The general objectives of the study are the following: What is the general national picture regarding curricular reform, notably with respect to the five study areas and what evidence is available on their impact? What is the state of the art of reform in the five study areas at the level of the higher education institutions? What are the impacts of the reforms? What are references of good performance in terms of the impacts?},
