Book Description
This volume highlights the proceedings of the two policy dialogue conferences held by the Working Group on Finance and Education (WGFE) in 2004. Part I of the document discusses the endemic crisis that higher educationhas been beset with since the outset of the post colonial period in Africa. It highlights the critical state of higher education systems in Burkina Faso, Mali, Nigeria and Senegal by scrutinizing the causes, manifestations and consequences of the crisis to posit useful recommendations and possible solutions. Part II is a comprehensive review of the challenges facing the financing and planning of all levels and types ofeducation - from kindergarten to graduate school - in selected African countries. The papers reveal the sources and mechanisms of funding education in Africa, drawing attention to the experiences of communities confronted with new funding sources. A new trend, which consists of designing decade long educational development plans, has emerged and is rapidly expanding in numerous African countries. This experience is examined and shared by the authors. This book has contributions in both French and English.

ISBN: 3966659468
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 394
Book Description
Eine qualitätsorientierte Lehrer*innenbildung verbessert die Qualität von Lehr- und Lernprozessen. Welche Rolle spielt dabei der soziokuklturelle Hintergrund? Das Buch beleuchtet, wie der soziokulturelle Hintergrund der Akteur*innen die Qualität der Lehrer*innenausbildung im Rahmen eines pädagogischen Reformprojekts mit Teilnehmer*innen aus Kamerun und Deutschland beeinflusst. Die Analyse und Interpretation qualitativer Daten zeigt, dass die soziokulturellen Hintergründe der Akteur*innen wichtige Faktoren sind, die den internationalen, interkulturellen Dialog über Lehrer*innenbildung sowie die Lehr-Lern-Interaktionsdynamik im Klassenzimmer beeinflussen. Das Buch erörtert darüber hinaus den Einfluss soziokultureller Kontexte auf einen lerner*innenorientierten Unterricht, der auf den Prinzipien von Vielfalt, Interaktion und gegenseitiger Verantwortung beruht.

Manual of Romance Languages in Africa
Author: Ursula Reutner
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110628864
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 880
Book Description
With more than two thousand languages spread over its territory, multilingualism is a common reality in Africa. The main official languages of most African countries are Indo-European, in many instances Romance. As they were primarily brought to Africa in the era of colonization, the areas discussed in this volume are thirty-five states that were once ruled by Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal, or Spain, and the African regions still belonging to three of them. Twenty-six states are presented in relation to French, four to Italian, six to Portuguese, and two to Spanish. They are considered in separate chapters according to their sociolinguistic situation, linguistic history, external language policy, linguistic characteristics, and internal language policy. The result is a comprehensive overview of the Romance languages in modern-day Africa. It follows a coherent structure, offers linguistic and sociolinguistic information, and illustrates language contact situations, power relations, as well as the cross-fertilization and mutual enrichment emerging from the interplay of languages and cultures in Africa.

The Contemporary Francophone African Intellectual
Author: Natalie Edwards
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443851213
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
The Contemporary Francophone African Intellectual examines the issues with which the contemporary African intellectual engages, the fields s/he occupies, her/his residence and perspective, and her/his relations with the State and the people. In an increasingly economically deprived Africa, in which some states are ruled by dictators, what chances do people have of becoming intellectuals, using their critical faculties to challenge hegemony, enacting the transformative power of ideas in a public forum? Do intellectuals who remain in Africa run the risk of being swallowed into a vortex of hagiography? What is the responsibility of the intellectual in the face of an event such as the Rwandan genocide? What influence does religion have upon the contemporary intellectual’s work? Is migration one of the only paths available for African intellectuals, a number of whom have been critiquing their continent from within Europe? This volume focuses on the intellectual’s engagement across literature, philosophy, journalism and cultural criticism. It contains studies of established writers and philosophers as well as new voices. An African writer and public intellectual describes her own experience in and out of Africa in one chapter; a Philosophy Professor discusses his intellectual trajectory in another. Overall, this timely volume, which includes analysis of the work of intellectuals from North, East, West and Central Africa, problematizes our current understandings of the intellectual legacy of Africa and opens up new avenues into this understudied area.

Schools and National Identities in French-speaking Africa
Author: Linda Gardelle
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000281663
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
Schools and National Identities in French-speaking Africa showcases cutting-edge research to provide a renewed understanding of the role of schools in producing and reproducing national identities. Using individual case studies and comparative frameworks, it presents diverse empirical and theoretical insights from and about a range of African countries. The volume demonstrates in particular the usefulness of the curriculum as a lens through which to analyse the production and negotiation of national identities in different settings. Chapters discuss the tensions between decolonisation as a moment in time and decolonisation as a lengthy and messy process, the interplay between the local, national and international priorities of different actors, and the nuanced role of historiography and language in nation-building. At its heart is the need to critically investigate the concept of "the nation" as a political project, how discourses and feelings of belonging are constructed at school, and what it means for schools to be simultaneously places of learning, tools of socialisation and political battlegrounds. By presenting new research on textbooks, practitioners and policy in ten different African countries, this volume provides insights into the diversity of issues and dynamics surrounding the question of schools and national identities. It will be of particular interest to scholars, researchers and postgraduate students of comparative and international education, sociology, history, sociolinguistics and African studies.
