Growth and expansion of private higher education in Africa
Edited by VARGHESE, N
UNESCO/IIEP, ADEA, 2006. ISBN: 9*78-92-803-1294-2.The
private sector is a fast growing segment of higher education in many
African countries. Both policy support and increasing social demand
for higher education have created a supportive environment for the growth
and expansion of private higher education institutions in Africa. This
expansion primarily takes the form of self-financing or for-profit institutions,
while some are funded by religious agencies. This publication is based
on IIEP research and a policy forum held in 2004 in collaboration with
the Association of African Universities (AAU) and the Association for
the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA). It analyzes the policy
changes that have taken place in a number of African countries in favor
of the private sector, both as a reaction to and as a stimulus for the
new trends. It examines the patterns in the growth and expansion of
private higher education institutions, and their management and sources
of financing.
Education for Rural People in Africa
FAO, UNESCO/IIEP, ADEA, 2006. ISBN: 978-92-803-1295-9.
Against a background of widespread rural poverty, illiteracy
and food insecurity, the FAO and UNESCO launched in 2002 a flagship
program entitled 'Education for Rural People' (ERP). This led to a number
of initiatives, including the regional seminar on Education for Rural
People in Africa, jointly organized by the FAO,ADEA and IIEP/UNESCO
in September 2005, in Addis Ababa. The seminar, which brought together
ministers of education, agriculture, rural development and fisheries
as well as civil society organizations in Africa, was held to help make
the education of rural people a top priority in national policies and
strategies and provide education and training for rural people by strengthening
policies, capacities and investment in ERP and poverty reduction. This
publication which draws upon the results of the seminar, analyzes the
needs of rural people within their diverse educational contexts and
discusses promising ways of using planning and monitoring to respond
to EFA and rural development challenges.
The ethics of international cooperation and the effectiveness of
human rights. Acts from an international inter-institutional colloquium,
at the university of Bergamo, Italy.
Edited by GANDOLFI Stefania, MEYER-BISCH Patrice and TOPANOU Victor
University of Bergamo/UNESCO - ADEA - L'Harmattan 2006. ISBN: 2-296
01365 1. In French only.
This publication reports the proceedings of the seminar
held in Bergamo, Italy, from 12 to 14 May 2005. The goals of the seminar
were to study how the degree to which human rights are truly effective
guides the philosophy of international cooperation and partnerships,
to compare the policy objectives of international cooperation, to contribute
to defining a pedagogy of development that promotes sustainable development,
to contribute to the formulation of guidelines of international cooperation
geared toward securing effective human rights and valuing cultural diversity,
and thus to contribute to methods of observation and establishment of
partnerships. To think about the ethics of cooperation, it is necessary
to think about the meaning, purpose and values of the human being, who
is both the fundamental principle and the end goal of development, as
well as about the effectiveness of the standards that define the human
being.
