The African university press – A gloomy picture

By Hans Zell. In the new digital era, with its demand for skills and knowledge, and new technological opportunities, there is now more than ever a need for collaboration among independent African publishers, and that includes university presses – to share experience, skills and professional know-how, which might then also lead to joint publishing projects.

The first article examines the homeschooling landscape in Israel, where the practice is still quite rare but on the increase; the second article argues that non-formal, non-vocational adult education (NFNVAE) should play a more central role in educational policy; and the third article looks at the technical skills and knowledge that informal tailoring apprentices in Kenya develop.
