Shift in Focus from Systems to Learners Rights-based education for adolescents Adolescents prepared for productive lives and multiple adult/citizenship roles. Adolescents in transition from childhood to the reproductive period, especially for girls Adolescents develop self-esteem, respect for others, relationships and social skills. Adolescents require diversity of knowledge skills and attitudes to suit their individuality

Inefficiencies of the Classical Structure Starting school later than prescribed age Repetition and drop-out in primary cycle Primary not enough, unless leads to more Transition from primary to secondary is a rationing point for inadequate supply Post primary confined to classic secondary as mainstream (other options peripheral)
