45 Primary education Activities for the year 2012 were carried out in a national context marked by the implementation of the Accelerated Growth and Sustainable Development (AGSDS). We should also recall the plan of action of the EpT, aimed, among other things, at “increasing by 50% the rate of education of adults, particularly women by 2015 and ensuring for all adults, equitable access to basic education and permanent education programmes”. At the sectoral level, five important facts marked the implementation of activities in 2012. They include the adoption, by the Council of Ministers, of the Strategic Basic Education Development Programme (PDSEB 2012-2021), which includes the reform of the educational system and now covers the preschool, primary, general and technical post-primary and non-formal education, including vocational training; pursuit of the implementation of the National Literacy Education Acceleration Programme (PRONAA 20112015) through notably operationalization of the special literacy education campaign; the pursuit of activities as part of the process of transferring preschool and post-primary education to the MENA; implementation of the Capacity Building Strategic Plan (PSRC) and intensification of the process of transfer of competencies and resources to the local and regional governments in the framework of implementation of the decentralization programme. Under Strategic Objective 1 of the PDSEB “Improving access to formal and non-formal basic education” the activities carried out concerned increase in the offer and demand in NFE in relation with the national gender policy; promotion of non-formal education of adolescents; literacy education of young people and women; improvement of hygiene, health and nutrition conditions in NFE structures; coverage of training needs in the non-formal education sector; reduction of all kinds of inequalities in NFE; sensitization to ensure large support on the part of the populations for NFE programmes; and offer of total care for people living with disability in the NFE sector.
