Dear readers, We are happy to launch a revamped ADEA News Briefs bulletin, which we hope you will enjoy reading every month. The new design comes with the celebration of ADEA’s 25 years of contribution to education in Africa, which will continue throughout 2014. In addition to the news briefs on ADEA activities, the Bulletin now features a calendar of ADEA activities as well as the latest publications and resources produced by ADEA. Other significant knowledge products related to development and education and training issues and published by ADEA’s members and partners are also highlighted. In this issue, ADEA is pleased to make available to you the report of the Ministerial Forum on the Integration of ICTs in Education and Training, which took place in Tunis last December. Articles and films of the most significant panels, debates and interviews can also be viewed via the Forum’s dedicated webzine and on YouTube. Comments on the News Briefs bulletin are welcome, please help us improve it to make it worthwhile for you! The ADEA Secretariat |
