Item Child Labour and Its Impact on Children’s Access to and Participation in Primary Education(DFID, 2003) Dachi, Hillary A.; Garrett, RogerThe study was conceived during the spring of 2000 as a follow-up to the successful work that had been undertaken by one member of the team and which had resulted in the successful completion of an EdD thesis into the private costs of public primary education borne by households, in Tanzania, while sending children to public primary schools (Dachi 2000). Household costs were found to be complex and while the broad areas of fees, other mandatory and voluntary contributions are burdensome expenses on the household, they do not constitute the principal costs on the parental budget. Ancillary costs surrounding schooling, such as uniform, meals and transport, are variable according to district and environment, and constitute the largest burden on household finances. A major factor in the non-participation of children in schooling was found to be the need to prioritise educational investment in a few children, with the subsequent earnings of those not enrolled in school contributing to the household finances. But even for those children enrolled in school, their frequent failure to complete primary education was due to an inability of the children successfully to combine income generation, partly to finance their education, with that of school attendance. The present study was, therefore, conceived of as an attempt to provide a more detailed, although preliminary, investigation into the effects of working and its impact on children’s participation in formal education.Item Globalisation and Skills for Development in Rwanda and Tanzania(DFID, 2003-04) Tikly, Leon; Lowe, John; Crossley, Michael; Dachi, Hillary A.; Garrett, Roger; Mukabaranga, B.This report is a result of a research project funded by DFID entitled Globalisation and Skills for Development in Rwanda and Tanzania: Implications for Education and Training Policy and Practice. The project was a collaborative effort between the Universities of Bristol, Bath, Dar es Salaam and the Kigali Institute of Education. The research design had embedded within it clear process goals to develop research capacity in a spirit of equal partnership. This synthesis report compares and contrasts the research findings from Rwanda and Tanzania. It is accompanied by individual country reports for Rwanda and Tanzania but can be read separately from these. These unpublished reports are available on request from DFID. The overall aim of the research was to create a context-relevant knowledge base about the implications for education and training policy of globalisation in two low income sub-Saharan African countries. The research was conducted between March 2001 and April 2002 in three phases. Phase one was a preparation and piloting stage including a full literature review and preparation of research instruments. Phase two was largely devoted to data gathering with emphasis given to qualitative single and group interviews of a representative range of stakeholders, document analysis and in-country workshops. Phase three was demarcated as one of data analysis and dissemination including a regional dissemination workshop.Item Globalisation and Skills for Development: Some Lessons from Sub-Saharan Africa(2003) Tikly, Leon; Lowe, John; Crossley, Michael; Dachi, Hillary A.; Garrett, Roger; Mukabaranga, BeatriceThis article reports on an international policy research study funded by the United Kingdom (UK) Government's Department for International Development (DfID), entitled Globalisation and Skills for Development in Tanzania and Rwanda: implications for education and training policy and practice. The research is a contribution to a broader ‘Skills for Development Initiative’ launched by the UK Secretary of State for International Development (Short, 1999). The study was a collaborative effort between the Universities of Bristol, Bath, Dar es Salaam and the Kigali Institute of Education. The findings and the analysis generated by this research are rich and complex.Item Working Children-Parallels and Paradoxes for Education and Development(2003) Garrett, Roger; Dachi, Hillary A.
