Ministerial Seminar on Education for Rural Development
7-9 September, 2005, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
The Ministerial Conference on
Education for Rural People ended on Friday 9 September in Addis
Ababa. The seminar has allowed the ministers to present a Communiqué
containing their recommendations. The Hon. Mr. Teshome Yizengaw,
Vice-Minister for Higher Education of Ethiopia, lauded the seminar
that has « fostered new partnerships and alliances amongst African
countries and has clearly demonstrated our common vision and dedication
to design African strategies for African problems.» According to
Mrs. Villareal of FAO
« One of the main objectives of the ministerial seminar on Education
for Rural People has been achieved: Ministers of education, agriculture,
fisheries and rural development and high-level officials from eleven
African countries have agreed to join efforts to enhance education
in rural areas».
The Executive Secretary of ADEA,
Mr. Mamadou Ndoye declared: "Countries now have two obligations. First,
they must implement affirmative action policies to correct inequalities
between urban and rural areas. Second, they must develop responses that
are adapted to the demands of rural peoples and which are relevant and
quality focused." The Executive Secretary also stressed the need to
engage partners going beyond the education sector. "Education programs
cannot be relevant if they are not articulated to development programs.
Hence the need for inter-sectoral approaches to education."
