Introduction This volume is intended to develop and share knowledge within the southern African region regarding the challenges faced by vocational education and training (VET) systems and the responses to these challenges. Some of these challenges arise out of the history of VET in the region, whilst others relate to current international discourses about VET. The field of VET in southern Africa has been badly neglected. It is very difficult to find an article in the international journals...

For many years, the University of Rostock/Technical Education has supported three universities from Mozambique, Ethiopia and South Africa in their effort to establish a modern educational and further educational programme for VET pedagogues. A Further Education network was established in the first steps. If more German universities support it, this network can expand to various other Sub-Saharan African countries. This still poses the essential question which scientific approach will be the...

This method assists in finding and understanding the outcomes of other research conducted within the same field of study. The results reveal that only three...

The paper employs techniques of multilevel modelling and geographical information systems (GIS) on Malawi’s SACMEQ1 I, II and III data to identify factors affecting pupil performance in primary education of Malawi. The study reveals that in some districts pupils performed much better than others. Whilst in majority of cases the achievement levels of pupils were closely associated with the levels of inputs and services, there were some districts that did not demonstrate a positive correlation....

This study focuses on the socio-cultural and institutional factors that affect female teacher deployment in rural primary schools in Nigeria. In Kwara State, there are extreme imbalances in teacher distribution between rural and urban areas due to female teachers’ active avoidance and/or attrition from rural posts. Given these problems, this article discusses an innovative use of the Capability Approach that informed a rural teacher deployment policy that addressed a number of issues that...
