But Schools Don't Make Jobs!

The results of a survey reveal a strong belief that education equals employment, so most individuals have aspirations to ever-higher academic qualifications. Only 30-40 percent of students however receive senior secondary schooling. Academic education alone equals difficulty in getting employment. The second main finding of the survey is that there is an ever-growing shortage of jobs for the academically educated so that, on the job market, academic education qualifications are devaluing rapidly. This waste of time, motivation and abilities creates anger, frustration and leads to unplanned pregnancies, crime and drug abuse.

Ethiopia: Education For All

Before the 1974 revolution in Ethiopia, only 15% of the school-age population was in school, and 95% of adults were unable to read or write. In the following decade, the number of schools tripled, teacher numbers grew and the percentage of children attending schools doubled. "Learn and then teach" became the motto of the National Literacy Campaign which from 1978 to 1988 educated adults in 15 languages. The literacy movement in Ethiopia continues to gain momentum.

Bernard's Gang: A Story of African Street Children

Like so many children around the world, Bernard lives on the streets. He left home at thirteen when his house became too overcrowded.

Children on the streets are vulnerable and living with a gang protects street children from danger and loneliness. The small boys scavenge all day on rubbish dumps, the older boys run errands and do odd jobs. Father Grol and the Undugu Society help these and many other children living in the streets of Nairobi.

Ibra parmi nous

Ibra, un jeune "noceur" est séropositif mais l'ignore. Son oncle en est informé par un médecin chez qui Ibra s'était rendu pour des analyses médicales. Le diagnostic du médecin est présenté en alternance avec celui d'un marabout. Informés par l'oncle d'Ibra, les parents attendent avant de réagir, mais une cousine ayant appris la nouvelle de manière fortuite, en informe tout le quartier. Ce n'est que par un frère maladroit et peu respectueux de son prochain qu'Ibra apprendra cette nouvelle.

SET SETAL: les murs qui parlent

SET SETAL signifie en Wolof "être propre et rendre propre". Ce mouvement initié par les jeunes de Dakar, d'abord issu d'un désir de nettoyer la ville au sens physique du terme, a très vite pris une dimension symbolique. L'action spontanée contre la dégradation de l'environnement et la délinquance s'est transcrite par des dessins, des peintures sur les murs et des sculptures faites par les jeunes de chaque quartier.

Joy in Learning

TOSTAN is a non-formal basic education programme in national languages in Senegal. In Wolof, spoken by the majority of Senegalese, TOSTAN means "breakthrough". This 18-month programme goes beyond literacy to give learners the means to define and solve problems, improve their families' health and start small-scale projects in response to local needs. Taking African culture as its starting point, the programme began with villagers' ideas 10 years ago. UNICEF granted its support in 1988, and it has now reached 15,000 people in over 350 villages across Senegal.

Apprendre dans la joie

TOSTAN est un programme d'éducation de base non formelle en langues nationales mis en oeuvre au Sénégal. En wolof, langue parlée par la majorité de la population, TOSTAN signifie "éclosion". Ce programme, d'une durée de 18 mois, va au-delà de l'alphabétisation dans la mesure où il donne aux apprenants les moyens d'identifier et de résoudre leurs problèmes, d'améliorer la santé de leurs familles et de lancer des projets à petite échelle pour répondre aux besoins locaux. Avec la culture africaine pour point de départ, le programme est mené en collaboration avec les villageois depuis plus de 10 ans. Depuis 1988, l'UNICEF soutient le projet qui touche aujourd'hui 15.000 personnes vivant dans plus de 350 villages dans tout le Sénégal.

Education: A Basic Human Right

Teachers, parents, students and politicians discuss the problems of education in South Africa brought about by apartheid (difficulties in obtaining a good education, violence, lack of teaching materials, overcrowding, obsolete books, housing problems, low or no pay for teachers and their lack of status, high rates of illiteracy). To rectify this, during their policy conference in May 1992, the ANC made specific commitments to education in South Africa, inter alia, provision of a minimum of 10 years free and compulsory education, provision for those with disabilities and special learning needs, improving educational quality, ensuring education for young people expelled or having dropped out of school as a consequence of apartheid, development and provision of adult education, leading to the establishment of a single non-racial equal and democratic education system.

Easy Money

A film about Africans caught up in drug trafficking to the United States, winner of the first prize for best Public Awareness Documentary on drugs (FESPACO 1995 in Ouagadougou). It presents the methods utilized by the US Drug Enforcement Agency and other legal authorities in the USA to prevent the entry of drugs into the country and the methods drug couriers employ in carrying contraband items. It stresses that some of those taking risks are not hard core drug couriers but ordinary people attracted by monetary rewards which cannot, however, compensate for the risk of spending at least ten years behind bars. The film is intended as a warning to all those tempted by earning "easy money".
