Results achieved as of the end of the project (March 2022) include: (1) achieved a pass rate of 41.3% for the 2022 first cycle diploma, including 37.9% for girls, and a parity index of 0.82, compared with 27.8% in 2021, including 24.4% for girls. This represents an increase of 13.5 percentage points for all pupils and girls respectively; (2) increased of 3.3 percentage points in the pass rate for the Primary School Certificate (PSC) from 60% in 2021, including 58.2% for girls, to 63.3% in 2022, including 61.8% for girls. Internally displaced pupils recorded a rate of 56.51% in 2022 for the PSC. Pupils living with disabilities achieved a performance of 63.70%; and (3) obtained a 0.4 percentage point drop in the primary school completion rate for all pupils between 2020 - 2021, with a rate of 62.0% (57.5% for boys and 66.5% for girls), and 2021 - 2022, with a rate of 62.4% (57.3% for boys and 67.7% for girls). However, the completion rate for girls is on the rise and has remained higher than for boys over the period. The downward trend observed in certain education quality indicators is due to factors external to the education system, notably the security crisis. According to the report on Education in Emergency Situations to December 31, 2022, the security crisis led to the closure of 6,253 schools, representing 23.88% of Burkina Faso's educational structures. These closures affected 1,076,155 pupils, including 523,194 girls, and 31,594 teachers, including 10,130 women. These efforts enabled 258,516 pupils to be re-enrolled and 6,327 teachers to be redeployed.
