This book was released on 2008-02-15 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is based on research on secondary textbook and school library provision in Botswana, Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Togo, as well as existing recent country reports on textbook provision and an extensive desk research. Considerable variations exist in Sub-Saharan African textbook requirements needed to meet secondary curriculum specifications just as significant differences exist between and within countries in regard to the average price of recommended textbooks. Some countries have no approved textbooks list. This World Bank Working Paper aims to discuss the textbook situation in Sub-Saharan Africa with a special focus on secondary textbook availability, cost and financing, distribution and publishing, and the status of school libraries. Its objective is to analyze the issues in secondary textbook and school library provision and to provide some options and strategies for improvement.
Book Synopsis Getting Textbooks to Every Child in Sub-Saharan Africa by : Birger Fredriksen
Download or read book Getting Textbooks to Every Child in Sub-Saharan Africa written by Birger Fredriksen and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-05-22 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Textbooks play a key role in enhancing the quality of learning, especially in the context of low-income Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries characterized by large class-size, poorly motivated and inadequately trained teachers, and short effective school years. There are also high rates of illiteracy among parents and few reading materials at home for the student to bank on. Despite extensive investments by governments, the World Bank and other development partners, the majority of students in primary and secondary schools in SSA still lack the benefit of access to textbooks and the key reason for this shortage is affordability: textbooks are generally much more costly in SSA than in other developing regions. The need to increase access to key learning resources is of particular urgency because most African countries experience low learning outcomes which in part contributes to a high drop-out rate. Only two-thirds of those who enter school reach the final grade and only about half of these master basic numeracy and literacy skills. And although quality improvement depends on many factors inside and outside the school, there is wide agreement that availability of textbooks is both an indispensable and a cost-effective way of improving the quality of the learning process. A recent World Bank study examined the actual costs of textbooks, the scope for cost reduction, the portion of a national budget countries allocate to teaching and learning materials (TLMs) and hurdles in the way of making textbooks available to student. Some interesting findings from the study - - The availability of affordable textbooks to all students could be dramatically improved by devoting an estimated 3 to 4 percent of the primary education budget and 6 to 7 percent of the secondary education budget - The production process †“ methods, copyright, length of print runs, effective procurement practices †“ rather than the production costs should be the target of cost saving strategies - The increased integration of ICTs into education in SSA can provide important opportunities for promoting availability of electronic TLMs but electronic TLMs are not a substitute for printed TLMs including textbooks
Book Synopsis Where Have All the Textbooks Gone? by : Tony Read
Download or read book Where Have All the Textbooks Gone? written by Tony Read and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This World Bank report is a rich compilation of information on teaching learning materials (TLM) in Africa based on the extensive and multi-faceted experience of the author's work in the education sector in Africa. The study examines a wide range of issues around TLM provision including curriculum, literacy and numeracy, language of instruction policy, procurement and distribution challenges, TLM development and production and their availability, management and usage in schools. It also looks at the role of information and communication technology (ICT) based TLMs and their availability. The study recognizes that improved TLM system management is a critical component in achieving affordable and sustainable TLM provision for all students. This study, which draws from more than 40 Anglophone, Francophone, Lusophone, and Arabic-speaking countries will be particularly useful for policymakers, development partners, and other stakeholders attempting to understand the wide range of issues surrounding the complexity of textbook provision in Sub Saharan Africa.

Download or read book Fournir des manuels scolaires à tous les enfants d'Afrique subsaharienne written by Birger Fredriksen and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alors même que les pays d’Afrique subsaharienne poursuivent leurs efforts pour améliorer les acquis scolaires de leurs enfants en réformant leur système éducatif, l’accessibilité financière et la disponibilité des manuels continuent de poser de véritables défis. Mais, malgré l’importance du soutien technique et du financement apportés par les partenaires, dont la Banque mondiale, l’accessibilité financière et la disponibilité des manuels restent un objectif difficile à atteindre dans la majorité des pays, tant pour les enseignants que pour les élèves. La plupart des pays africains sont confrontés à de faibles acquis scolaires et de forts taux d’abandon. Deux tiers seulement des enfants scolarisés achèvent leurs études et environ la moitié d’entre eux possèdent des compétences de base en calcul et en lecture. Les manuels scolaires sont généralement considérés comme un moyen indispensable et économique d’améliorer la qualité de l’apprentissage. Fournir des manuels scolaires à tous les enfants d’Afrique subsaharienne : stratégies de lutte contre leur cherté et leur faible disponibilité propose des mesures susceptibles de réduire les coûts des manuels et d’augmenter leur disponibilité. Le présent ouvrage examine en détail les coûts et les obstacles financiers entravant la disponibilité des manuels dans les écoles d’une grande partie de la région, ainsi que les mesures adoptées avec succès dans d’autres pays. Il fournit également une évaluation rigoureuse des avantages et inconvénients des matériels pédagogiques numériques et appelle à la prudence quant à l’idée qu’ils peuvent immédiatement remplacer les manuels imprimés. Conçu pour susciter un débat entre responsables de l’action publique, partenaires de développement et autres parties prenantes d’Afrique, Fournir des manuels scolaires à tous les enfants d’Afrique subsaharienne : stratégies de lutte contre leur cherté et leur faible disponibilité fournit des informations et une analyse à la fois pratiques et pertinentes.
