This book addresses issues and African objectives for mass education, funding, inequities in access, curriculum, instructional methodology, and research needs and efforts. These issues are pursued through intensive examinations of the education system and the curriculum found in the region, and are placed within the context of the past and the future. The severity of African educational problems is stimulating creative solutions, many of which can be adapted to solve problems elsewhere in the world. |
