“The Quest for Quality: Learning from the African Experience” is the theme of the biennial meeting of the Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) that opened last week in Grand Baie in Mauritius. The four-day meeting planned to discuss the conclusion of a study on the challenges posed in improving quality in the process of Education for All in Africa. “If we do not pay sufficient attention to improving the quality of education, the movement in favour of basic education for all could result in a terrible waste,” according to the study.
