Abstract

Since 1990, school strikes have seriously hampered teaching in Mali, especially in secondary and higher education, and exams have been cancelled or held in spite of insufficient teaching. Some say the government has shown it knows how to save the school year but not how to save the school. This article analyses the complex reasons for this crisis, violence and corruption as its means of expression, the government’s handling of it, as well as the internal and external consequences. It finally suggests some possible ways out of the crisis.
