Faith
1. First the general orientation of education reforms in Africa must be founded on a long term view that
gives coherence and continuity to the concrete changes to be undertaken. Education must be prioritized
in planning and financing and linked to the needs generated by scientific and technological changes in
the global world.
2. Second, policies must be oriented toward equitable access for all and accelerated progress toward
universal primary education.
3. Third, there is need to efficiently respond to the increased demand for education. This will imply
decentralization of school construction and management to ensure community participation; and
revision of the curricula to match the skills that young people will require to meet the needs of the
current socioeconomic context.
4. Fourth, there is need to broaden technical education and professional training in order to address the
needs of the economies that are largely dominated by the informal sector.
5. Finally, there is need to re-legitimize the public service mission of higher education and research so as to redirect the teaching, training and research toward an applied emphasis on the identification,
evaluation and development of the potential and strengths of national development.
