这是关于撒哈拉以南非洲为实现教育发展所作努力的第一份全面研究报告。这项研究的三个目标是：1）确定和描述非洲教育发展的共同问题; 2）为每个国家的领导人提供比较数据和分析工具，以制定自己的政策和优先事项; 3）提出具体的政策方向，供国家教育当局和捐助者考虑。该研究报告包括三个主要部分：⑴政策背景; ⑵非洲各国政府的政策选择; ⑶行动议程。到独立时，撒哈拉以南非洲政府继承了不充分的教育系统-1960年至1983年期间，入学人数达到约6300万人，在1970年代增加了约9%，成人识字率从9%增加到42%。然而，这些成果现在受到人口迅速增长的威胁。在过去的十年里，“入学率停滞不前，教育质量下降”，这要求政府在教育政策上进行“深刻”的改革。最低限度的教育政策改革一揽子计划需要包含“调整、振兴和有选择的扩大”。“无论采取何种调整措施来减轻教育和培训对公共预算的“负担”，都不足以为非洲教育系统提供其未来发展所需的基本工具。国际捐助界需要提供三种支持：1）种子资金; 2）与其他国家合作的机会; 3）与特定政府无关的高质量专业技术知识的机会。
This is the first comprehensive study on Sub-Saharan Africas (SSA) efforts at attaining educational development. The 3 objectives of the study were to: 1) identify and describe common problems and issues of educational development in Africa; 2) provide leaders in each country with comparative data and analytical tools to develop their own policies and priorities; and 3) suggest specific policy directions for consideration by national education authorities and donors. The study includes 3 major sections: 1) The Policy Context; 2) Policy Options for African Governments; and 3) An Agenda for Action. By independence SSA governments has inherited inadequate educational systems--between 1960- 1983 enrollment reached about 63 million increasing about 9% during the 1970s increasing adult literacy from 9% to 42%. However these gains are now threatened by the rapidly growing population. The past decade has seen "stagnation in enrollments and erosion in the quality of education" requiring governments to introduce "profound" changes in educational policy. The minimum educational policy reform packages need to contain "adjustment revitalization and selective expansion." Whatever adjustment measures are made to alleviate the "burden" of education and training on public budgets will not be sufficient to provide the African educational system with the essential tools needed for its future development. The international donor community needs to provide 3 kinds of support: 1) seed money; 2) access to collaboration with other countries; and 3) access to high-quality specialized technical expertise without ties to a particular government.
