French to English: Dossier pays: l'état de l'éducation au Bénin General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Education / Pedagogy
Source text - French La population du pays, estimée à 10,6 millions d’habitants en 2014, croît au rythme de 2,8% par an, contre 2,5 % en moyenne pour les pays d’Afrique subsaharienne. L’ensemble des jeunes âgés de moins de 15 ans représente près de la moitié de la population (49 %). Au rythme de croissance démographique actuel, la population âgée de 6 à 11 ans (scolarisable au cycle primaire) augmentera de 26% d’ici 2020. Ce sont alors au moins 2 millions d’enfants qu’il faudra scolariser au seul cycle primaire, contre 1,5 million scolarisés en 2006/07. En 2012, la part des dépenses courantes pour l’éducation s’élevait à 24,3%, ce qui est plus élevé que la moyenne en Afrique subsaharienne (22,2%) et reflète l’engagement politique pour l’éducation. Les dépenses en éducation des ménages restent cependant élevées : en 2004, pour chaque dollar dépensé par l’État, les familles dépensent 68 cents, le double du niveau observé dans les autres pays de la région (Fiche pays EPT – Bénin, 2012).
Translation - English The population of the country, estimated at 10.6 million inhabitants in 2014, is growing at a pace of 2.8% per year, opposed to 2.5% on average for the countries of Sub-Saharan Africa. Young people under 15 years of age represent nearly half of the population (49%). At the current pace of population growth, the population of 6- to 11-years olds (of primary school-age) will increase by 26% by 2020. At least 2 million children will then need to be enrolled in the sole primary school level, as opposed to 1.5 million enrolled in 2006/2007. In 2012, the share of everyday expenses for education rose to 24.3%, which is higher than the average in Sub-Saharan Africa (22.2%) and reflects the political engagement for education. Household spending on education remains high, however. In 2004, for each dollar spent by the state, families spend 68 cents, double the amount observed in the other countries in the region (“Fiche pays EPT – Bénin, 2012”).

Source text - French En couple, 2016 devrait vous aider à cerner vos véritables besoins sur le plan affectif et à considérer si vos choix du passé correspondent toujours à vos attentes. Vous ne serez donc guère d’humeur romantique cette année, vous chercherez à savoir si votre union a su résister à la pression du temps et des habitudes. Vous aurez ainsi bien du mal à supporter un partenaire qui conteste vos options professionnelles, vos choix de vie personnels. Si le couple résiste à l’assaut saturnien, il sortira renforcé de l’épreuve sinon, certains songeront à rompre le processus. À partir de fin octobre pourtant, quelles que soient vos décisions ultérieures, Jupiter vient rallumer la flamme… ou l’allumer ailleurs. Vous vous sentirez renaître et pourrez alors partager avec l’autre un regain de passion, un retour de flamme que vous apprécierez grandement, avec, pour certains, une envie d’agrandir la famille. Cela ne vous dispense pas de garder les yeux ouverts sur la réalité de vos aspirations.
Translation - English If you are in a relationship, 2016 should enable you to figure out your emotional needs and see if your past choice still meets your expectations. Hardly a romantic year for you, then. You will seek to find out if your union has withstood the ravages of time and habit. You will also have quite a bit of trouble putting up with a partner that objects to your professional and life choices. If the couple can resist Saturn's onslaught, it will come out even stronger. If not, some may consider breaking it off. Regardless of your subsequent decisions, after the end of October, Jupiter will return to rekindle the flames - or light them elsewhere. You will feel reborn and will be able to share with the other person a resurgence of passion, which will be greatly appreciated, while others will feel like expanding their family. This does not mean that you get to close your eyes to the reality of your dreams.
