Book Description
A multifaceted overview of contemporary African primary, secondary, and tertiary education with an emphasis on West and Central Africa today. This study deals with the severe disinvestment by national governments as well as donor nations in the educational process and other systemic problems in the educational delivery system continent wide. On the positive side, Professor Nwomonoh explores the growth of local educational agencies and the great progress of South Africa in rebuilding its primary system and expanding university and graduate opportunities. This book begins with a survey of some of the difficulties confronting educational planners in Africa. The significant roles of indigenous, Islamic, and colonial education are given special attention. The last section of the book looks at the current trends of educational reform in Africa, with a focus on selected case studies across the continent.

Book Description
Many people believe education in Africa is in a state of crisis. More than 45 million African children do not attend school. In many places, classes are held outside, under tents or trees, and schools often do not have such essential supplies as chalk and textbooks. Yet there have also been significant improvements in recent years. More young Africans are able to attend school today than a generation ago, and the governments of many countries are attempting to address the problems in their educational systems. This book chronicles the development of educational systems in Africa, from the colonial era to the present day. It examines the current state of education in Africa, discussing the effect that the continents poverty has on funding schools and explaining the persistence of educational inequalities.
The Changing Landscape of Education in Africa

Book Description
It is over 40 years since Coombs (1967) first drew attention to the World Education Crisis, and specifically problems in the educational systems of countries in the developing world. Today, many of these problems remain, and are most visible in the educational systems of countries in sub-Saharan Africa. A large number of children remain out of school and for those who do enrol, less than half complete the primary education cycle. More worrying is the fact that those who do complete primary schooling leave with unacceptably low levels of knowledge and skills. The problems of access to education, and the quality of learning opportunities and learning outcomes are unevenly spread between rural and urban areas, better- and worse-off constituencies, and between boys and girls. This raises questions about the nature of the state and its commitment to equality and equity for all. The chapters in this volume argue that quality, equity and democratic accountability are inseparable objectives in the quest to strengthen and improve educational systems in the developing world. Between them they highlight the specific problems of quality, equity and democratic accountability in a number of African educational systems, and provide useful insights into ongoing work by national governments and international donor agencies to remedy these shortcomings.
