The Sectoral Policies and Management of Education Systems (PSGSE) course is recruiting for its 16th intake
The PSGSE course has recorded exceptional retention and success rates for distance learning. These positive results are due in particular to the content of the course being very much in line with the professional practices of our students, as shown by the results of the evaluations organized at the end of each module. The summary sheets of these evaluations reveal that the students are extremely positive about the relevance of the training: what they learn in the PSGSE course is of interest to them and is useful for their work.

- for African executives in charge of defining, steering, managing, financing and evaluating education systems
The objective of this course is to transmit the analytical methods developed by the UNESCO's International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP-UNESCO Dakar) in its various activities to African executives in charge of defining, steering, managing, financing and evaluating education systems (in ministries in charge of education and partners). This is an in-service training course that targets three to five countries in the African region each year, with 10 to 15 candidates per country.
Government and donor mobilization around the definition of education system development plans has created a demand for new skills within ministries of education. One response to this demand is the training course on Sectoral Policies and Management of Education Systems (PSGSE) which was launched in 2007.
Co-organized by IIEP-UNESCO Dakar and the Faculty of Education and Training Sciences and Technologies (FASTEF) of Cheikh Anta Diop University (UCAD), the PSGSE course covers a full year of a Master's programme. Students enrolled in the degree programme and who pass the two semesters will be awarded 60 European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) credits.
