The Democratic Republic of Congo makes education a national priority

In recent years, universal education in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has become a national priority. DRC joined GPE in 2012 and has since received two substantial grants to overhaul the Congolese education system.
The first grant of US$100 million from 2013-2016 significantly improved national primary school enrollment, restored more than 700 classrooms, distributed 20 million textbooks and teacher guides, and trained more than 11,000 teachers. The next grant of the same amount will be implemented from 2016-2020.
