Too often, policy for vocational
education in developing countries has only concerned itself
with a literate minority within the labor force. This study
helps to widen that view. From the perspective of "
Education for All " and " Lifelong Education,
" the report examines efforts to combine vocational
training with literacy education, to enable a very poor,
illiterate labor force, especially rural women, to develop
more productive livelihoods and take on increasingly active
roles in transforming their families and communities. The
aim is to assess whether and how official policy should
support such efforts. Based on documentary evidence from
several countries, particularly Guinea, Kenya, Senegal, and
Uganda, the report suggests that vocational education policy
should encompass out-of-school, and illiterate youth and
adults, but to be effective would require gradualism,
decentralization, capacity building, flexibility, and
components of savings, credit, and enterprise development. |
