Security Challenges and Access to Education in Central Mali

By Etienne Fakaba Sissoko

This study explores the security challenges affecting the education system in the Segou region of Mali. School closures, both voluntary and involuntary, represent a major obstacle to access to education for children, particularly girls, exacerbating problems such as early marriage. These closures also expose children to an uncertain future, marked by increased risks of violence, delinquency and recruitment by armed groups.The article proposes strategic solutions to address these issues, such as substantial investment in educational infrastructure, the development of alternative educational programs, as well as enhanced protection measures for children. These recommendations, if implemented, can make a significant contribution to improving access to education and the quality of the education system in the S gou region. Urgent, coordinated action by the authorities, communities and development partners is needed to ensure a promising educational future for the young residents of S gou.
