in spite of the importance of TVET for development and a range of national reform initiatives to support TVET over the past two decades, major concerns remain regarding the state of TVET in the Southern African region. These led SADC and UNESCO to intervene through the commissioning of a pilot TVET monitoring tool and a regional review of the state of TVET, with a view to developing a new strategic programme of action for regional cooperation in TVET. As is made clear throughout this report,...

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...

Vocational Education and Training (VET) is offered throughout the world to students of various educational backgrounds and career aspirations in an effort to create a skilled workforce. The structure of VET varies greatly across different fields and countries with high-growth, low-growth, and transitional economies. However, a common critique of many vocational institutions is that they focus on skills training without addressing related business systems. Thus, students may not understand...

The main focus of the study is directed to that part of the system that is under the responsibility of the National Directorate for Technical and Professional Education (DINET) – namely the pre-tertiary level public-sector TVET...

Instructional coaching has improved student outcomes in the United States, and may help to solve Kenya's literacy problems. Coaching is costly, however, and evidence is lacking regarding the most cost-efficient teacher-to-coach ratio. We used student literacy outcome data from more than 8000 students participating in the Kenya Primary Math and Reading Initiative—a randomized controlled trial of instructional interventions in public and nonformal schools—to fill this gap. Coaches in larger...

Studies have been carried out on the use of geographical information systems (GIS) in teacher training, especially in the developed countries. In southern African countries, nevertheless, the scenario is different because GIS education appears to be a rather new field of study. This study therefore used systematic review to collect data. 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 use of ICTs (information and communication technologies) in Zimbabwe’s teacher education colleges is of paramount importance. The teacher trainees have a dual role to play: learning through ICTs and also learning how to teach through them. Interestingly, the rate at which schools have embraced the use of ICTs is unprecedented, but this has not been matched with an equal effort by teacher education colleges and hence teacher trainees have been less exposed and trained in using such...

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....
