Reconstructing literacy as an innovation for sustainable development
In outlining the framework offered at the UNESCO Regional Conference in support of Global Literacy (New Delhi, November 2007), it was pointed out that concepts of poverty, sustainable development and particularly of literacy and innovation have themselves been in continuous re‐construction. An analysis of the context and condition for literacy policies and initiatives in Bangladesh—a country with one of the highest rates of both poverty and illit…
Adult and Lifelong Education for Poverty Reduction
Potential of adult and lifelong education for poverty reduction
Poverty reduction today, at least in rhetoric, is a global priority; the essential role of education in poverty reduction is universally assumed. However, the dialectic between the concurrent and contradictory processes of ‘poverty reduction’ and ‘poverty induction’ is not well understood, and the historically rooted and globally entrenched larger structural processes of ‘poverty induction’ are indeed being allowed to advance and grow. Adult educ…
A model and method of evaluative accounts
Reclaiming Old Heritage for Proclaiming Future History
In the context of the overarching processes of globalization, a model including two intersecting dialectics is offered: one between education and development, and another between indigenous and modern knowledge. It is argued that globalization, as we know it, must be reinvented; and the new definition of African development must accept limits to growth while using all the possibilities offered by African imagination, intellect, and existing mater…
A Discourse on Impact Evaluation
Evaluation of the impact of a social intervention is complex. A social intervention cannot be designed as an invariant input for un-mixed and singular results. Agents and conditions of implementation confound outcomes. But evaluators of impact in search of certainties have often focused on direct and more immediate outputs. When intermediate and long-term outcomes are studied, the focus is on the concrete and the measurable. The discourse on impa…

Equivalent Curriculum Construction as Situated Discourse
Globalization, an all-encompassing phenomenon of our times, is economic, political, social, cultural, and technological all at the same time. In education, globalization has compelled a two-tier educational policy agenda for the world: (a) in the developed world, democratization of higher education, and universalization of secondary education; and (b) in developing countries, basic education for all, and secondary and postsecondary education for …

Constructivist Capacity Building and Systemic Evaluation of Adult Basic Education and Training in South Africa
What follows is a discourse of coherence: first through an epistemic triangle conjoining three epistemological traditions of systems thinking, dialectical thinking and constructivist thinking; and, second, in a praxeological triangle that unites planning, implementation and evaluation in one single act of reflective action with purpose. Working from within these two mutually embedded triangles of coherence, a discourse on the Adult Basic Educatio…

The Fall of the Mantle

Adult Education Policy Formation and Implementation
Adult education policies around the world during the post-World War II period owe a debt to UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) both in their conception and implementation. Four UNESCO-sponsored world conferences on adult education (UNESCO, 1949; UNESCO, 1963; UNESCO, 1972; UNESCO, 1985) and several other conference reports and surveys (Bhola, 1989b; Lowe, 1982; UNESCO, 1976) have contributed to adult educat…
A model of evaluation planning, implementation and management
The Psychology of Developmen t and the Psychology of Literacy
The correlations between literacy and development are universally recognised, though not always fully understood. Since the individual is the locus of all learning as well as the agent of all development actions, psychological approaches to the study of the relationship between literacy and development should be promising. The essential question in the psychology of development is: What type and quality of human psyche is relatively more amenable…

Guest Editorial
An Overview of Literacy in Sub-Sahara Africa-Images in the Making
The choice of a policy perspective in writing this paper is justifiable for at least two reasons: discussion will be oriented toward policy decisions; and analysis could draw from a whole array of policy sciences. Literacy today has indeed come center stage. It has come to be accepted as a fundamental human right, as liberator of the mind from the bondage of dependence, as the portal to most knowledge, and thus as a tool for both the modernizatio…
