Education, Democracy and Political Development in Africa
Clive Harber
Author text to follow
“Provides excellent and well-referenced insights into the schooling systems, curricula and teacher training of a wide range of African countries and argues that sustaining democracy requires reform, reschooling, and retooling. Highly recommended for those interested in international and comparative education, as well as social and political service.” Choice
For most of the post-independence period African states
have been ruled by one-party and military regimes. Writers on political
development theory came to see this as inevitable. Pressures both
from within Africa itself and from outside, however, have rekindled
debates about democracy in the African context and have led to a
whole raft of multi-party elections. … This book aims to provide a political
analysis of education in Africa within the context of democratization.
