The second meeting of the Ad Hoc Committee of African Education Ministers (also Chaired by

Bengu (at the time Minister of Education of South
Africa and President of the Intergovernmental
Committee of MINEDAF VII) continued
discussions on the issues covered by the Committee in
Harare. Besides South Africa, the Ministers of Education of
Chad, Madagascar, Mali and Senegal attended. [The Ministers of Education of
Kenya and Zimbabwe were unable to attend.]
The Ministers considered draft documents prepared by the three Executive Secretaries
(ADEA, COMEDAF and MINEDAF)
on mechanisms and organs of steering and monitoring the OAU Decade of Education Programme and on possible funding
strategies for regional and national activities.
The Ad Hoc Committee recommended that the draft documents be referred to the Bureau of Ministers of COMEDAF for
action (at a meeting to be held in Bamako, Mali on 31 May - 1 June
1999). The Committee also recommended that the three Executive Secretaries attend that meeting to assure technical support for the Ministers.
