| 17 | |
| 18 | Alarmed by the prevailing limitations in acquiring quality education and vocational training in |
| 19 | Comoros, which contribute significantly to enduring unemployment, predominantly among the |
| 20 | youth, smaller workforce, and a corresponding smaller economy, |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Expressing concern that net access to primary education has increased by six percent over the |
| 23 | span of seven years, |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Disturbed by the deficient educational infrastructure and the scarcity of trained educators, which |
| 26 | result in suboptimal learning outcomes and hindered skill development, |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Deeply concerned that, in the status quo, a significant proportion of the Comorian youth lacks |

| 30 | advancement and perpetuating cycles of poverty and inequity, |
| 31 | |

| 37 | and information technology and telecommunications, and comprehensive human development and |
| 38 | its subsequent contribution to the socio-economic upliftment of the nation |
| 39 | |
| 40 | Noting with grave concern, that despite the Government of Comoros welcomed foreign investment |
| 41 | into the educational industry since gaining independence since 1975, the country of Comoros still |
| 42 | has barriers to the investment climate continues to be hampered by inadequate regulatory |
| 43 | mechanisms, |

| 46 | rectify disparities in educational access and achievement between boys and girls, |

| 48 | Mindful of the consequences of political instability, economic vulnerabilities, and health crises on |
| 49 | the education sector and human development in Comoros, |
| 50 | |
| 51 | Aware of the transformative potential of international cooperation, collaboration, and support in |
| 52 | bolstering the education system and human development initiatives in Comoros, |
| 53 | |
| 54 | Taking into account that Comoros maintains a medium-potential and not promising agricultural |
| 55 | sector, which is repressed by the lack of infrastructural facilities, |
| 56 | |
| 57 | Alarmed that an under-performing economy in Comoros correlates with increasing foreign debt, |
| 58 | quantified as 32.7% of its overall GDP, |
| 59 | |
| 60 | Stressing the need for Comoros to diversify its economic condition its economic condition to |
| 61 | ensure infrastructural development, macroeconomic stability, and foreign financial |
| 62 | interdependence to deter the nearing the threat of of fiscal implosion, |
| 63 | |

| 65 | living in poverty, |
