The Development of Technical and Vocational Education in Africa.

The 13 chapters in this book depict the challenges facing African nations in their efforts to develop their technical and vocational education (TVE) systems. Chapter 1, "TVE in Africa: A Synthesis of Case Studies" (B. Wanjala Kerre), presents a synthesis of the case studies in which the following major trends taking place within the existing socioeconomic context are discussed: TVE within existing educational structures; cooperation between TVE institutions and enterprises; major challenges facing the nations in their efforts to develop TVE; and the innovative measures undertaken in response to the problems and constraints experienced. The remaining 12 chapters are individual case studies giving a more detailed picture of natural efforts and challenges encountered in the development of TVE. Chapters 2-8 focus on the role of TVE in educational systems: "TVE in Cameroon" (Lucy Mbangwana); "TVE in Congo" (Gilbert Ndimina); "TVE in Ghana" (F. A. Baiden); "TVE in Kenya" (P. O. Okaka); "TVE in Madagascar" (Victor Monantsoa); "TVE in Nigeria" (Egbe T. Ehiametalor); and "TVE in Zimbabwe" (N. N. Munetsi). Chapters 9-13 address policy and legislation in TVE to enhance cooperation with the world of work: "Education, Training, and Employment in Burkina Faso" (Joseph Kabore); "Cooperation between Training Institutions and the Industrial Commercial and Agricultural Enterprises in Cote d'Ivoire" (Aska Kouadio); "Relationship between TVE and Enterprises in Senegal" (Oumar Sock); "Cooperation between TVE Institutions and Enterprises in Swaziland" (B.
