According to a recent study, conflicts have severely deteriorated the educational infrastructure, resulting in the closure of many schools. The absence of a safe environment has hindered children's learning and development, reducing prospects for socio-economic progress. The education system in the Central African Republic continues to face serious challenges, including a shortage of qualified personnel, insufficient funding, and other socio-economic barriers that limit access to education for residents of remote regions, indigenous peoples, nomadic tribes, refugees, and internally displaced persons.
