What Hiv/aids Can Do To Education, And What Education Can Do To Hiv/aids

When a person is infected with HIV, the immune system breaks down, leaving the individual exposed to the hazards of a multitude of opportunistic illnesses. In the absence of preventive measures, the education system in a country that is as seriously HIV infected as many of those in Sub-Saharan Africa is also in danger of breaking down and being prey to myriad opportunistic problems. Our first task is to present an analytic framework, with a limited number of examples from Zambia that will help us grasp the multitudinous potential impacts of HIV/AIDS on the education system of a severely affected country. It is only when civil and public society come to grips with the fact that these are real possibilities, indeed that many are already wreaking havoc, that appropriate action will be taken to control the situation.
