The PERFORM project aspire to contribute to resolve the lack of qualified post-basic teachers in Madagascar.This project aims at designing and implementing an hybrid continuing education system for post-basic education teachers. It will be based on a collaborative approach in both design and implementation. The methodology is based on these principles:- Training on hybrid training design for a group of teacher trainers at European universities;- Training of teachers for teacher training colleges by this group of trainers, with the support of European experts;- Co-design of a hybrid training device by a group of teachers from teacher training colleges and post-basic education teachers including the training time itself ;Through the device put in place:- 185 teacher trainers are trained in the design of a hybrid training device;- 1,000 post-basic education teachers in the priority disciplines set by the ministries (mathematics, physics, chemistry, French and computer science) are trained in the didactics of their disciplines, as well as in education sciences and in French.At the end of the project:- The teachers of the teacher training colleges have the necessary skills to extend the system to initial training or even to other disciplines if necessary;- Post-basic education teachers have improved their capacities and adopted the use of new technologies;- Teachers are able to innovate by integrating a collaborative dimension into their teaching practices.The PERFORM project has been endorsed and is supported by the three Malagasy ministries of education who intend to make the system sustainable, with the teaching policy being at the heart of the priorities of the 2018-2022 Education Sector Plan.In the long term, the impact of the project is to reduce the repetition and drop-out rates of post-basic education students and increase the success rate of the “baccalaureate” (end of post-basic education degree).

The HayKa project significantly improves the contribution of Malagasy research to sustainable development through the strengthening of the capacities of 9 doctoral schools (ED) in terms of scientific quality, supervision and governance. Three specific objectives contribute to this improvement:1. To strengthen the links between academic research and the needs of the socio-economic world for employability (link between research and society) 2. Strengthen the capacities and internationalization of Doctoral Schools (international link) 3. Strengthen the links between the different Doctoral Schools (structural link of doctoral research on a national scale, notion of network). The expected results are (i) the reinforcement of institutional capacities (management of doctoral schools), (ii) the reinforcement of collective and individual capacities (creation of a pool of Malagasy trainers, improvement of the transversal training of doctoral students), for a better scientific level and a higher employability rate of doctoral students. In addition, the project will develop an interdisciplinary network of Malagasy Doctoral Schools, with harmonized procedures, conducive to a better insertion of graduates in the socio-economic world. In addition to the complementarity of the partners and the expertise of the universities and institutes of the North, the strategy of the project combines innovative teaching techniques (hybrid and based on collective intelligence in interdisciplinarity) allowing the partners to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to sustainably strengthen their capacities, and meet the ODDs. In addition to the training sessions provided, the project will organize key meetings to achieve the objectives (Doctoriales, students-companies meeting, summer school ...), create a platform dedicated to the doctorate and provide participants with a number of tools (charter of the doctorate, international joint PhD program).
