Guinea    

Guinea is still recovering from more than two decades of dictatorial rule that lasted until 1984. Since then, the country has undergone dramatic civil transformation by adopting a new constitution in 1990 in order to guarantee social and political freedom and by attempting to restructure the education system to better serve all citizens. In response to the goverment's 1989 National Education Policy, the Programme d'Adjustment Sectoriel de L'Education (PASE) was designed. PASE addressed the urgent need for a complete refom of the educational system and focused on increasing access to primary education and imrpoving the administraion of education.
