While enrollment has improved, learning outcomes and skill development remain major challenges.

• National data show incomplete monitoring of proficiency in reading and mathematics, indicating ongoing gaps in education quality.

• Research demonstrates that youth—especially young women—benefit greatly from well-designed vocational and entrepreneurship training programs.

Why this matters:
Without strong foundational learning and practical skills, many young people struggle to enter stable employment, leading to high rates of underemployment and informal work.
