The education sector plan for the period 2017-2021 by Cabo Verde includes three pillars:

• universal access to pre-primary education for all children aged 4 to 5 years, including those with special needs;
• better articulation of pre-primary education with basic education so that all students receive two years of pre-primary education;
• equal access to universal, free education up to Grade 8 through the implementation of social action plans for schools, particularly for priority groups and special education for all.
