“…Community empowerment in the designing and implementation of ECCE programmes is the most reliable way of insuring relevancy (Lauwerier, 2016). Policy-makers therefore need to provide a platform for community involvement and reform the existing educational systems in which educational policy decisions are taken by actors of international…”

This critical review aims to question whether or not the enthusiasm around early childhood care and education (ECCE) programmes is producing premature models, ill-adapted to West African socio-cultural contexts. Reviewing research that investigates the impact of ECCE on cognitive development and school readiness, we first focus on the universal valuing of formal ECCE, supported by both scientific research and international education agendas. Second, we present a classification that provides a framework to grasp the multiplicity of ECCE programmes and models across West African countries and their relevance to local contexts. Based on the literature reviewed, we conceptualise a multilevel model of ECCE within a holistic and ecologic approach. In the third part, we present research that underlines the challenges for educators and their central role in the design of culturally relevant ECCE. The fourth part will draw from research findings and stress the need to rethink appropriate methods and research tools to assess the quality and outcomes of ECCE programmes in West Africa. We conclude by proposing to move away from ECCE perspectives in which marginalised communities are perceived as deficient towards locally relevant and socially just models.

“…Un des constats est la plupart des activités proposées pour les enseignant-es en classe sont déconnectées des réalités des apprenant-es. C'est davantage valide pour des contextes socio-économiquement plus favorables ou avec des modèles de consommation de type occidental (Lauwerier, 2016). Cela constitue donc une contrainte de plus dans la possibilité de « lire le monde » avec des situations d'apprentissage non appropriées.…”

Dans cet article, nous souhaitons comprendre quelles sont les potentialités de l’œuvre de Paulo Freire en Afrique de l’Ouest francophone. Même s’il existe quelques expériences prometteuses que nous présenterons, nous pensons que l’approche de Freire dans ce contexte est surtout pertinente en termes de cadre d’analyse pour ensuite, et ce n’est pas vraiment d’actualité, repenser l’éducation. Nous commencerons par la présentation de la situation générale de l’éducation de base en Afrique de l’Ouest francophone. Nous allons ensuite partir de concepts clés de Freire qui nous permettront d’éclairer la situation de l’éducation de base dans ce contexte. Nous allons nous pencher en particulier sur la question des opprimé-es, de la conscientisation, de la lecture du monde et de l’éducation bancaire. Nous terminerons en présentant des actions utilisant – d’une certaine manière – des approches freiriennes dans ce contexte.

“…Also, mastering the university calendar, another requirement of the BMD is not easy because of strikes and other recurring social movements. Authors (Diop, 2016) and (Lauwerier, 2016) have shown that poor working conditions, low salaries and the expectation of subsidies lead teachers to take union actions that have a negative impact on learning and program completeness.…”

This paper proposes an intelligent solution for course monitoring based on the use of a digital textbook coupled with an algorithm for verifying the conformity of the teaching content. The proposed solution allows to follow in real time the evolution of the courses and to alert the pedagogical managers in case of non-compliance with the syllabus. In most sub-Saharan African countries engaged in the Bachelor-Master-Doctorate (BMD) reform, incessant strikes prevent teachers from completing the program. Also, there is no way for the teacher to know whether students have the necessary prerequisites. In addition, constraints related to agendas sometimes prevent the holding of pedagogical animation meetings. To solve these problems, we propose the implementation of an intelligent digital teacher's textbook. The tool helps in the follow-up and the respect of the pedagogical objectives. It implements an algorithm to evaluate in real time the concordance between the courses given and the requirements of the syllabus. An SMS and e-mail alert system has also been set up to inform training actors in case of non-compliance with the syllabus. The proposed solution contributes to the overall improvement of the quality of higher education in Saharan Africa.
