Education in Equatorial Guinea

Education in Equatorial Guinea is free and compulsory from six until the age of 14. Primary education is for five years, followed by four years of secondary in the first stage, and three subsequent years of secondary education in the second stage. Only about 35% of children between the ages of three and six are enrolled in some type of preschool program. However, there is inequity in the system in which girls are more likely than boys to drop out of school. It is estimated that only about 45% of all students complete their primary education.

International Schools

International schools can be the perfect solution for an expat student (multinational corporation executives, children of diplomats, NGO staff) in Equatorial Guinea. There may be some local population, but the schools are usually geared for an international student body. Schools may follow a curriculum model from the US, UK, or France. Primary instruction may be any language (and multiple languages are usually taught), but it is usually in English or French. Schools provide similar standards of schooling around the globe, providing for an easy transition between schools whether they are in France or Vietnam. Schools also provide internationally accepted accreditation such as the international baccalaureate.

Admission and enrollment procedures vary from school to school. Space is often limited and preference may be given to students based on nationality. Tuition tends to be expensive based on local standards, but offers high standards of learning, boast smaller class sizes, first-rate facilities, and extracurricular. Boarding facilities are available at some schools, but most only provide day classes.
