| Summary: | This working paper is based on a
literature review and country case studies in six
Sub-Saharan African countries: Eritrea, Mali, Namibia,
Senegal, South Africa, and Tanzania. It looks at the role
of secondary education and training in promoting health,
civics and life skills among the African youth.
Specifically, this study focuses on examining which
schooling programs are effective in equipping young people
with life skills, which programs reduce dropout and increase
participation and how schools can become agents in tackling
health and social issues. |
