ATELIER DE FORMATION DES ENQUÊTEURS POUR LA RÉALISATION DE L’ENQUÊTE PILOTE DU 18 AU 24 MAI 2024 À SIKASSO, RÉPUBLIQUE DU MALI

La phase II de la Recherche-Action sur la Mesure des Apprentissages des bénéficiaires des programmes d’Alphabétisation (RAMAAII), a développé un guide qui donne des instructions pour élaborer des items permettant de mesurer les compétences et connaissances.

En 2019 (du 28 août au 24 septembre), le Mali, avec l’appui de son partenaire financier, la Direction du développement et de la coopération (DDC)-Suisse, a organisé et tenu un atelier technique pour élaborer des items et un questionnaire biographique et de contexte permettant de mesurer les compétences et connaissances issues des programmes d’alphabétisation, conformément aux instructions données dans ce guide.

Au terme de cet atelier, les participants se sont non seulement approprié le contenu du guide en question, mais ils ont aussi et surtout élaborés :

  • § des items pour évaluer les compétences langagières des processus cognitifs : Identification des mots, vocabulaire, compréhension en lecture et orthographe ;
  • § des items pour évaluer les compétences en numérative des processus cognitifs : calcul mathématique, mesure et résolutions de problèmes ;
  • § des items pour évaluer les connaissances dans les domaines de la citoyenneté, de la santé, de l’environnement et du développement socio-économique ;
  • § un questionnaire biographique et de contexte à l’entrée et à la sortie

Pour les besoins de l’enquête pilote à réaliser, instruction a été donnée par L'Institut de l'UNESCO pour l'apprentissage tout au long de la vie (UIL) d’élaborer des outils en langues nationales pour la réalisation de l’enquête pilote. Chaque pays devant déterminer le nombre de langues nationales pour ce travail d’élaboration.

Le présent atelier de formation porte sur la formation des enquêteurs à la passation des outils RAMAA pour l’enquête pilote.

Formation des Bâtisseurs de Paix en Afrique 2024

Le cycle de formation « Formation des Bâtisseurs de paix en Afrique » est un projet de renforcement de capacités des acteurs de paix dans un nombre de pays en Afrique francophone en vue de la promotion de la paix, la gestion non-violente de conflits et un développement sensible aux conflits.

Dans beaucoup de pays d’Afrique, il existe des programmes de promotion de la paix et de sensibilité aux conflits. Ce travail pour la paix nécessite des stratégies adaptées à un contexte précis et une gestion efficace orientée vers un changement personnel, relationnel, structurel ainsi que culturel.

Pour les collaborateurs francophones des projets de paix (nationaux et internationaux), les occasions de se former dans le domaine de « paix, réconciliation et gestion civile de conflits » sont rares. C’est pourquoi nous avons commencé dès 2011 à offrir des modules de formation des bâtisseurs de paix en Afrique. Ces formations ont eu lieu en août 2011, mars 2014 et août 2021 à Bujumbura, en novembre 2017 à Kigali, en janvier 2013, janvier 2016 et août 2019 à Ouagadougou/Burkina Faso et en février 2022 et septembre 2022 à Yaoundé. Ces formations sont ouvertes à des participants travaillant dans des projets de paix de tous les pays francophones en Afrique ou à d’autres participants intéressés.

Le programme est composé de plusieurs modules. L'inscription se fait par module.

Educationist John Samuel has contributed exceptionally to public life and the well-being of society at large as a leader at the heart of South Africa’s educational development over his lifetime.

Between 1965 and 1975 he was a teacher, education administrator and policy specialist, working in the secondary and post - secondary school systems in Zambia, England, Ghana and Nigeria. In 1979 he was appointed as the Executive Director the Southern African Council of Higher Education (SACHED). SACHED developed into one of the most innovative and pioneering independent education organisations in the country in the 1980s. Building on its long and successful legacy of developing alternatives to apartheid education, SACHED pioneered new developments in such areas as publishing, distance education, mass education through the newspaper, tutorial and support work for students.

As a result of this work, he was approached to head up the ANC’s Education Department during the transition years, playing a critical role through the establishment of the Centre for Education Policy Development and Constitutional working committee in mobilising education research for change and drafting the education clauses of the Constitution.

Between 1994 and 1997 he was appointed to the first Nelson Mandela government Education Department as DDG for Education Policy and Planning, in which capacity he again played a key role in mobilising research forces and crafting new legislation to sweep away the apartheid inheritance. From 1997 he became active in the work of the Kellogg Foundation, with which he developed a programme for rural education.

From 2000-March 2006 he was appointed Chief Executive to the Nelson Mandela Foundation. Under his leadership the foundation commissioned three major national studies that influenced policy development in this country and internationally, including Emerging Voices (2003-2004). This dealt with the critical challenges of rural schooling. The work resulted in the former Minister of Education setting up a rural school forum to develop strategies to tackle these challenges. He founded the Centre for Memory that became the Nelson Mandela Archives. He also launched the 46664 Concerts, a global platform for a major Aids Awareness Campaign, harnessing the commitment and interest of popular musicians and singers from around the world.

John Samuel is a person whose contribution to education in South Africa over time has been exceptional and deserves recognition. Please attend his lecture.
