Strengthened research capacity in Africa
Develop research on learning

Be clear on why a strategy has been
recommended and why it is expected to be
effective.
Take into account research outside the WB
Conservative and partial choice
Consider learning as a process (Link Paulo Freire)
learning : acquisition of knowledge and skills (WB definition)
Technical managment approach to classerooms

9. RECOMMENDATION OF SAMOFF
“[…] learning is not simply acquiring
disconnected bits of information to be recalled on
demand but must be rooted in curiosity, concept

development, systematic experimentation,
structured comparison, scientific analysis,
creative insight, problem-solving, and more.”

10. SUMMARY
It is a critic of the World Bank’s 2020 education
strategy (World Bank, 2011)
Monique, Camille, Seme, 2013
Education for all Vs schooling for all
What do they find ?
Overcrowded classrooms
Poorly equipped facilities, insufficient instructional
materials,
Teachers who are both over-worked and under-prepared
In some places parents are saying : what is the point
of all the effort to get children into schools where
they do not learn?
Leads to exclusion

11. DISCUSSION
From schooling for all to learning for
Monique, Camille, Seme, 2013
all, how do we balance the two concept
with limited ressources ?
