Schools in Madagascar reflect the country’s history, culture, and economic challenges. Education is officially compulsory for children between the ages of six and fourteen.

The school system is divided into primary, lower secondary, and upper secondary education. Primary school usually lasts five years and focuses on basic literacy, numeracy, and general knowledge. Instruction is often given in Malagasy during the early years, with French becoming more common in later grades.

Access to education varies greatly between urban and rural areas.

Teacher shortages and limited funding remain major challenges. Many teachers receive very low salaries and have limited training opportunities.

Despite these difficulties, families generally value education and see it as a way to improve future opportunities.
