Overlooked and Undervalued: A Synthesis of ERNWACA Reviews on the State of Education Research in West and Central Africa / ERNWACA
Titre : Overlooked and Undervalued: A Synthesis of ERNWACA Reviews on the State of Education Research in West and Central Africa Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : ERNWACA , Auteur; Maclure, Richard, Auteur
Editeur : Bamako, Mali : ERNWACA Année de publication : 1997 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : While African governments have invested heavily in education during the last three decades, it is now generally accepted that social and economic returns from this investment have not met original expectations. Yet critiques of African education and recommendations for its reform have often been founded on limited empirical evidence.
In part this has been due to relatively weak research capacities in African countries. In the late 1980s, in response to widespread concerns about the deepening crisis of African education and the need for improved national research capacity,researchers from several African countries established the Educational Research Network of West and Central Africa (ERNWACA). In accordance with its mandate to promote applied educational research and to foster a climate of contact and exchange among researchers in the region, ERNWACA.s first major activity was to produce a series of state-of-the-art reviews of educational research in seven member countries.
Altogether these reviews uncovered 1,056 studies, most of which have been unpublished and are thus almost completely unknown.
Overlooked and Undervalued, a synthesis of the ERNWACA state-of-the-art reviews, renders information from these studies more accessible to a wider audience of researchers and policy makers. Over 30 broad areas of research have been consolidated into six general themes: Educational Finance and Administration, Learning in Formal Education Systems, Teachers and Teaching, Education and Socioeconomic Integration, Nonformal and Traditional Education, and Educational Reform. Within the framework of each theme, this volume reviews the types of studies cited in the ERNWACA
reports and summarizes their most salient points. These studies have yielded an abundance of information that adds to the knowledge base of African education. They provide valuable insights about teachers and teaching, factors affecting pupil learning, local capacities for educational innovation, connections between education and work, characteristics of indigenous education and nonformal adult education, and the dynamics of community and household engagement in local schooling.
This volume highlights the most commonly espoused recommendations for improved educational policy and practice which have emerged from ERNWACA research. Also considered are the caveats of past research and directions for future research as indicated by these studies. In the final chapter, attention is devoted to the role of ERNWACA in fostering an environment that facilitates improvements in research training, collaboration, and dissemination in West and Central Africa.
This synthesis of the ERNWACA state-of-the-art reviews intends to contribute to the enhanced prominence of African educational research. Besides revealing a resilience in the spirit of inquiry among African students and scholars of education, it demonstrates the strength of African research in lending fresh insights into educational scholarship and the discourse of educational practice and policy-making in African countries.Catégories : Etudes Transnationales - Transnational Studies En ligne : http://www.rocare.org/Overlooked and Undervalued.pdf Format de la ressource électronique : Overlooked and Undervalued: A Synthesis of ERNWACA Reviews on the State of Education Research in West and Central Africa [texte imprimé] / ERNWACA

Titre : 2) Synthesis of findings from 10 interdisciplinary research projects conducted by young researchers on the quality of education in West and Central Africa Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : ERNWACA Editeur : Bamako, Mali : ERNWACA Année de publication : 2003 Note générale : Synthesis of findings from 10 interdisciplinary research projects conducted by young researchers on the quality of education in West and Central Africa
Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : ERNWACA Small Grants Program for Education Research mobilizes 30 young researchers, senior researchers as mentors, and national institutions as partners
ERNWACA launched the first edition of its Small Grants Program for Education Research from its regional coordination based in Bamako, Mali, in October 2001 with a Call for Proposals. Over a period of 10 months in 2002, interdisciplinary teams of young researchers and education specialists conducted 10 research projects aimed at finding ways to improve the quality of education. Themes were prioritized by ERNWACA’s national coordinators from a dozen countries at their 2002 Dakar Strategy Session. The research was conducted in Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, the Ivory Coast, The Gambia, Ghana, Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, and Togo. It was funded by the International Development Research Center (IDRC).
The objective was to improve national and regional research capacity by creating the opportunity for young researchers, with support from more senior researchers, to produce quality research that responds to the expressed needs of organizations likely to use its results, and to positively impact the evolution of educational policies and practices in West and Central Africa.

Titre : ERNWACA 2005-2010 Strategic Action Plan Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : ERNWACA Editeur : Bamako, Mali : ERNWACA Année de publication : 2005 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé :
ERNWACA is a unique regional networking instrument that, with broader support, could better contribute to human development, regional integration and sustainable economic growth in Africa. Founded in 1989 in Freetown by highly trained African researchers with a strong desire to make their expertise available for the development of national educational systems, ERNWACA now counts over 250 active member researchers in 13 member countries in West and Central Africa and is growing, in terms of member countries and number of member researchers and diversity of disciplines, professional backgrounds and partner institutions.
ERNWACA invests heavily in learn-by-doing research capacity-building, across geographic, linguistic and disciplinary boundaries and feeds research findings into national public and policy dialogue processes. In so doing ERNWACA contributes to increased research and policy analysis capacity, particularly in institutions of higher learning in Africa, and provides evidence-based information for decision making regarding educational policy and practice.
Over the past 15 years, ERNWACA has learned several lessons in facilitating participatory applied research, in encouraging policy dialogue and in regional networking, which lessons will be reinvested in implementing ERNWACA’s 2005-2010 action plan, articulated around three strategic objectives:
• Reinforce Ernwaca research capacity and quality of processes and products;
• Develop Ernwaca culture of communication and publication;
• Strengthen Ernwaca national coordinations and increase financial autonomy.
In its effort to solidify and Africanize its funding base, ERNWACA is seeking support for both its 2005-2007 and 2008-2010 budgetary cycles. Such support will allow Ernwaca to continue to provide independent and critical perspective on national educational systems, strengthen Ernwaca as a regional institution, and help improve the conditions for education research and dissemination in Africa.

Titre : Contributions of non formal education to HIV prevention education in Nigeria: case study and inventory of NGO practices Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Odukoya, D, Auteur; Busari, Temi, Auteur; Ateh-Abang, A Editeur : Bamako, Mali : ERNWACA Année de publication : 2006 Note générale : Contributions of non formal education to HIV prevention education in Nigeria: case study and inventory of NGO practices
With support of UNESCO Institute for Education, Hamburg, GermanyLangues : Français (fre) Résumé : This paper is concerned with the need to address the fact that with over 5% of the population of Nigeria infected with HIV, and the adult mortality rate continuing to rise, Nigeria is now at a potentially explosive stage of the epidemic. In particular it is concerned with the role of Non- Formal Education (NFE) in combating the spread of HIV/AIDS.
It begins by first outlining the numerous positive steps taken by the following organisations: the Nigerian Government, the education sector, Federal Parastatals, civil society, non-governmental organisations and donor agencies. Key target populations are then identified to clarify how HIV/AIDS preventive education can be integrated into existing NFE programmes.
Three case studies on the Association for Reproductive and Family Health then follow showing how NFE can rapidly communicate HIV/AIDS prevention messages, effecting lasting behavioural change in people of all age groups and social classes, literate or not, and providing real hope of controlling the spread of the virus.
The first case study is concerned with The Expanded Life Planning Education Project (ELPE) a programme of NFE in schools dealing with human development, relationships, sex, family life and personal skills. The goal is to improve the sexual and reproductive health of adolescents in Oyo State, and it concludes in particular that young people acting as peer educators can be agents of change if their skills, talents and energies are properly channelled.
The success of the second project, "HIV surveillance in four markets in Oyo State", is significant in that market communities represent all social classes with a large number of their members being non-literate.
The third study, aimed at promoting positive reproductive health practices amongst out-of-school youth in Yemetu, an indigenous community with characteristics of a poor urban environment, illustrates that core traditional communities can be affected positively.
With over 500 NGO´s using NFE approaches to combat the spread of HIV in Nigeria there is a clear need for their efforts to be coordinated. The paper concludes with an inventory of the main NGO´s and agencies using NFE interventions in Nigeria.Catégories : Recherche VIH SIDA - HIV AIDS Research En ligne : http://hivaidsclearinghouse.unesco.org/ev.php?ID=6784_201&ID2=DO_TOPIC Contributions of non formal education to HIV prevention education in Nigeria: case study and inventory of NGO practices [texte imprimé] / Odukoya, D, Auteur; Busari, Temi, Auteur; Ateh-Abang, A . - Mali : Bamako, Mali : ERNWACA, 2006.

Titre : Education Research Response to HIV/AIDS in West and Central Africa Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : ERNWACA Editeur : Bamako, Mali : ERNWACA Année de publication : 2004 Note générale : Education Research Response to HIV/AIDS in West and Central Africa
ERNWACA and IIEP Regional Workshop.16-18 June, Bamako, Mali (Disponible en français)Langues : Français (fre) Résumé : HIV/AIDS has hit Africa hard with infection rates are as high as 36% in Botswana and 38% in Swaziland. Can ERNWACA member countries, where HIV infection rates vary from .5% in Senegal to 9.7% in Cote d’Ivoire and 11.8% in Cameroon adopt a strategic response and curb its impact on development and in particular on educational systems? What contribution has educational research made and where should it go from here?
These questions were among those debated at the regional workshop organized by the Educational Research Network for West and Central Africa (ERNWACA) and UNESCO’s International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP, Paris) in Bamako from 16-18 June 2004, under the auspices of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health of Mali.
About thirty persons attended (34% women), including 10 ERNWACA researchers from seven member countries, policymakers from Mali, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Mali, and Nigeria, representatives from teacher unions, and other partners including UNESCO and UNAIDS, the Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA), the new Mobile Task Team (MTT) for West Africa, the Family and Schooling in Africa (FASAF) research network of the Union for African Population Study (UAPS), the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the ADEA Working Group on Education Sector Analysis (WGESA).
ERNWACA researchers presented reviews of HIV/AIDS and education policies, strategies, and research from six member countries – Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal. This review of literature covering the past 5 to 10 years, conducted in 2003 and early 2004, showed that:
• HIV/AIDS contributes to absenteeism and death of teachers, students, and education administrative personnel and threatens the quality of teaching and learning;
• though national policies are still being developed, most countries have put in place structures and strategies to deal with HIV/AIDS, including in the education sector; • youth are particularly vulnerable to HIV/AIDS, especially girls;
• preventive education has been attempted, with mixed results;
• care for those infected and affected with AIDS diverts resources from other programs;
• current interventions are uncoordinated;
• actions to mitigate the impact on educational systems have not been undertaken;
• statistics on the impact of HIV/AIDS on educational systems are incomplete and weak;
• current research is fragmented and does not appear to inform national policy.
After reviewing the literature and identifying information gaps, researchers, policymakers and practitioners agreed that research is required in the following areas:
• Impact of HIV/AIDS on teachers and administrative personnel and teacher management;
• Situation of infected and affected learners, particularly orphans;
• Evaluation of strategies to teach prevention including peer education and life skills approach;
Role, influence and involvement of local actors and partners (families, PTAs, NGOs, community leaders, etc.).
The workshop is part of a process that began with ERNWACA’s decision to work on HIV/AIDS and should culminate in the appropriation and implementation of its regional research agenda.
• In March 2001, researchers from six ERNWACA member countries attended the first regional conference on HIV/AIDS and education, organized by UNESCO in collaboration with the ministry of education of Ghana, in Elmina. The objective of the conference was to move toward a regional strategy.
• At its February 2002 Dakar Strategy Session, ERNWACA developed its 2002-2010 work plan and the impact of HIV/AIDS on education was identified as second of eight priority research issues.
• In 2003, ERNWACA began to implement its HIV/AIDS and education work plan in collaboration with the International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP/UNESCO, Paris). Almost 100 policy and research documents from five ERNWACA member countries were collected, abstracted, numerised from a regional hub in Bamako.
• In 2004, ERNWACA synthesized the findings of the document collection and shared them at the June workshop in Bamako where a regional research agenda was elaborated;
• In 2005, ERNWACA plans to partner to undertake transnational research that will help national policymakers better understand the specific impacts of HIV/AIDS on educational systems and know effective responses.
Because the fight against HIV/AIDS requires a united front, ERNWACA is creating a task force for HIV/AIDS and education research in West and Central Africa and plans to collaborate with national, regional, and international partners to reinforce researcher capacity on HIV/AIDS and education issue and produce new and reliable information for educational planning in the context of HIV/AIDS.Catégories : Recherche VIH SIDA - HIV AIDS Research En ligne : http://hivaidsclearinghouse.unesco.org/ev.php?ID=4582_201&ID2=DO_TOPIC Education Research Response to HIV/AIDS in West and Central Africa [texte imprimé] / ERNWACA

Titre : HIV/AIDS and the Education Sector in Ghana Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Baku, J.K. Joshua, Auteur Editeur : Bamako, Mali : ERNWACA Année de publication : 2004 Note générale : HIV/AIDS and the Education Sector in Ghana
Review of policy and research documents, 1999-2003Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : The national population census of year 2000 (GSS, 2000) put the population of Ghana at 18.6 million with a growth rate of 2.5%. It is a youthful population with 52.2% aged less than 20 years with more than 80% of them under 15 years. Three documents, MOE (2000), ERNWACA/Ghana (2001) and Baku (2001) suggest that the Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) epidemic poses a major threat to this youthful population, especially to the category of adolescents and youth aged 10–24 years, who form the majority of the Ghanaian population. Their views were not derived from any concrete evidence produced within the country but on the experiences in some other countries with more serious situations in hand. A similar view is strongly articulated by Caseley-Hayford (2001), who insists that young people, especially girls and young women, aged 15–24 years, are particularly phenomena, according to her, are particularly pronounced on Sub-Saharan Africa, which has only 11% of the world’s population, and yet accounts for about 70% of people living with AIDS in the world.
Until a few years ago, the average Ghanaian treated HIV/AIDS with nonchalance, due mainly to ignorance and perhaps also the secrecy syndrome surrounding the disease which invariably denied many people the opportunity to see an AIDS patient physically (MOE 2000, Fayorsey, 2002, Kelly M.J., 2001, World Education and USAID 2002, ERNWACA/Ghana 2001). As may be expected, many people, according to some of these authors, therefore thought the HIV/AIDS alarms were either a myth or relevant to some other far away countries. The closest the average Ghanaian, in those days, associated the HIV/AIDS pandemic with himself/herself, was in relationship with prostitutes who had returned from Abidjan, Lome or Lagos. Similar beliefs are still held in some rural areas even today. Personal risk perception was and is, therefore, very low with a correspondingly high risk behaviour.
Ghana’s HIV/AIDS prevalence rate was estimated in the year 2000 to be 4.6% (Casely-Hayford, Baku, Osafo and MOE). In 2002, it was reported to drop to 3.4% but rose again to 3.4% in 2003. Though these figures were below the rate of some other nations in Sub-Saharan Africa at that time, it was still alarming, particularly because the statistic represented only reported and known cases. Statistical indications suggest a progressive trend of increasing rates of HIV infection among the Ghanaian populace. Fast and aggressive action from government and all stakeholders in a ‘multi-sectoral collaborative manner’ to prevent the epidemic from racing out of control was, therefore, urgently required.Catégories : Recherche VIH SIDA - HIV AIDS Research:ERNWACA/IIEP Collaboration - Ghana En ligne : http://hivaidsclearinghouse.unesco.org/ev.php?ID=4683_201&ID2=DO_TOPIC HIV/AIDS and the Education Sector in Ghana [texte imprimé] / Baku, J.K.

HIV/AIDS and the Education Sector in Ghana
Review of policy and research documents, 1999-2003
Langues : Anglais (eng)
Résumé : The national population census of year 2000 (GSS, 2000) put the population of Ghana at 18.6 million with a growth rate of 2.5%. It is a youthful population with 52.2% aged less than 20 years with more than 80% of them under 15 years. Three documents, MOE (2000), ERNWACA/Ghana (2001) and Baku (2001) suggest that the Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) epidemic poses a major threat to this youthful population, especially to the category of adolescents and youth aged 10–24 years, who form the majority of the Ghanaian population. Their views were not derived from any concrete evidence produced within the country but on the experiences in some other countries with more serious situations in hand. A similar view is strongly articulated by Caseley-Hayford (2001), who insists that young people, especially girls and young women, aged 15–24 years, are particularly phenomena, according to her, are particularly pronounced on Sub-Saharan Africa, which has only 11% of the world’s population, and yet accounts for about 70% of people living with AIDS in the world.

Titre : A synthesis of studies of Madrasssas and other Quranic Schooling Centres in Gambia, Mali, Niger and Senegal Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Laouali Malam Moussa, Auteur; Benett, Yves, Auteur Editeur : Bamako, Mali : ERNWACA Année de publication : 2007 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : This report is based on a study of Madrassas and other Quranic Schooling Centres (QSCs) in Gambia, Mali, Niger and Sénégal, respectively. The study was commissioned by UNESCO and was undertaken by an ERNWACA cross-national research team.
The aim of the study was to describe and analyse how Madrassas and other QSCs (referred to as “schools”) facilitate access to Basic Education (in particular to literacy and livelihood skills), in order for UNESCO to promote the good practices observed in such educational institutions.
The methods used in each country were: (a) a Desk Study of relevant documents (b) a Baseline Survey of a sample of 105 Madrassas and 79 other QSCs, stratified by country and socio-economic area (rural/urban) (c) two Case Studies: one of a Madrassa and one of a QSC, and (d) Focus Group interviews, as appropriate.
For the Baseline Survey and the Case Studies, relevant data were collected by means of (a) a structured Self-Completion Questionnaire for the Managers of the sampled institutions and (b) semi-structured, on-site, individual interviews of a sample of Managers, teachers and other stakeholders. Both the questionnaire data and the interview data were appropriately analysed and, in each country, the Madrassas and the other QSCs together were taken to constitute a sector of the Islamic Education System.

Titre : ICT and Changing Mindsets in Education , Edited by Kathryn Toure, Therese M.S. Tchombe, Thierry Karsenti Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : ERNWACA Editeur : Bamako, Mali : ERNWACA Année de publication : 2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : ICT and Changing Mindsets in Education , Edited by Kathryn Toure, Therese M.S. Tchombe, Thierry Karsenti
The debate is no longer whether to use information and communication technologies (ICT) in education in Africa but how to do so, and how to ensure equitable access for teachers and learners, whether in urban or rural settings. This is a book about how Africans adopt and adapt ICT. It is also about how ICT shape African schools and classrooms. Why do we use ICT, or not? Do girls and boys use them in the same ways? How are teachers and students in primary and secondary schools in Africa using ICT in teaching and learning? How does the process transform relations among learners, educators and knowledge construction?
This collection by 19 researchers from Africa, Europe, and North America explores these questions from a pedagogical perspective and specific socio-cultural contexts. Many of the contributors draw on learning theory and survey data from 36 schools, 66000 students and 3000 teachers. The book is rich in empirical detail on the perceived importance and appropriation of ICT in the development of education in Africa. It critically examines the potential for creative use of ICT to question habits, change mindsets, and deepen practice. The contributions are in both English and French.Catégories : Recherche TIC - ICT Research En ligne : http://www.amazon.com/Changing-Mindsets-Education-Kathryn-Toure/dp/9956558265/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1216681607&sr=8-1 ICT and Changing Mindsets in Education , Edited by Kathryn Toure, Therese M.S.
