AFRICA: Where has all the education gone?

This report presents the main findings of an international research project evaluating the further education and employment experiences of secondary school leavers and university graduates in Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda and
Zimbabwe. Using a standard tracer survey methodology, the study provides data for monitoring and evaluating the impact of educational reforms. The report finds that leavers and graduates are involved in three main activities: wage and self-employment, unemployment, and further education and training. It also assesses the impact of the AIDS epidemic, and discusses the gender, socio-economic background, and religion of those surveyed.
