Contemporary Challenges In Basic Education

One of the major goals of EFA is: "that by 2015 all children in difficult circumstances and those belonging to ethnic minority [groups], have access to and complete free and compulsory primary education of good quality".

The issue of access to good quality formal education or schooling has remained a critical challenge facing most of the low-income and middle-income countries.
Admittedly, Botswana has always been ahead in paying attention to the educational needs of its people, even before the launch of EFA in 1990.
