| Abstract: | This volume contains two papers. In the first paper, 'Education-for-employment and self-employment interventions in developing countries: past experience and present prognosis', presented at the seminar on education and training for employment in the SADCC countries at Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, in 1989, the author discusses education and training systems in East, Central and Southern Africa. Countries in these regions have made many innovations in their education and training systems since independence. The result is that they are no longer recognizably the same as in the late colonial period. In the second paper, 'Technical and vocational education and training in Kenya: the movement towards a comprehensive national system', presented at the policy seminar on the implementation of the sessional paper on education and manpower training (Mombasa, Kenya, 1989), the author examines some of the rationales for vocationalization, issues of implementation, as well as research gaps, in what has become a much more complex technical and vocational education and training system. |
