Education for All (EFA) has been a top priority for governments
and intergovernmental development agencies for the last twenty
years. So far the global EFA movement has placed its principal
focus on providing quality universal primary education (UPE) for
all children by 2015.
The latest addition to The Open and Flexible Learning series,
this book addresses the new challenges created by both the
successes and the failures of the UPE campaign. This book advocates
new approaches for providing access to secondary education for
today's rapidly growing population of children and young adults and
examines:
- the creation and expansion of Mega-Schools, which combine
distance learning and community support and have a proven track
record of increasing access at scale
- how to prepare the ten-million new teachers that are required
to achieve Education for All by 2015 by focusing on classroom-based
in-service training
- strategies for using technology to scale up distance education
cost-effectively
- the creation of a twenty-first century educational ecosystem
that integrates open schooling and teacher education with
communities and their school systems
- successful examples of open schools and teacher education
programmes operating at scale around the world.
Readers will be delighted to find that Sir John Daniel,
bestselling Routledge author of Mega Universities and Knowledge
Media, delivers another insightful and practical book on
educational technology. Mega-Schools, Technology and Teachers will
be of interest to all who are concerned by the central educational
challenge of our times: providing secondary education to tens of
millions of young people around the world.
