00:28An approach pioneered in several African countries aims to change that.
00:32Let's find out more in this new episode of Global Japan.
00:39On the outskirts of Madagascar's capital, Antananarivo,
00:44a General Assembly is underway to plan for the new school year.
00:47Parents, teachers and local community members discuss education priorities,
00:52but also finances and budget allocation.
00:55They are members of the School Management Committee,
00:58led by democratically elected representatives.
01:19These committees are a central pillar of School for All,
01:23a program developed by the Japan International Cooperation Agency, or JICA.
01:30The project also supports remedial classes tailored to each student's learning level,
01:35regardless of age.
01:37Studies show this approach can significantly improve children's reading and math skills.
02:06With School for All, children also receive meals organized by the community,
02:10i pre-school lessons inspired by Japanese storytelling methods.
02:16Launched in Nigeria in 2004, School for All has since expanded to 11 African countries.
03:03In Madagascar alone, the program reaches 2.2 million children in nearly 14,000 schools.
03:10JAICA is now working with UNICEF to expand this approach nationwide.
03:15JAICA has done a really good job of piloting, of experimenting, of demonstrating what works.
03:21And now UNICEF is working with JAICA to mobilize resources that we can ensure that this is
03:26implemented in all the schools in the entire country.
03:29Angela is a former beneficiary of School for All. She says the program helped her academic abilities.
03:40And the school for all is a great job.
03:43We are working with the teachers.
03:46We are working with the teachers.
03:53We are working with the teachers.
03:55Angela now plans to study journalism at university.
03:59Her story illustrates what Madagascar's government hopes to achieve by supporting School for All.
04:29School for All is based on a fundamental idea.
04:32Children's education is not the responsibility of the teachers.
04:35of teachers and parents alone.
04:37It's a societal choice and a collective responsibility that helps shape a country's future.
04:42school for All.
04:48School for All.
