Immediately after the 2nd UNESCO workshop, a working meeting, Towards Excellence in Journalism Education, will bring together Potential Centres of Excellence and Reference in Journalism Training in Africa to take stock of the progress made in three broad criteria areas of curriculum and institutional capacity, professional and public service, external links and recognition, and development plan, strategy and potential.
Instead of the teacher or the administrator being the judge ofprogress, there are explicit criteria where both the students and the teachers can understand themselves how they are doing (in real time) and thus learn how to improve.
