| description |
Since 2003, over 220 million books have
been distributed in primary schools in global partnership
for education (GPE) countries. Despite this, a few years
ago, a World Bank study highlighted the fact that there
simply aren't enough textbooks for most students in
Africa, and what is available is too expensive. The main
objective of the this course is to equip anyone in a
position to advise, administer, or design a book provision
project with the necessary knowledge in order to make the
appropriate input and right decisions. The focus throughout
is on how to get affordable books to school children when
and where needed. It is designed to be a practical resource
that covers the key issues encountered in textbook
provision, ranging from authorship through national
publishing infrastructure to pricing, and distribution. The
course is organized in 12 modules under four sections:
understanding the textbook industry; book acquisition
strategies; distribution strategies; and policy and
practice. It provides functional knowledge of the workings
of the book industry and its role in supporting learning and
education. This will include detailed study of the work that
publishers, printers, and distributors do. It also focuses
on how the book industry costs books and the methods and
trade-offs governments have to make in financing textbooks
and supplementary readers. |
