Swaziland Curriculum and Educational Materials Development: Final Report, April 1973 through August 1975.
Cook, Paul F.
This is the final report of a technical assistance project conducted in Swaziland by the American Institutes for Research (AIR) to implement a Project Agreement between the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Government of Swaziland. The purpose of the Project Agreement was to provide assistance in meeting a priority educational need identified by the Government of Swaziland in the "Second National Development Plan 1973-1977" to reform the primary school curriculum. The major goal of the technical assistance project was to provide technical advisory assistance to establish a curriculum development unit within Swaziland, and to develop within this unit a cadre of trained Swazi educators with the capability for development and continued updating of the primary school curriculum. More particularly, this two-year project was focused on: (1) assisting the Government of Swaziland in planning and initiating a fundamentally innovative approcah to curriculum reform for primary school and in creating an institutional capacity for devising the objectives, materials, and evaluation methodologies needed to begin the reform; and (2) determining what further resources were needed to implement a comprehensive program of curriculum reform through this institution, and assisting Swazi educators in preparing proposals to appropriate donors for further assistance. Included are sections on planning conferences, work targets, accomplishments of the project, and workshops conducted through the project. (Author/MS)
