101. International Literacy Explorer - TOSTAN - Background A project which goes beyond literacy to give learners the means to solve problems, improve their families' health, and start smallscale projects. Overview of the programme, and description of activities and results. http://www.literacyonline.org/explorer/tost_back.html

Participatory Nonformal Education The TOSTAN Basic Education Program, Senegal Background Project Overview Activities Outcomes and Implications Resources ... Questions The Issue in Brief Basic education programs in many underdeveloped countries throughout the world fall short in attaining their goals. Recognizing the need to teach basic skills, such as reading, writing, and math, governments have spent considerable sums of money on formal literacy programs often with disappointing results. What has proven successful are comprehensive nonformal education programs where learners participate in the creation of the educational program and link the lessons to their everyday life situations. back to top The Context in Senegal Senegal is one of the world's least developed countries. Although Senegal enjoys a somewhat stable political atmosphere, its economic growth is relatively stagnant and almost negated by its high population growth (doubling every 25 years). Low literacy rates and limited access to health care are major contributors to Senegal's lack of development. Three out of four people have not been taught to read and write. Senegal's child mortality has been relatively high, with 97 deaths per 1,000 among children ages five and under in 1995. Many of the non-literate people in Senegal are women. A 1995 estimate reported the total population's literacy rate was at 33.1% with 43% of the men and only 23.2% of the women age 15 and over able to read and write. While literacy has long been recognized not only as a means of a personal and cultural sense of pride but also as the key to attaining economic growth, it is not always the first preoccupation of villagers whose children die from dehydration and malnutrition at an alarming rate. Senegalese village women need access to water and food first. Although important, the opportunity to learn to read and write is their second priority.

INFORMATION LITERACY For many years educators have heard about a variety of literaciesprint, visual, computational, cultural, computer, scientificand their importance in every child's education. Each of the literacies prescribes a process by which the learner can more easily negotiate the content unique to a particular area of study. Each of the literacies operates in isolation of the others, and each has its own vocabulary and conventions for study. Information literacy, on the other hand, is a potential tool of empowerment for all learners, reached through a "resource-based" learning approach.
