Architectural aspects of the creation of continuing education centres in the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire

Introduction. The tactics of accelerating the pace of civilizational development of the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire through the implementation of a continuing education programme localized in integrated architectural and urban complexes of existing universities are considered.

Materials and methods. The conceptual basis of the paper is a functional and spatial synthesis of a three — phase learning system: primary general education, vocational secondary level and higher level — materialized by a complex architectural solution. Such an association is planned to be held in Ivory Coast for the first time. Therefore, the study is focused on the search and analysis of the methodology of the organization of continuing education, which has developed in other countries, and the projection of their experience on the educational system of Côte d’Ivoire.

Results. The socio-economic and ethnic circumstances, both historical and modern, are summarized. Based on the materials provided by the Ministry of Education of the Republic, a preliminary programme has been prepared for the organization of a network of educational centres for continuing education (CCE), which is now recognized as the leading one in the education and upbringing system at all age levels of students in many countries. The programme takes into account the main parameters and ethnic specifics of the contingent of trainees, the distribution of centres in the country, based on the specific needs of general and vocational education. For the first time, variants of architectural and compositional solutions of the centres are proposed, including both the main areas of study and housing, as well as infrastructure facilities that take into account the localization of complexes in the structure of cities.

Conclusions. The fundamental differences between the CCE and the planning structure and architectural solutions of existing university campuses are revealed, but the similarity of some structural elements that allow these objects to be mutually adapted is not excluded. The success of the implementation of the programme for the creation of continuing education centres in Côte d’Ivoire will make it possible to transfer the experience into the practice of neighbouring countries experiencing similar problems.
