Action Research to Improve Youth and Adult Literacy: Empowering Learners in a Multilingual World
Hassana Alidou and Christine Glanz (Eds.)
UIL, 2015, 220 pages
ISBN 978-92-820-1192-8
One of the greatest challenges in education today is to adapt and respond to a linguistically and culturally diverse world, and to combat social disintegration and discrimination. Participatory and collaborative action research represents an empowering and emancipatory approach to this challenge because the ‘target groups' become involved as equal partners. This book provides guidance for trainers of youth and adult educators and for those who manage non-formal education and curriculum development programmes in youth and adult literacy. It is also aimed at publishers and authors who want to improve their services and products by collaborating more closely with their readerships.

In the context of UNESCO's Capacity Development Programme for Education for All, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and UNESCO developed a normative framework with a sector-wide approach to education. In view of the current international interest in lifelong learning policies, the creation of such a normative framework is of interest to many countries. This publication shares the reflections and analysis undertaken with the three ministries in charge of primary, secondary, vocational and higher education and non-formal youth and adult education. It analyses the national context and the constraints that emerge from it for the organization of education, reviews existing norms and their application, and discusses challenges and perspectives.

Based on desk research and field work, this study discusses
progress and challenges in five African countries relating
to the development of formal education, non-formal
education and informal learning. It reflects on the porous
boundaries that exist between these sectors and highlights
six key issues that affect the operationalization of lifelong
learning: conceptual understandings of lifelong learning;
recognition of learning achievements; the role of counselling
and guidance; teachers and facilitators; financial resources
and infrastructure; and coordination among stakeholders.
The lessons learned from the study are summarized in ten
recommendations for further action and reform.
