The 2001 ADEA Biennale on Education in Africa

Press

ADEA recognizes the essential role that the media can play in promoting issues that affect education, and ADEA has always accommodated the African press covering the biennial meetings.

As a forum for exchanges and reflection, the Biennial Meeting offers African journalists the opportunity to:

1. cover an event important for education policy in Africa.
   
2. meet and interview ministers of education, representatives from development organizations, researchers, and other actors who participate in the development of education on the continent.

Closed Door Meetings

The media is invited to cover the opening ceremony. However, in an effort to maintain a climate conducive to frank dialogue, the press will not be admitted to working meetings that are conducted as plenary sessions or small discussion groups.

Daily Press Conferences

A press conference will be organized before the opening of the Biennial Meeting and immediately after the closing ceremony. In addition, a press meeting will be organized at midday to inform journalists of the progress and status of the work taking place.

Press Room

In order to help journalists work under the best possible conditions, ADEA will provide press facilities including telephone, fax, and computers with Internet access.

However, due to the high cost of computer rentals, the number of computers will be limited, and we therefore strongly recommend that journalists bring their own laptop computers.
