United Nations Educational and Training Programme for Southern Africa

The General Assembly,

Recalling its resolutions on the United Nations Educational and Training Programme for Southern Africa, in particular resolution 35/30 of 11 November 1980,

Having considered the report of the Secretary-General on the Programme for 1980/81, containing an account of the work of the Advisory Committee on the United Nations Educational and Training Programme for Southern Africa and the operation of the Programme during the year,

Noting with grave concern the significant decline in the level of contributions received in 1981 and the consequent sharp decrease in the number of new awards granted and the total number of scholarship holders,

Strongly convinced that the continuation and expansion of the Programme is essential in order to assist the peoples of South Africa and Namibia,

Recognizing that supplementary contributions are urgently required in order to enable the Programme to meet its current level of obligations and that increased contributions for the coming fiscal year are required to meet the growing needs for assistance,

Taking account of the desirability of providing educational opportunities and counselling to student refugees in a broad spectrum of professional, cultural, technical and linguistic disciplines suitable for their future functions, notably, in the fields of development and international co-operation,

1. Endorses the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Educational and Training Programme for Southern Africa;

2. Takes note with grave concern of the deficit facing the Programme in the current financial year because of escalating costs and a decrease in contributions in both absolute and real terms;

3. Expresses its appreciation to all those who have supported the Programme by providing contributions, scholarships or places in their educational institutions;

4. Requests the Secretary-General and the Advisory Committee on the United Nations Educational and Training Programme for Southern Africa to take all possible measures for the promotion of generous contributions to the Programme;

5. Appeals to all States, institutions, organizations and individuals, in view of the increasing demand for educational opportunities by the people of South Africa and Namibia and the rapidly increasing costs of higher education and training, to offer greater financial and other support to the Programme in order to ensure its continuation, effectiveness and expansion.
