DETA Conference 2009

The Distance Education and Teacher Education in Africa (DETA) is hosting the DETA Conference 2009 from 3-6 August 2009 in Ghana.

Expanding education and improving its quality is central to the development of Africa. If we want to realise the goal of quality education for all, faculties of education in Africa need to actively take the lead.

It is extremely important for educationists in Africa to meet and deliberate on educational issues in Africa. It is our responsibility to share our knowledge with one another and strengthen our intellectual capacity regarding education in Africa.

The major objectives of the conference are to contribute to the debate on teacher training in Africa and to build capacity for the delivery of teacher training programmes in Africa. These objectives represent ways in which we can support NEPAD, various protocols on education and training in Africa, the Millennium Development Goals and some of the recommendations of the All-Africa Education Ministers’ Conference on Open Learning and Distance Education (February 2004).

Only 200 delegates will be hosted.

Dates: 3-6 August 2009
Location: Ghana
Venue: University of Cape Coast, Cape Coast, Ghana
