Assessing Student Learning in Africa
This title reviews four aspects of educational assessment: public examinations, national assessment, international assessment, and classroom assessment, and offers suggestions for using different forms of assessment to enhance student learning.
Education for Rural Development
An international joint study by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and UNESCO's International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) was conducted on education and rural development to review the status of the topic from the standpoint of public policies and the conceptual frameworks on which they are based and also to shed light on what may be called "good practice." The findings of the study are meant to serve not as models, but rather as points of reference for all those who are seeking ways of developing education in rural areas and contributing more effectively to rural development. Chapter I, "Education and Rural Development: Setting the Framework" (Da...
Revisiting Technical and Vocational Education in Sub-Saharan Africa
Differences in historical, political, cultural, and economic contexts in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) account for wide variations in structures, operating conditions, and outcomes in technical and vocational education (TVE). This diversity is associated with glaring disparities, so in examining policy trends and the reconstruction of training systems particular attention is focused on innovations in an effort to identify promising initiatives likely to contribute to the establishment of consistent TVE systems, closely linked with the world of work and involving labor market stakeholders. Some common emerging trends in TVE include the following: (1) a shift in the policy focus from inputs to outp...
Abolishing School Fees in Africa
Progress in literacy and learning, especially through universal primary education, has done more to advance human conditions than perhaps any other policy. Our generation has the possibility of becoming the first generation ever to offer all children access to good quality basic education. But it will only happen if we have the political commitment -- at the country as well as at the international level -- to give priority to achieve this first in human history. And it will only happen if also those who cannot afford to pay school fees can benefit from a complete cycle of good quality primary education. Investment in good quality fee-free primary education should be a cornerstone in any government's poverty reduction strategy.
Private Technical and Vocational Education in Sub-Saharan Africa
The private provision trend in technical and vocational education (TVE) in sub-Saharan Africa occurred as the deterioration of state-run TVE systems in the region created a market niche for private providers. While advocates of deregulation believe the adoption of market principles in TVE will lead to greater efficiency and effectiveness, private providers have emerged in an uncoordinated and unmonitored fashion. A literature review and case studies of two countries Senegal and Mali led to some of the following key findings: (1) in some countries the majority of TVE students are enrolled in private institutions; (2) a large number of private TVE institutions operate illegally; (3) private pr...

La Côte d'Ivoire à l'aube du XXIe siècle
La crise économique des années 1980 et 1990 en Côte d'Ivoire a été à la mesure de la croissance des décennies antérieures souvent qualifiée de " modèle ivoirien ". A l'aube du XXIe siècle, cette grave crise, qui s'étend au domaine socio-politique, doit être mise au regard des dynamiques démographiques, des trajectoires économiques et des défis du développement durable. Cet ouvrage privilégie par conséquent le long terme dans une étude rétrospective et prospective. Après avoir étudié les infléchissements de la croissance de la population et de celle de l'économie, l'ouvrage analyse les secteurs clés du développement économique et social. Épuisement des fronts pio...

Le défi de l'apprentissage
Lors du forum mondial sur l'éducation de Dakar, tous les pays d'Afrique subsaharienne ont réaffirmé leur engagement à concrétiser les objectifs d'apprentissage et d'achèvement de l'éducation de base pour tous. La plupart des systèmes éducatifs de la région sont pourtant loin de les atteindre. Moins d'un tiers des enfants en âge d'être scolarisés acquiert les connaissances spécifiées dans les programmes nationaux du primaire. A travers 22 études de cas nationales, voici une synthèse de recherches sur la qualité, l'amélioration qualitative, l'équité entre les sexes, et une description des interventions extérieures.
