional)
peak over the three available data points, even though the adult literacy rate should be
moving much slower than the you literacy rate (the 15-24 group is smaller and more exposed
to education than the 15+ group, so it should react much faster in the absence of massive
adult literacy programs!). Furthermore, it that almost a quarter of all literate adults would
forget how to read and write between 2005 and 2012 , which is highly unlikely specially
considering that the literacy rate of the elderly (group with highest relative mortality of the
15+ population) is particularly small!
14
Which would be particularly interesting considering that Burkina Faso was improving
faster than Mali on the two other indicators.

3 Challenges and success drivers
3.1 Governance and Policies
3.1.1 Decentralization
Mali has been pursuing broad decentralization policies since the advent of demo-
cratic rule in March 1991, Ba (2006). These policies were implemented in the
administration of education through the Education Law of 1999, LOEM (1999).
Following a dierent approach, Burkina Faso has segmented the administra-
tion of education through dierent, centralized ministries for each cycle (pre-
primary, primary and secondary) until the advent of the new education law in
2006, LOEB (2006) which granted some additional autonomy to local actors in
what remains a fundamentally centralized system.
The impact of Mali's decentralization policies remains to be evaluated, with
some academics raising concerns that decentralization sustained neo-patronization
dynamics and lowered the quality of education, Soba (2012).
3.1.2 Financial Barriers
Mali ocially abolished schooling fees in 1991 in what was then a major symbolic
measure of the new democratic regime. Still Pearce, Fourmy & Kovach (2009),
argue that the transfer of responsibilities from the Central Malian state to local
authorities and communities and has re-established indirect schooling fees. They
further argue that nancial barriers remain a cause of concern for most of the
poor in Mali, which is consistent with gure 6 exhibiting the strong correlation
between income and access to education.
Moving the opposite direction, Burkina Faso started enacting the abolition
of schooling fees and compulsory education progressively and on a regional basis,
through the Education Law of 2006, and subsequent decrees
15
, MENA (2012).
This policy seems meaningful considering that wealth is a stronger access de-
terminant in Burkina Faso than Mali and Niger.
Still, as argued by Lewin (2009), the impact of location (rural or urban) on
access to education should not be overlooked. Indeed the rural urban fracture
seems to be an even stronger than wealth as a determinant of access to education.
3.1.3 Involving Civil Society
Despite their shortcomings, decentralization policies have generally been per-
ceived as a powerful tool to involve civil society, both through prot and non-
prot actors:
Schooling infrastructure was transfered to municipal authorities, in an
attempt to boost nancing of school building construction and mainte-
nance through tripartite Community-Municipality-NGO/Donor partner-
ships, Soba (2012)
15
Decrees, such as MENA, 2012, regularly declare new sets of municipalities where the new
education law, LOEB, 2006 becomes applicable.

It is therefore no surprise that Mali has a higher proportion of private education
enrollment (about 39%)
17
than its neighbors (Burkina Faso with 14% and Niger
with 4%). Data on private sector education quality is lacking.
3.2 Physical and Human Investment
3.2.1 Infrastructure
Burkinab schools have the highest equipment levels, as shown on gure 7. It
is tempting to relate Burkina Faso's better schooling infrastructure with its
remarkable progress on gender parity:
16
This armation stems the authors private communications with :Mr. Sangar, owner of
the CFI Torokorobougou vocational school in Bamako and Dr. Guindo, head of Mali's private
catholic education network.
17
These gures also account for the traditional medersa system that is partially supervised
by the state, in accordance with Malian Education Law of 1999, LOEM (1999).

The availability of potable water in school facilities can help release girls
from domestic tasks
Still, other factors may come also into play, rooted in cultural beliefs and each
country's political history
19
.
3.2.2 Teaching Sta and Practices
Despite similar enrollment trends, panel countries are experiencing dierent
workforce growth trends. Pearce, Fourmy & Kovach (2009) suggest that Mali
is not training enough teacher's to respond to current and expected enrollment
growth.
As shown on gure 8, the percentage of trained primary school teacher's is
much smaller in Mali (52%) than Niger (96%) or Burkina Faso (91%). Fur-
thermore, newly recruited teachers are generally less trained than the current
workforce in all panel countries
20
except for Burkina Faso (100%).
Multi-grade classes are most common in Mali, even though these encompass
only a small share of all enrolled children. Pupil/Textbook ratios are large
21
and similar across all three countries.
18
Many West African girls and boys nish their primary schooling at the beginning of
puberty
19
Three historical/social aspects may come into play to explain Burkina Faso's greater
gender parity:
Former president Thomas Sankara conducted a series of public interventions in favor
of women's emancipation during the 1980s
Burkina Faso has a slightly dierent religious mix than its neighbors (specially in the
South of the country)
In Mali and Niger, some parts of society tend to reject formal education as a byproduct
of colonial history, Meunier (1995), Kane (1961), Hazemann (1987)
20
Indicating a degradation trend in teacher training ratio's unless on-the-job training policies
are put into practice in the short term.

3.3 Mitigating Shocks
Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso are exposed to regular food security and political
shocks. Because these events have deep impacts on the livelihoods of the poor,
they also aect school attendance and completion rates in a variety of ways
22
.
We believe that the ways in which countries deal with recurrent crises is also
part of their global strategy towards the MDGs. And, as such propose to end
this section with a short case study on Mali's last crisis and its potential impact
on long term education trends.
The 2011 Malian Crisis: a case study
The dip in Mali's NER between 2011 and 2012 can be attributed to the com-
bined eect of a bad agricultural season, a political crisis and a conict that lead
to large refugee movements and income disruptions
23
, aecting 500000 children
and putting 100000 in risk of leaving school, UNOCHA (2012). Furthermore,
22
For example: reinforcing nancial barriers, displacing populations or causing interruptions
in public education services.
23
Mali has been exposed to recurrent small scale conicts in the north of its territory. Even
so, the last northern crisis was unprecedented in its magnitude and triggered a political crisis
in the south of the country (where most of the population lives), opening the way for a coup
d'Etat in March 2012 and the installation of radical islamist groups in the North of the country.
A UN approved intervention lead by France since January 2013 has attempted to restore the
Malian state authority on most of the territory and promoted new democratic elections.
14
extremist movements forbade mixed classroom's or even school attendance dur-
ing several months in some areas under their control, ICG (2012).
Mali has developed a set of mitigation approaches with the support of inter-
national agencies, through the UNOCHA Education Cluster, jointly managed
by Mali's Ministry of Education and UNICEF. These consisted mostly of the
organization of additional examination venues for displaced children, teacher
redeployment and the creation of a temporary school reinsertion tracks tailored
for displaced children, UNOCHA (2012).
Despite these eorts, the political situation remains volatile and many schools
have yet to open again in the northern part of the country, UNOCHA (2014).
As such, it is not yet clear as to whether the current crisis will aect Mali's long
term progress trends towards the Universal Primary Education goal.
15
4 Final Note
Despite massive increases in enrollment, Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso will not
reach the Universal Primary Education goal by 2015. Still, these countries have
achieved considerable progress: survival rates did not degrade signicantly while
massifying education and softening gender disparities.
In 2000, Mali started from a better position to achieve the MDGs than Niger
or Burkina Faso, but it had the slowest progression of the three countries in our
panel during the 2000-2012 analysis period. Niger had the greatest relative
increases in enrollment but remains the country with the lowest enrollment and
survival rates. Burkina Faso stands out for its achievements towards parity, well
equipped school infrastructure and improving teacher training trends.
Literacy rate data and system quality indicators are sparse, but declining
teacher training trends in Mali and Niger may hint towards a degradation of
the educational system's quality.
As a nal note we recall the concerns of Duo (2010) on the possibility
that massication of education comes at the expense of quality, to call for a
greater investigation of education quality trends in Mali, Niger and Burkina
Faso. Indeed, if it was conrmed, declining quality could curb demand for
schooling and hinder long term education growth trends.
