In many African countries, technical and vocational education and training (TVET) is considered a means to stimulate strategic economic growth. In order to render TVET more in line with market demands, governments increasingly promote the competence-based education (CBE) approach. In this chapter, the Central African country Rwanda is studied as an exemplary case for sub-Saharan Africa in how they apply CBE. Through competence-based curriculum development and teacher training, a centralised...

Abstract: As information and communication technology becomes a regular feature of the educational environment, it may be difficult for teaching and learning activities especially in TVET institutions to remain unchallenged. However, ICT application as a pedagogical tool in Nigerian TVET institutions is not a common practice and it also remains unclear how utilisation of ICT enhances pedagogy. This study is interested in the availability of electronic courses using ICT infrastructure in...

Open and distance learning (ODL) and information and communication technologies (ICTs) are viewed by many policy makers, at both national and institutional levels, as a potentially cost-effective means of tackling the challenges of access, equity and quality in education. Sound and rigorous financial planning is essential for governments and institutions seeking to harness these methods, but unfortunately there has been little analysis of the costs of such provision in the Technical and...

In recent years, organisations such as the African Development Bank (AfDB), and several African governments have conceded that TVET may have a positive impact on harnessing the youth dividend. There has been some progress in some countries, but there is still insufficient understanding of the place of TVET and youth skills development. The criticisms of TVET in the past, and attitudes toward it, coupled with a period of neglect by governments and donors have all resulted in insufficient...

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...

By adequately equipping nurses to identify, intervene and care for emergency conditions, emergency healthcare systems can be strengthened.

The aim of this international emergency nursing group was to develop a guiding document to help improve emergency nursing skills within Africa. Using this guiding...

This has helped consolidate a fruitful line of research focusing on measuring the impact that these programs have on participating students' entrepreneurship potential. However, to date, these programs have almost exclusively centered on more developed countries. The present work, on the contrary, analyses the impact of an entrepreneurship promotion program carried out for a period of three years...
