Abstract

This study aims to examine infrastructure deficits and their impact on learning conditions in elementary schools in the Haute Matsiatra region of Madagascar. Using a qualitative research approach, data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with 45 key informants, including teachers, school principals, local education officials, and parents. The findings reveal that many schools operate under poor physical conditions characterized by inadequate classrooms, overcrowding, insufficient teaching materials, and limited access to sanitation facilities. These conditions negatively affect students’ concentration, participation, and academic performance, while also reducing teacher effectiveness and motivation. The study further highlights significant disparities between rural and peri-urban schools, where unequal distribution of resources reinforces educational inequities. Although local communities attempt to address some infrastructural gaps through collective efforts, their contributions remain limited without sufficient institutional and governmental support. Data analysis using thematic coding revealed recurring patterns linking poor infrastructure to weakened teaching and learning processes. The study concludes that improving school infrastructure is essential for enhancing educational quality and equity in the region.

Abstract

This study aims to examine strategies to reduce school dropout in Madagascar through policy interventions and community involvement. School dropout remains a significant challenge influenced by socioeconomic constraints, weak school environments, and gaps between policy design and local implementation. This research employs a qualitative approach, with data collected from 10 key informants consisting of school leaders, teachers, local authorities, and community representatives selected through purposive sampling. Thematic analysis is used to identify key patterns related to the causes of dropout and effective intervention strategies. The findings indicate that poverty, inadequate infrastructure, and limited educational resources contribute to low student engagement, while weak policy enforcement reduces the effectiveness of existing reforms. On the other hand, strong community participation, including the involvement of parents and local governance systems, plays an important role in supporting students’ educational continuity. This study emphasizes that alignment between policy and community-based practices can enhance the sustainability and effectiveness of dropout reduction efforts. It recommends strengthening policy implementation, improving school environments, and increasing active community engagement. Future research is suggested to examine the long-term impact of interventions across different regions in Madagascar.

Abstract

This study investigates the evolving geopolitical rivalry between Iran and Israel by analyzing the interdependent roles of spatial strategy, proxy warfare, and alliance formation. It aims to explain how geography, military networks, and ideological narratives coalesce to sustain conflict in the Middle East. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research integrates narrative analysis, geospatial mapping, and documentary interpretation. Data sources include government statements, satellite imagery, open-source intelligence, and scholarly literature. The findings reveal that Iran’s strategic behavior is rooted in its access to key maritime chokepoints, its support for territorially embedded proxies, and its multi-vector alliances with global powers. Israel counters through infrastructural control in the Eastern Mediterranean, forward military doctrine, and regional normalization agreements. The analysis further uncovers how both states utilize spatialized narratives to legitimize their actions and project deterrence. Additionally, cyber operations emerge as a non-territorial extension of conflict, enabling both actors to influence adversaries without confrontation. This research contributes new theoretical and methodological perspectives by integrating physical and discursive geographies into a unified explanatory model. The study provides a scalable framework for analyzing hybrid conflicts and offers strategic insights relevant to regional diplomacy, defense planning, and security governance.
