AU Outlook on Education Report: Southern African Development Community (SADC) 2012

This document is the second in a series of reports whose purpose is to review the progress of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region's education sector in implementing the African Union's Plan of Action for the Second Decade of Education.
In the flagship regional report, produced in 2010, only five of the eight priority areas were reviewed. Comprehensive nationally sourced data for two of the areas – curriculum, teaching and learning materials, and technical and vocational education and training (TVET) – were not available, while early childhood development, now the eighth priority area, had not yet been added to the list of priority areas. Data on these three priority areas have since become available and hence have been included in the 2012 report.
