DESCRIPTION:The aim of this seminar is to discuss the challenges of educat
 ional provision in African countries emerging from conflict. The seminar e
 xamines key areas for discussion such as teacher training\, identifying th
 e most appropriate means of delivery\, reaching out to over-age youth and
