Abstract

This study aims to examine how community participation contributes to enhancing school performance in the Atsimo Andrefana Region of Madagascar. Schools in this region face persistent challenges, including limited resources, low student motivation, high absenteeism, and socio-economic constraints, which affect learning outcomes and overall institutional effectiveness. A qualitative case study approach was adopted, involving 38 key participants, including school principals, vice principals, guidance counselors, teachers, parent association leaders, community leaders, local education office representatives, and student representatives. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, and document analysis, and were analyzed thematically to capture patterns and insights across multiple stakeholder perspectives. The findings indicate that active community participation enhances student motivation, attendance, and engagement while contributing to a more supportive and organized school environment. Integration of local knowledge, such as cultural practices and practical skills, strengthened the relevance of learning and promoted collaborative problem-solving between schools and communities. Challenges to sustaining school–community partnerships included socio-economic limitations, geographic isolation, communication barriers, and gaps in teacher training; however, informal contributions and culturally grounded initiatives demonstrated measurable positive effects on student outcomes. The study underscores the need for structured and flexible strategies to maintain engagement, capacity-building for educators and community stakeholders, and institutional mechanisms that support long-term collaboration. Future research could explore the longitudinal impacts of collaborative learning ecosystems and conduct comparative studies across different regions to identify effective strategies for community-supported education in Madagascar

Abstract

This study aims to explore local perspectives on the use of Malagasy as a language of instruction in elementary schools in Toliara, Southwest Madagascar. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, and informal discussions with teachers, school administrators, and parents to examine perceptions, challenges, and aspirations related to mother-tongue education. The findings reveal that the use of Malagasy enhances comprehension, participation, and cultural connection among learners, fostering a more inclusive and confident learning environment. Even so, the implementation process faces significant obstacles, including limited teaching materials, inadequate teacher training, and insufficient policy support. Participants expressed strong support for a balanced bilingual model that integrates Malagasy for foundational learning and French for broader academic and professional opportunities. The study emphasizes the need for clear policy direction, improved teacher preparation, and greater community involvement to strengthen the role of Malagasy in education. These insights contribute to broader discussions on linguistic equity and educational reform in multilingual societies, suggesting that sustainable progress requires aligning national identity with educational inclusiveness and global engagement.

Abstract

This study aims to examine primary school education in Madagascar under conditions of poverty and rural inequality, with particular attention to how structural deprivation shapes educational access, learning readiness, and school quality at the primary level. The research explores the interconnected roles of household economic conditions, school infrastructure, teacher capacity, community engagement, and institutional management in shaping educational experiences in rural settings. Qualitative research design was employed to capture the perspectives and lived experiences of key educational stakeholders. Data were collected in the Atsimo Andrefana Region of Madagascar, specifically within the CISCO of Toliara II, Sakaraha, and Morombe, areas characterized by limited resources and predominantly rural populations. Primary data consisted of semi-structured interviews with 35 key informants, focus group discussions, and document analysis involving teachers, school principals, parents, community members, and local education officials. The findings reveal that poverty-related challenges, including malnutrition, livelihood insecurity, inadequate school infrastructure, and uneven professional support for teachers, significantly undermine learning readiness and instructional quality. Educational inequality is further reinforced by weak school management capacity and limited access to technological and administrative resources. Community involvement and culturally responsive teaching practices were found to partially mitigate these constraints by enhancing student engagement and school resilience. The study concludes that improving primary education in rural Madagascar requires integrated and context-sensitive strategies linking education policy with social protection, targeted investment in rural schools, continuous teacher professional development, and strengthened community–school partnerships to promote more equitable educational outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how community involvement influences school success in Sakaraha, a semi-urban district in the Atsimo-Andrefana region of Madagascar, where educational progress is often hindered by limited resources and social inequality. It sought to understand how local actors participate in school activities, the barriers they encounter, and the effects of their engagement on educational outcomes. A qualitative approach was employed, using semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis to collect data from 25 participants, including school principals, teachers, parents, community leaders, and education officers selected through purposive sampling. Thematic analysis was applied to identify key patterns and perspectives regarding community participation and its impact on school performance. The findings indicate that communities in Sakaraha contribute actively through practical actions such as maintaining school facilities, organizing local initiatives, and supporting student discipline; however, their participation remains limited in decision-making and long-term educational planning. Socioeconomic constraints, particularly poverty, low literacy levels, and weak communication between schools and families, continue to limit sustained collaboration. Despite these challenges, community participation was found to enhance student motivation, attendance, and the overall school environment, demonstrating its significance as a key driver of educational improvement. Strengthening participatory mechanisms and equipping communities with leadership and communication skills could transform this involvement into a more strategic and sustainable force for school development. The study highlights the need for stronger collaboration among the Ministry of National Education, local authorities, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to promote inclusive governance and shared responsibility in education. Enhancing community-school partnerships in Sakaraha and similar regions may contribute to a more equitable, resilient, and effective education system that supports long-term student success and community development.
