Freedom of employment is also guaranteed by a very flexible labor code.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t \t\t Since the start of the 2021 school year, registration and tuition fees have been free for public middle and high schools throughout Togo. For 2021, the budget allocated to the education system amounts to 195.5 billion CFA francs. This budget, or 25.1% of the allocation from ministries and institutions, will allow for the continued construction and\/or modernization of school infrastructure (through public-private partnerships) accessible to all, the recruitment and training of educators, and the orientation of higher education towards the needs of the labor market. The school canteen program has also been implemented for 92,000 students each year, not to mention the presidential initiative "School Assur" which has already supported nearly 2 million Togolese learners. At the end of August 2021, the World Bank approved a disbursement of $60 million, or just over 33 billion CFA francs, from the International Development Association (IDA) to support Togolese education. This funding will support the Togolese government's 2020-2030 Education Sector Plan. Specifically, it will strengthen primary and lower secondary education and improve the overall management of the education system. It will also support the Togolese government in building new classrooms, training teachers, and implementing curriculum reforms. This fund will also take into account the education of girls in disadvantaged areas. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t \t\t The creation of work-study institutes for development (IFAD) was born from the Head of State's desire to provide Togolese youth with the means and tools to support the country's development. Ten are planned across the country. The first IFAD-Elevage was established in 2019 in Elavagnon in the plateaus, dedicated to aquaculture professions. The second establishment, dedicated to construction and renewable energy professions, was inaugurated in April 2021 in Adidogom\u00e9 in the northwest suburbs of Lom\u00e9. It consists of around twenty classrooms connected to broadband and powered by a mini solar power plant. The ambition is to substantially reform vocational training to make it easier for graduates to obtain qualifications. Indeed, with the IFADs, the Public-Private Partnership is a reality in the education system. Based on the work-study principle, training is provided half-time at IFAD between classes and workshops, and half-time in the workplace. Thanks to personalized support and dynamic, interactive courses, the learner becomes a qualified human resource ready to engage in employment. To accelerate national development, certain sectors have been identified as priorities: aquaculture, livestock farming, construction, hospitality, logistics, and digital technology.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Private higher education has been liberalized in Togo, thus promoting the emergence of Private Higher Education Schools, partners of the State in training in order to counter the mass increase in students in public universities.\u00a0<\/p>\n Togo has adopted a national research and innovation policy, covering a 10-year period (2020-2030), under the leadership of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. This new policy aims to address the country's research weaknesses and define its broad guidelines, taking into account its economic and development ambitions, particularly in connection with the National Development Plan (NDP). Above all, it aims to address the funding challenge by ultimately increasing the share of national GDP devoted to research.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
