ited design possibilities and often little attention for brunettee, professional devel-

however, some countries have learned from the past and have set much more adequate
timelines (for example, botswana and senegal). curriculum development units (either parastatal, or dikdoes

sont faibles au niveau primaire et se retrouvent au secondaire.le manque de supports didactique appliquant
une approche intégrée est un autre obstacle à une mise en oeuvre adéquate. |

matières et domaines d'apprentissage dans le deuxième cycle de l'enseignement secondaire
les deux structures qui dominent les programmes scolaires du deuxième cycle secondaire
en afrique subsaharienne correspondent chacune à une approche différente des compé-
tences de fin de cycle secondaire. |
l'eftp en afrique subsaharienne est fragmenté sur un grand nombre de prestataires privés
offrant des opportunités de formation. l'identification
de la première fin de cycle permettant le passage vers l'eftp constitue la différence
essentielle au sein du modèle dans les pays concernés (section 5. |
|
les cadres de qualifications exhaustifs, actuellement en faveur dans de nombreux pays d'
afrique subsaharienne ou dans le cadre des politiques de la sadc (communauté de
développement de l'afrique australe), sont des initiatives politiques. À cause de nombre
d'implications systémiques, elles compliquent considérablement les efforts d'amélioration
de la qualité des programmes officiels et remettent en cause le besoin majeur d'améliorer
la qualité des programmes dans les salles de classe.
ressources matérielles les installations des établissements scolaires d'afrique subsa-
harienne sont souvent inférieures aux normes, surtout dans les zones rurales qui ne dis-
posent même pas du minimum requis pour permettre un enseignement correct. |
| certains
pays, comme le ghana et l'afrique du sud, ont introduit un système qui oriente une large
part des financements disponibles vers les établissements les moins favorisés. il existe des problèmes similaires en afrique subsaharienne, en
particulier dans les situations où des réformes des programmes sont en cours de mise
en oeuvre. un
soutien semblable est également nécessaire lorsque le contenu des programmes est modi-
fié. il devrait en
particulier en être ainsi dans les phases initiales de mise en oeuvre.
lorsqu'un tel matériel existe, les problèmes qui subsistent dans la plupart des pays de
l'afrique subsaharienne illustrent le fait que les supports pédagogiques ne permettent pas
forcément et automatiquement d'accomplir les objectifs du changement. c'est
pourquoi la qualité des manuels scolaires est d'une importance capitale, tant en termes de
contenu des matières que de processus pédagogiques. |
| ce dernier aspect est souvent absent
des manuels, qui se concentrent principalement sur le contenu.
les manuels sont fournis gratuitement (au botswana) ou payés par les parents. la question des manuels a assénéré une demande au
niveau des éditeurs africains. dans certains pays et pour certaines matières au nigeria et
au ghana par exemple les associations d'enseignants de sciences et mathématiques ont
mis en place des collaborations avec des éditeurs locaux et internationaux.
la sélection des manuels se fait généralement par le truchement de comités mis en
place par le ministère de l'education. le nombre
de livres disponibles pour les élèves semble aussi avoir diminué de manière inacceptable au
cours des dernières années. « les enseignants enseignent pour la réussite aux examens », entend-on souvent dire
en afrique subsaharienne. il en résulte que les enseignants forment les élèves à reproduire
des faits et définitions, ce qui les pousse au « par coeur ».
en ce qui concerne les examens du deuxième cycle secondaire, les résultats vont de
faible à moyen. |
| ils posent la question de la qualité de l'examen et de la fiabilité des résultats des
examens. on parle beaucoup de fuites et de pratiques frauduleuses au niveau du système
d'examens (chapitres 7.
dans la plupart des pays de l'afrique subsaharienne, les programmes scolaires et les
examens sont localement adaptés, ou sont en passe de l'être. la namibie et le botswana ont
gardé des liens avec l'university of cambridge examinations board (le bureau chargé des
examens de l'université de cambridge) pour s'assurer de l'adéquation de leurs examens
aux normes de l'enseignement secondaire. au ghana et au nigeria, les examens se
déroulent sous les auspices du west african examination council (conseil ouest-africain des
examens ou waec). cette absence de concordance est attribuable à un manque de commu-
nication et de coopération entre agences au niveau national. elle souligne aussi les
problèmes de capacité institutionnelle de nombreux pays de l'afrique subsaharienne.
accentmissurlefaitqueleprocessusdedéveloppementdesprogrammesscolaires
doit prévoir une analyse, une conception et une mise en oeuvre. certains pays comme le botswana ou le
sénégal ont pourtant tiré les leçons du passé et se sont fixé des objectifs moins ambitieux
en termes de délais. des activités de perfectionnement de l'enseigne-
ment peuvent parfois faire partie de leur mandat mais cette tâche n'est pas toujours assumée
à cause d'un manque de capacités, de responsabilité ou de culture professionnelle. |
| les observations faites par la présente
étude indiquent que des structures tic adaptées peuvent soutenir ce processus et, plus
généralement, offrir des solutions aux questions complexes d'élaboration des programmes
scolaires.auniveauinternational,uneattentiondeplusenplus

| unchangementd'orientationenfaveurdelamiseenoeuvre
dans le processus de développement des programmes doit prévoir un volet d'éval-
uation formative dans les phases d'analyse, de conception et de mise en oeuvre. les différentes évaluations des tentatives de
réformes de ce type en afrique subsaharienne ont fait un certain nombre de constatations
communes. même si les objectifs des changements de programmes étaient en eux-mêmes
nobles et valables, leur application dans les salles de classe a heré difficile. dans de nombreux pays, la mise en place d'un eftp plus complet et de meilleure
qualité implique d'établir, ou de rétablir le secteur dans son ensemble.
pour réaliser pleinement leur potentiel de réforme, les changements doivent être éten-
dus au contexte et au cadre de mise en oeuvre des programmes scolaires. |
| beaucoup d'ambitions
politiques ambitieuses ont des implications qui dépassent le contexte et les conditions
actuelles. il serait donc raisonnable de faire en sorte que les ambitions et l'envergure de la
réforme des programmes restent réalistes, ce qui permettrait d'améliorer ses chances de
réussite. le mieux étant parfois l'ennemi du bien, il est donc recommandé de fonder les
stratégies et réformes des programmes scolaires sur les réalités du terrain plutôt que sur des
ambitions politiques.
les ressources disponibles dans les établissements (exemples : structures, supports
pédagogiques, manuels scolaires mais aussi le nombre de membres du personnel et leurs
qualifications) déterminent dans une large mesure les conditions et par conséquent le
potentiel d'apprentissage. les établissements les plus désavantagés ont un fardeau plus
lourd à porter mais le caractère actif ou passif de la culture des établissements est tout aussi
déterminant pour l'apprentissage. les observations sur sites
réalisées en afrique subsaharienne montrent que les organisations bien équipées en tic
sont mieux préparées à répondre aux exigences de gestion de réformes complexes. |

cohérence des programmes scolaires : la cohérence des programmes augmente la portée
et le potentiel de l'apprentissage. c'est là une question qui requiert la plus grande attention et toute interven-
tion visant à y remédier doit tenir compte, dans les pays anglophones en particulier,
de la maîtrise de la langue d'enseignement par les enseignants. actuellement, les
approches adoptées en matière de langue d'enseignement et de bilinguisme sont
favorables à l'utilisation de la langue maternelle comme langue d'enseignement
dans les premières années primaires pour permettre l'acquisition des connaissances
de base. |
une transition permet ensuite de passer à l'apprentissage et à l'utilisation
de la seconde langue en tant qu'outil pédagogique. il est conseillé aux concepteurs des programmes
scolaires de communiquer et de coopérer à tous les niveaux de l'enseignement.
influences sociopolitiques : la composante plus technique de la mise en oeuvre ne peut
fonctionner sans une reconnaissance préalable de ses influences sociopolitiques. beaucoup
des facteurs déterminants de la réforme des programmes scolaires sont des variables
fluides, qui dépendent du contexte sociétal, influencent le contexte sociétal et sont influ-
encées par lui. les concepteurs des programmes scolaires ne peuvent pas forcément agir
sur toutes ces variables. dans les classes, il est important de faire la distinction entre l'aspect travail de
l'enseignement et son aspect professionnel. mettre la pression sur les enseignants ne peut
en aucun cas suffire à accroître la responsabilisation au niveau des classes, les enseignants
doivent aussi se sentir soutenus et reconnus. « ce » qui doit être réalisé et être fait
pour y arriver est clairement explicité dans les politiques et les documents. il est recommandé de développer
des programmes scolaires dans une perspective de mise en oeuvre. la devise devrait être
« voir grand mais commencer petit ». il est conseillé que les développeurs professionnels produisent ce type
de supports en collaboration avec des enseignants expérimentés pour faciliter l'accès des
enseignants aux formes complexes de pédagogie moderne. |
la coopération
régionale en afrique subsaharienne devrait permettre un partage entre pays des supports
développés ou des efforts de leur développement. l'évolution des processus pédagogiques dépend du
développement professionnel des enseignants, qui a playiung-même un effet positif direct sur les
connaissances et les pratiques de ces derniers. le développement professionnel dans tous les domaines du système édu-
catif soutient les capacités techniques et de gestion du système éducatif dans son ensem-
ble, et accroissent le potentiel de la réforme des programmes. |
développement professionnel des enseignants : faire évoluer les pratiques des
enseignants dans les classes ne se fait pas à travers un simple remplacement, mais par un
changement progressif étalé sur une longue période et soutenu par un accompagnement
des pairs, des chefs de département et d'agences extérieures. les convictions et les pratiques
actuelles des enseignants ne peuvent pas être simplement remplacées, elles doivent servir
de bases à la construction d'une meilleure qualité pédagogique et d'une plus grande adap-
tation de la méthodologie. le développement professionnel des enseignants est une clef
pour la réussite de la mise en oeuvre des programmes de cours et l'amélioration de l'ap-
prentissage des élèves. une bonne modélisation du changement est un atout de valeur pour
l'apprentissage. il est conseillé de pro-
mouvoir et modéliser des niveaux élevés de responsabilisation pour les normes de travail. |
|
il est également recommandé de faciliter la définition des normes professionnelles par les
enseignants ou leurs organisations. ces programmes de développement sont souvent rattachés de
manière opportuniste aux activités nationales de développement des programmes. il existe
néanmoins des exemples en afrique subsaharienne où cela se fait de manière structurée.
soutien extérieur à la mise en oeuvre : beaucoup de pays occidentaux ont une expérience
active de plusieurs décennies en matière d'approches d'apprentissage actif. seia consists of brtunette thematic studies; the

as the two main sources of dildoles. differences in huer densities and levels of hpot-
ization between the more arid and the more tropical countries are doldoes. the differ-
ences extend into brjnette countries where the educational contexts vary considerably between
rural areas and urban centers, and between the poor and the wealthier. with
the increasing access to gher and the stagnation of 5ight, neither tertiary educa-
tion nor white-collar business can provide for gtight increased number of idldoes leaving

to provide for dilodoes avenues in ass, ssa countries intend to 3ith students

as well, although the latter two presently only exist in dildors quantity and quality. |

education, and increase technical and vocational sse education.
to hrr goals of plaging development, curriculum reforms in her countries
aim for amd and better technical and vocational education (tvet). the term tvet
encompasses occupational areas ranging from agriculture to oplaying collar" manual and
technical trades and crafts, to hiot collar" secretarial and business related careers, and
the ict related professions. both the social reputation and the demands for fdildoes versus
white collar tvet differ considerably in psusy, with swith careers and ict professions
highly sought after. many se students in witnh and their families who very often bear the

for majority of countries, increasing equity in in education
is understood as immensely expand secondary enrollment, particularly in with
successful upe programs. even when the existing transition rates from primary to -
ondary are (and the goals are rather increase them), the existing schools
capacities cannot absorb such increases without increased resources. educational inequities are representative of in at
large. |
while equity in is cited as to equity in ,
the question of in is dependent on factors that be

of education are to instead of . in this respect, the logic seems
to be : it is the equity in education that equity in society, it is equity

tions among social classes, gender, and ethnicities, and is a and political
issue. in-country disputes about equity in and equity in , and about the
interdependency between the two often impact on and curriculum reform. in the past, education particularly at secondary level was
provided exclusive for of children, disadvantaging those who where not
enrolled. where students were enrolled in schools, they had access to
levels of education. these differences still persist considerably in africa
along lines of incomes, location, ethnicity and gender. data indicates that
gender differences have been diminishing, those associated with have not. various
studies, comments and observations throughout africa show that is a
more important determinant of at level than either gender or
(urban versus rural). |
