Abstract

Education is one of the tops of policy agenda of a country, as well as the engine of the socioeconomic development. It consists of transforming human beings from ignorance to enlightenment, from shades of social backwardness to light of social amelioration and a nation from underdevelopment to faster social and economic development. In 1964, the general conference of UNESCO recognized that “illiteracy is a grave obstacle to social and economic development. Education is the true alchemy that can bring DRC its next golden age.  The motto is unambiguous: All for knowledge, and knowledge for all.
