Madagascar reforms school curriculum after thirty years
By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Lexpress
Madagascar is introducing a new school curriculum from primary to secondary level in the 2026-2027 academic year, after thirty years without a revision. The reform changes content and teaching methods and could complicate the 2027 BEPC because the old and new curricula will coexist, according to Yves Martin Razafimandranto, director-general of Pedagogy.
Madagascar is implementing a new school curriculum for the 2026-2027 academic year, the first complete overhaul in thirty years. The reform aims to bring teaching closer to everyday life and covers all levels, from primary school to secondary school, in public and private schools following the state curriculum, according to L’Express and Madagascar’s Ministry of National Education.
The reform could complicate the organisation of the 2027 BEPC, which will have to contend with the old and new curricula running concurrently. The transition comes as pupils and teachers must adapt to the new content during the same school year, L’Express reports.
