Proceedings of the Seminar on Curricula Adaptation, Cotonou, Benin, December 1-15, 2005

The aim of the seminar was to stimulate the debate over the development of curricula meeting the current and future needs of African contexts. More specifically, it sought to identify and analyze the challenges raised by such a process, the successful experiences and good practices that should be promoted, and topics that could be documented for purposes of dissemination. Another aim was to constitute a network for sharing experience and knowledge and for defining methodologies and working procedures in the field of curricular reform. Some ten countries in Francophone and Anglophone Africa, as well as many resource persons specializing in educational reform, took part in the seminar.
