Investing in higher education is vital for the future of Malagasy youth and the country's economic development. The number of young people graduating from secondary school, while still low, is growing rapidly, and the population of young people aged 15 to 24 could reach 6 million by 2025, according to the World Bank.

The 2018-2022 Education Sector Plan was developed jointly by teams from the three ministries: the Ministry of National Education (MEN), the Ministry of Employment, Technical Education and Vocational Training (MEETFP) and the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MESupReS).

The short-term technical and vocational training provided by higher institutes of technology meets the needs of the labor market and deserves to be developed. The first two Higher Institutes of Technology (IST) were created in 1992 in Antananarivo and Antsiranana, based on the model of similar institutes in France and Canada.

The Madagascar Emergence Plan (PEM) initiates a reform of higher education and scientific research through innovation. The supervisory ministry addresses the reform of the bachelor's-master's-doctorate system in terms of the quality of training offerings. It aims to ensure inclusive and equitable education and promote lifelong learning opportunities while also ensuring the employability of graduates.

E-governance will improve the management of higher education and scientific research, given that new technologies are available in all higher education institutions. Digitalization will affect the administration with a view to greater transparency, the central information system, and the development of human resources. This e-governance expertise will be invested in the Schools of Management and Technological Innovation (EMIT), the National School of Computer Science (ENI) of Fianarantsoa, the Higher Institutes of Technology of Antananarivo and Antsiranana, as well as the Polytechnic School of Vontovorona.

The Malagasy population is characterized by its great diversity but shares a common language, Malagasy, which, along with French, constitutes the country's official languages. Madagascar therefore benefits from a French-language education system. Thus, from primary school onwards, Malagasy children are familiar with the language of Molière and thus have an excellent level of French, both spoken without the slightest accent and written.

Beyond the advantages of lower labor costs, Madagascar stands out for the quality of its workforce. Malagasy people are renowned for their eagerness to learn and their skill. They also possess an innate empathy.
