In 1984, Morocco implemented an ambitious reform of its vocational training (VT) system, with the main goal of increasing youth employment by making the system more adaptive to the constantly evolving needs of the labour market. We analyze three types of programs that were implemented as part of these reforms using data on graduates from urban vocational training facilities who completed their studies in 2000. While we find that both the privatization of vocational training and policies...

The objective of this chapter is to estimate the performance and the return of professional training in term of integration of the professional training graduates in labour market. Using a micro econometric study based on data of the OFPPT graduates over the period 2000, 2001 and 2002, the estimations are made by considering two models. The first one is a model with fixed effect which is converging and efficient in the context of this study. The second is a model with heterogeneous...

We use the Solow augmented model to quantify the long-term determinants of growth in Morocco and Tunisia. In the Tunisian case, these later are the capital in the broad sense (physical and human), the growth of the population and the lagged GDP (what confirms the occurrence of the catching-up phenomenon). In Morocco, we find the same variables except the capital (in the broad sense) which is not always significant. If at the level of the general training Tunisia is more successful than...

With an urban growth of 4% and an urban population of more than 30% (Vision 2030), one out of every two Kenyans will live in urban areas before 2030 (and probably by 2015). As urbanization is inevitable, the main challenge is how to cope with rapid urban growth and how to prepare for the future. Inclusive development is a major condition of sustainable cities. What are the main urban challenges Kenya faces? Are Kenyan urbanization trends leading to inclusive cities? Urban challenges in Kenya...

Sensor based network is an enabling technology for Ubiquitous Learning, which in fact is one of the major features that distinguish U-learning from E-learning. The ability of a U-learning System to provide the right information at the right time or a personalized service depends on its ability to sense its environment through sensors deployed in the environment. This paper discusses the design of a Sensor-based framework for Ubiquitous Learning in Nigeria.

Mobile learning (M-Learning) is the point where mobile computing and e-learning intersect to produce an anytime, anywhere learning experiences. Advances in mobile technologies have enhanced M-learning tools at just the right moment to meet the need for more costeffective just in time training options-learning on the go. Electronic Learning offer methods, which decrease the limitations of traditional education but M-learning offers more. This paper discusses the existing devices and...
