She also encourages the Government to continue implementing the necessary measures and policies to enhance the quality and effectiveness of the system as a whole. 112. Côte d’Ivoire could serve as a model for other countries in the West African subregion, especially with regard to legislation, the decision to treat basic education as a budget priority and ongoing educational innovation. 113. The country is also encouraged to continue experimenting with inclusive education centres, and to circulate the results to the member countries of the Fondation Karanta; 9 it is important to share the relevant results regarding transitional schools with other countries in the subregion that are struggling to reach the most disadvantaged people. 114. The Special Rapporteur encourages Côte d’Ivoire to take a leadership role and call for the Economic Community of West African States to give further consideration to harmonizing education qualifications with the UNESCO concept of basic education adopted by those countries, which requires at least 10 years of education. Côte d’Ivoire is encouraged to question whether the Certificate of Elementary Primary Studies is an appropriate first-level qualification in today’s world and to bear in mind the aims set out in the Incheon Declaration: Education 2030: Towards inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning for all. International partnerships and community cooperation 115. International partners clearly support the Ivorian Government and should be encouraged to increase their contribution and strengthen political dialogue on the challenges of governance and quality. 116.
