In his speech, the President Martelly stressed that "[...] This is serious because of the prevailing situation in our educational system for decades. The poor results in national examinations are a constant, except that this year, it explodes in our eyes because the results are known school by school," and announced that the Ministry of Education will implement 12 bold measures to redress the balance. Excerpts from the statement of President Martelly : "[...] This is serious and the moment historic. This is serious because of the prevailing situation in our educational system for decades. The poor results in national examinations are a constant, except that this year, it explodes in our eyes because the results are known school by school. No responsible leader can not be satisfied when nearly 25% of students in the sixth year fundamental, 28% of 9th year fundamental fail in national examinations. The situation is worse in the secondary when, for over 30 years, year after year, 70% of students 'Rhéto (Bac1)' and 50% of students 'Philo, (Bac 2)' fail. This is also a solemn moment, as it is for us to break with these practices which, year after year, just acknowledge the failure, to reject it eventually on these students. It came time for a major review of national consciousness and especially the time of major decisions, beyond the partisan battles. That is why I have instructed my Minister of Education to take bold measures, historical and I would like to express my full support to the main lines that he will announce so that finally the Haitian school is a school of success. Upon my election as President, I wanted to make education a cornerstone of government policy by launching the program free and compulsory universal schooling. Today, the latest statistics show that we are on the right track since the net enrollment rate for the first two cycles of the fundamental is estimated at 88%. We will spare no effort to consolidate, strengthen and energize the PSUGO, including through upgrading and expansion of public provision of education. I am convinced that the quality of education is one of the important levers that will improve the economic and social conditions of the population and ensure the sustainability of social inclusion desired by my government. Thus, a single watchword for the coming academic year: 'Cap sur la qualité' 'Kalite tèt dwat'. Therefore, at the next Council of Ministers, the measures announced today will be a resolution of the Council and will result in the promulgation of a presidential decree. [...]" The 12 measures of the Ministry of Education : The Ministry of Education with the support of President Martelly announced 12 measures to redress the balance in the Haitian education system.
