Released earlier this year, UNESCO’s annual Education for All Global Monitoring Report 2013/4, entitled Teaching and Learning: Achieving quality for all, ranks Equatorial Guinea above all other countries in sub-Saharan Africa in terms of literacy rates. The data suggests that Equatorial Guinea has a 94% literacy rate, with that rate even higher among younger demographics (reaching 98% for those 15-24 years of age).
It also discusses the positive developments in education that Equatorial Guinea has seen in recent years. The country is among those who will achieve a rate of 95% or more in gender equality in primary education by 2015, showing significant progress in this area. Further to this, it is estimated that Equatorial Guinea will see a preschool enrolment greater than or equal to 70% by 2015. UNESCO issued recommendations to increase the number of teaching staff, as well as to improve the training of current staff.
