Rasilimali
Tunavyokua tutaongeza rasilimali mbalimbali kwenye tovuti yetu. Ya kwanza, 'Hifadhidata ya Kituo cha REAL na ESSA ya utafiti wa Kiafrika kuhusu elimu' itakuja hivi karibuni.
Demographics of African Faculty
PIONEERING PILOT IN GHANA
There is a surge in students attending universities and colleges across sub-Saharan Africa. This is due to population growth, economic development and increased participation rates in education. For educational institutions to meet this demand, the supply of quality professors and tutors is key.
Education sub-Saharan Africa (ESSA) has been working alongside the Government of Ghana, the Association of African Universities (AAU), the Population Reference Bureau (PRB) and key partners such as Ghana’s National Council for Tertiary Education (NCTE) to pioneer a pilot study on the faculty supply and demand needs and challenges in Ghana. The study focused on the distribution of faculty by age, gender, rank and field/discipline.
We welcome the Ghanaian government’s support in this project.
"The Ghanaian government are to be applauded for their refreshing desire to address this major challenge, and for their transparency and openness throughout this first phase of the project."
- Olaf Hahn, CEO ESSA.
During the next phase of this project, we intend to work with our partners to extend the study to further countries in sub-Saharan Africa and further support the Government of Ghana in turning this knowledge into action.
This study was supported by funding from the Mastercard Foundation.
Hifadhidata ya utafiti
Inaweza kuwa vigumu kupata utafiti bora wa Kiafrika kuhusu mada ya elimu na hata vigumu zaidi kwa watafiti Waafrika kuchapisha kazi zao na kufanikisha ufahamu na ushawishi. Tunataka kubadilisha hili..
Pamoja na Kituo cha REAL katika Chuo Kikuu cha Cambridge, hatua ya kwanza imechukuliwa kwa kuleta ushahidi wenye msingi wa utafiti uliofanywa na watafiti walioko barani Afrika kusini mwa Jangwa la Sahara. Kutokana na hii, hifadhidata wazi, tangamanifu na inayoweza kutafutika za utafiti wenye misingi wa Afrika kuhusu Elimu barani Afrika kusini mwa Jangwa la Sahara imeundwa ambayo hivi karibuni itapatikana kwenye tovuti za ESSA na Kituo cha REAL. Blogi iliyo hapa chini inatoa maelezo zaidi kuhusu kinachofuata.

openESSA
Kutokana na ushirikiano baina ya ESSA na Taasisi ya Hasso Plattner , hii itajumuisha OpenESSA jukwaa jipya tangamanifu, la mtandaoni, na kuhamisha maarifa ambalo litakuwa na rasilimali mbalimbali za kidijital kutoka kwa wachangiaji wadogo hadi kwa miongozo, mazungumzo na mihadhara pamoja na MOOCS zilizoidhinishwa na rasilimali nyingine kuhusu mada za umuhimu.
Pia itajumuisha kalenda ya kimataifa ya matukio yanayohusiana na elimu Afrika ya Jangwa la Sahara na baada ya muda itakuwa na mengi zaidi.
Kinachofuatia
Kutumia mbinu ya hatua kwa hatua, tutaongeza rasilimali muhimu zaidi kwenye tovuti yetu kwa wale wanaotaka kubadilisha matokeo ya kielimu Afrika ya Jangwa la Sahara.
