    ABIDJAN
    Chad will receive a US $7.3-million loan from the Islamic Development Bank to support educational projects, AFP reported, citing a statement from the Jeddah-based institution. The loan will enable Chad to build more schools, develop others and set up a Franco-Arabic bilingual training scheme for school teachers, AFP reported. Primary school enrolment in Chad is about 52 percent while some 10 per cent of eligible children attend secondary school, according to 1996 figures. The country has one university and several technical colleges.
