1. NATURE AND MISSION

Debates on Education in Mauritania is a biannual, institutional, general-interest and accessible journal. It serves as the documentary record of the monthly programme of the same name and as a forum for dialogue among researchers, experts, teachers, families, civil society, institutions and decision-makers.

It does not replace the scientific Journal and is not intended to apply the full structure of an academic article to all its content. Its strength lies in synthesis, popularization, recommendations and the promotion of educational debate.
