Grade 8 Min Many children attending primary school are outside of the official age range. This is reflected in the Max difference between net and gross attendance rates. This can have tremendous impact on the educational infrastructure, the experience in the classroom, and educational planning. The net attendance ratio (NAR) is the percentage of the official primary school-age population that attends primary school. The gross attendance ratio (GAR) is the total number of students attending primary school - regardless of age - expressed as a percentage of the official primary school-age population. Over-Age, Under-Age, and On-Time Students in Primary School, Guinea Only about 21% of primary school students are in the appropriate grade for their age; the on-time proportion declines in the higher grades. 51% of the male primary school Over Age On Time Under Age students and 49% of the female 100% students are over-age. 80% The percentage of males who are over- 60% age ranges from 32% to 67%.

The Implications of Over-Age/Under-Age Students For the system: Both late entry into primary school and grade repetition can cause children to be over-age for 7 their grade. High repetition rates indicate inefficiency in the education system. In the classroom: Large numbers of over-age students present a challenge for teachers who must teach a more diverse group with differing levels of maturity and school preparedness. Students are considered to be on time if they are at the official age for the grade; over age if they are one or more years older; and under age if they are one or more years younger. Primary School Net Attendance Rate in Urban and Rural Areas, Guinea Primary School Net Attendance Rate Children in urban areas are almost 100 81 76 twice as likely to attend school than 80 72 children in rural areas. 60 Female 48 43 % 39 Male 40 Both In urban areas, 76% of children of 20 primary school age attend school, 10 compared to 43% in rural areas. 0 Urban Rural Source: Demographic and Health Survey, 2005 In both urban and rural areas boys are more likely to attend school than girls.

  • Guinea: Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper
    REPUBLIC OF GUINEA Work – Justice – Solidarity Ministry of the Economy, Finances and Planning Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper PRSP–2 (2007–2010) Conakry, August 2007 Permanent Secretariat for the Poverty Reduction Strategy (SP-SRP) Website: www.srp-guinee.org.Telephone: (00224) 30 43 10 80. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This document is the fruit of a collective effort that has involved many development stakeholders: executives of regionalized and decentralized structures, civil society organizations, development partners, etc. Warm thanks to all of them. The government would particularly like to acknowledge the grassroots organizations and civil society actors who, despite the difficulties that affected the implementation of the PRSP-I, have renewed their confidence in its action. The lessons learned from the implementation of the PRSP-I have helped in the design and preparation of the document. For this, the government again thanks the development partners who have accompanied it in this exercise and provided technical and financial contributions (EU, GTZ, SCAC, Canadian Cooperation), as well as the team of national experts who carried out field work with dedication and professionalism. Furthermore, without the painstaking work carried out in 2005 and 2006 as part of the process of refining the regional PRSPs, it certainly would not have been possible to prepare this document. The same is true of the work done, mainly in 2006, to evaluate needs aimed at reaching the MDGs. In this regard, we thank the United Nations System, and in particular the UNDP, for its exceptional contribution. Finally, the government extends its most sincere thanks to all those, both named and unnamed, who participated in this collective work.

  • Bauxite Mining in the Boké Region (Western Guinea): Method Used and Impacts on Physical Environment
    European Journal of Sustainable Development Research 2019, 3(3), em0087 ISSN: 2542-4742 Bauxite Mining in the Boké Region (Western Guinea): Method Used and Impacts on Physical Environment Souare Sidiki 1* 1 Gamal Abdel Nasser, University of Conakry, GUINEA *Corresponding Author: [email protected] Citation: Sidiki, S. (2019). Bauxite Mining in the Boké Region (Western Guinea): Method Used and Impacts on Physical Environment. European Journal of Sustainable Development Research, 3(3), em0087. https://doi.org/10.29333/ejosdr/5735 Published: March 21, 2019 ABSTRACT This study assesses the environmental impact of bauxite mining and the attempts at managing those impacts around the three different bauxite mining communities “zones” (Sangarédi, Boké, Fria) in the western Guinea. Mining sector is important to the country’s economy; it represents 75 to 85% of resources exports by year, especially bauxite and figures prominently in the government's development priorities, evidenced by the broad movement of reforms undertaken by the authorities since 2010. In this context, these reforms aim both to minimize the risks while maximizing the benefits of the mining activity. This implies among other things, a better distribution of income from the mine, strict compliance with environmental standards, to record activity in a sustainable development perspective. To better understand these reforms and scope, this research evaluates the existing framework and innovations of the new reforms in the context of sustainable development. The researcher conducted a data collection, a series of interviews with resource persons (The local communities, the Ministry of Mines, mining companies and NGOs working in the mining sector), to analyze the Environmental and Socio-economic impact of mine.

Initially confined to the forest area, it quickly spread to neighboring regions and districts – often transmitted during traditional burial rites in which highly contagious corpses were handled. Due to the inadequate initial response, the virus quickly crossed national borders into Liberia and Sierra Leone. An appropriate response requires interventions based on the key levers of control and treatment: identification, referral and effective treatment of cases in Ebola treatment units (ETU) and the effective training and equipment of health workers; tracing and monitoring of every person known to have had physical contact with an infected person and isolation of those who develop symptoms; safe burials; active surveillance to identify new transmission chains; and communications campaigns to raise awareness of the dangers, signs and symptoms of EVD. Community members must be enlisted to support the efforts of the health and sanitation systems.
