The Southern African Development Community: Challenges and Prospects in Lifelong Learning (original) (raw)

The Palgrave International Handbook on Adult and Lifelong Education and Learning, 2017

Abstract

The Southern African Development Community (SADC) currently employs lifelong learning to advance social and economic improvement within its member states. Although a few challenges such as poor connections of learning options, lack of uniform qualification framework across member states, neglect of early childhood care and development (ECCD) and poor funding continue to plague the project, prospects for success do exist. To actualise this prospective success, SADC needs to invigorate the current traditional practice of ECCD within its member states by injecting a quantum of modern approaches into it. Additionally, the lifelong learning aspects of traditional African education need a review so that current SADC lifelong learning project may learn about these aspects and ultimately improve its lifelong learning nature in a cost-effective manner.
