The case of the reform in Niger

In the context of the curriculum reform in Niger, the authors describe the process of developing a situations bank which focusses on everyday life situations in Niger. The bank plays a central role in the formulation of new study programmes guided by the so-called “situated” approach. The authors also describe various issues that arose throughout the process.
