Post-primary education, which has been identified as one of the greatest challenges facing education systems in Africa, was the theme of the 2008 ADEA Biennale on Education in Africa. The meeting was held on 5-9 May 2008 in Maputo, Mozambique. The Biennale addressed three major areas: extension of basic education to include lower secondary education, TVET and labour markets in urban and rural settings, and articulation between upper secondary and higher education.
UNESCO-UNEVOC contributed to the Biennale through reports on studies in Kenya on improving the attractiveness of TVET and a book edited by Jon Lauglo and Rupert Maclean, entitled Vocationalization of Secondary Education Revisited. Mr. L. Efison Munjanganja, Head of UNEVOC Networks, gave a presentation on "Vocationalization of Secondary Education Revisited: An Overview". The presentation was made in the parallel session on skills development in TVET.
