• Weak financial support for infrastrure and equipment
• Inappropriate learning approaches
• Lack of synergy between TAE research and extension services
• No coordination mechanism between networks and development partners
• Disaffection of youth
• Graduates are knowledge containers rather than ready workers
• TAE are not responding to societal needs
• Duplication and confusion of actions
Urgent need to transform TAE in Africa as mentioned by CAADP
CHALLENGES OF PUTTING RESEARCH INTO PRACTICE

Formation of 3C Edu Groups (With FARA support) (3)
• In the CAADP processes, TAE is mentioned as a issue, but TAE institutions
are rarely included in the business meetings nor are TAE activities financed in the Investment plans.
• How do we rectify this and ensure that CAADP country teams engage with TAE institutions more effectively?

VISION: Creation of CAADP Country Core Edu Groups (3C Edu Group) to ensure education sector is part of national CAADP processes

Today´s approach to TAE in Africa mainly produces Knowledge Containers
A vision for changing TAE learning paradigm in Africa
A transformed approach to TAE in Africa will be designed to produce active Knowledge Creators
