Tertiary TVET: Pathways for Pioneers
Date
2008-10-01Abstract
I have prepared these remarks with two of my COL colleagues, Dr. Krishna Alluri and Mr Joshua Mallet. Dr. Alluri, a distinguished expert on the nexus between education, learning and agricultural development, heads the COL programme sector that we call Learning for Livelihoods. I have just returned from visiting, in the eastern part of your country, the Lifelong Learning for Farmers programme that he initiated. This programme, which is being run in close collaboration with the Eastern University in that region and with other Sri Lankan universities in four other locations, is visibly helping to improve rural prosperity.
