Basic education
Reaching out-of-school
children in Ghana with multigrade schooling
Northern Ghana has high levels of poverty, scattered settlements and
low socio-economic activity. Many of the children in this area would
never have been able to attend school if not for the School for Life
programme, a model of multigrade schooling. What impact has it had on
improving access to basic education?
Alternative
Basic Education in post-conflict African countries
Once conflict has ended in an African state, the need to reconstruct
basic education becomes a priority. While post-conflict states share
some common issues, they each attempt this reconstruction within a particular
context. How can they incorporate different perspectives on issues critical
to education reconstruction? What lessons can they learn in relation
to funding, management and access, especially in relation to Alternative
Basic Education (ABE)?
Inclusive education
Providing access
to good education for pastoral groups in Sudan
Internationally, there is growing awareness that the target of Education
for All by 2015 will not be met unless efforts are made to improve access
for marginalised, hard-to-reach children. These include those from nomadic
and pastoralist groups. What are the challenges of providing access
to good quality education for these young people in North Sudan?
Getting
disabled children into schools
A third of the 72 million children out of school in the world are disabled
and only ten percent of disabled children in Africa attend school. Yet
the Education for All Fast Track Initiative (FTI) is not yet responsive
enough to the challenge of getting disabled children into school.
New directions needed for gender in education
More and more girls are now enrolling in schools worldwide, but gender
equity goals cannot be reached simply by building schools and ensuring
female access to them. Policymaking must become more transparent and
inclusive to ensure that enough resources are allocated for girls' education.
