Production of a manual on the training system of teachers in basic education

In the framework of the second phase of the production of  a manual on the training system  for teachers in basic education, UNESCO Accra (Ghana), in collaboration with UIL and ED/ BLS (Division for Basic Learning and Skills Development), organised a workshop from 30th July to 3rd August, 2012 in Baguida (Togo). This activity, which is part of CapEFA Togo, helped move towards a holistic approach to  training within a lifelong learning perspective. The need for such an approach is derived from the findings and recommendations of the diagnostic study of the training of literacy facilitators commissioned in 2011 in the framework of CapEFA Togo.

The objectives of this meeting,  which were to stabilise the format of the training module of the manual and to integrate improvements in the modules of the manual,  strengthened the capacity of representatives of central and regional departments of education, literacy and non-formal education and training in Togo.

At the current stage, this manual is being developed on the realities of the education system in Togo but it should, on being terminated, take into consideration the education systems in Francophone African countries. Parallel to the finalisation and scientific validation of the present  version,  further communication will be developed, on one hand, with ministries of education, at least in Central and West Africa, and, on the other hand, with technical and financial partners at international, regional and national levels. The aim is to share the manual in terms of experimentation and editing of the final version.
