This paper critically reviews the youth unemployment crisis in resource-rich Sub-Saharan Africa.

This handbook is the HANDBOOK FOR PD COORDINATORS for Theme 4, focusing on group work.

If activities in the college classrooms are centred on the tutor, then the student teachers do not get enough time to be active: they do not have the opportunity to try, to demonstrate...
