In late 1988, on the occasion of its 25th anniversary celebration, the International Institute for Educational Planning organized an international workshop to review the major problems faced by education today and to consider the future of educational planning worldwide. The workshop brought together researchers, planners, and specialists from all ideological, political, and geographical horizons to tackle topics such as the influence of economic and social change on education, educational finance difficulties, declining educational quality, preparation for employment, educational management issues, and educational planning prospects. This volume includes a selection of workshop papers, including a "Synthesis Report of the Workshop" (Francoise Caillods); "The Economic and Socio-Cultural Situation in Socialist Countries with Particular Emphasis on the USSR" (George Skorov); "The Financing of Education: Impact of the Crisis and the Adjustment Process" (Claude Tibi); "Teaching and Learning Conditions in Developing Countries" (Francoise Caillods and T. Neville Postlethwaite); "Universities and Development in Africa: Problems and Challenges for Planning" (Miala Diambomba); "Education, Work, and Employment: Present Issues and Future Challenges in Developed Countries" (Henry M. Levin and Russell W. Rumberger; "The Economics of Education: A More Than Slightly Jaundiced View of Where We Are Now" (Steven J. Klees); "The Role of the State in Education" (Juan Carlos Tedesco); and "Does Education Need Strategic Planning?" (Sylvain Lourie). Each chapter is followed by numerous bibliographic references. Appendices contain lists of participants and of 25th anniversary booklets. (MLH)

Le terme promotion de la santé en Afrique, près de 30 ans après l'adoption de la Charte d'Ottawa, continue d'avoir des connotations complètement hors du sens que lui confère cette charte. Cela n'est pas étonnant quand on sait que la notion de santé dans ce contexte africain équivaut à la lutte contre la maladie à travers les soins de santé dispensés par des professionnels de la santé dans des formations sanitaires et les hôpitaux. L'évolution que connait le continent depuis quelques décennies est de donner un peu plus de place à la communauté à travers les relais communautaires dans une participation communautaire vidée de son contenu, car le pouvoir n'est jamais passé entre les mains des communautés.C'est au vu de tout ceci que le présent ouvrage à sa raison d'être pour expliquer les fondements de l'autonomisation communautaire et de la promotion de la santé avec leur importance pour la région africaine en proie aux mauvais indicateurs de santé comparativement aux autres régions du monde.

Despite various decades of research and claim-making by feminist scholars and movements, gender remains an overlooked area in development studies. Looking at key issues in development studies through the prisms of gender and feminism, the authors demonstrate that gender is an indispensable tool for social change.

Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.

The effective use of educational assessments is fundamental to improving learning. However, effective use does not refer only to the technical parameters or statistical methodologies. Learning assessments in use todaywhether large-scale or household surveys or hybrid (smaller, quicker, cheaper or SQC)have varied uses and purposes. The present volume provides a review of learning assessments, their status in terms of the empirical knowledge base, and some new ideas for improving their effectiveness, particularly for those children most in need. It is argued here that SQC learning assessments have the potential to enhance educational accountability, increase transparency, and support a greater engagement of stakeholders with an interest in improving learning. In addition, countries need a sustained policy to guide assessment choices, including a focus on poor and marginalized populations.
