The first chapter, "Educational Development in Africa during the 1980s," identifies the following: the main educational challenges in the early 1980s and the responses proposed by the Conference of Ministers of Education and Those Responsible for Economic Planning in African Member States; educational realities in the social and economic crisis of the 1980s; and an evaluation of the implementation of the ministers' recommendations. The second chapter, "New Needs and Appropriate Strategies for the 1990s," covers four topics: developing goals and strategies for the 1990s; education as the key to human development; catering to basic learning needs; and African strategies in respect of education for all. The third chapter, "The Role of International Cooperation," contains three parts: cooperation for the development of education in Africa; guidelines and priorities for educational cooperation in Africa for the 1990s; and setting up appropriate mechanisms for cooperation in educational development.
