Description

Product Description Using the Education for All (EFA) global movement as the setting, this book surveys the complex labyrinths of international education policy making, the design and implementation of system-wide educational reform, and the assessment of learning outcomes in the African context. It addresses the following questions: what does it mean for African states to reform their educational systems to meet the global agenda of Education for All and the Millennium Development Goals? Under what structural conditions have African governments implemented universal primary education programs, and with what outcomes? What are the lessons learned and how do these inform the post-2015 agenda for universal primary education in Africa and other developing countries? This book provides answers to these questions and opens the possibilities for new approaches to Education for All in the context of constrained resources, unstable political climates, and the agency of local communities. It is undeniable that African governments responded to the educational goals espoused in EFA and MDG paradigms through their own "education for all" plans and expended vast resources to realize these objectives. However, there remains a serious gap in knowledge about the design of these plans, the influence of local and international forces in their development, the challenges inherent in executing comprehensive and multifaceted reforms to achieve these goals, and the success of the reform measures as evident in student learning outcomes. This book addresses this knowledge gap in three ways. First, it utilizes empirical data collected over a five-year period from six African countries-Kenya, Mali, Senegal, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Uganda-to illuminate how the global agenda on education has been debated, designed, and implemented across the continent, and with what outcomes. Second, it frames the six nation case studies within the wider logic of international educational policy agenda and the continent-wide search for education quality. Finally, the analysis of universal primary education strategies is undertaken from an interdisciplinary perspective thereby allowing a more comprehensive view of the educational reform. Review I expect the general reader and experts on African education to benefit tremendously from this fascinating as well as excellently researched and very well-written book.-- "African and Asian Studies (AAS)" This is a very good book for researchers, educationists, education commentators, policy makers, politicians, parents, etc. It provides insights into the ecstasy and the agony of UPE in Africa, and proposes a review of system-wide reforms which would ensure access, retention, throughput and quality. Its greatest value lies in systematic documentation of the beginning and performance of UPE on the continent.-- "International Review of Education" Professor Munene's work is an extremely comprehensive discussion of the way the leadership in African states worked to develop meaningful primary education in the face of the continental colonial ideology of education repression. It is detailed with the necessarily complex interplay of national and international policy agencies and for scholars and students of comparative education it is essential. This work is essential for general readers in the Social Foundations of Education, since it offers a diverse continental template showing the tension between vocational and academic human capital designs in national policies which had, and have, unintended and, sometimes, revolutionary consequences.--Guy Senese, Northern Arizona University In Africa, Universal Primary Education discourse tends to concentrate on access and enrollment. This most welcome piece of work on Achieving Education for All elevates the discussion on UPE to quality education, learning achievement, and, above all, learning outcomes. The editor and authors are to be congratulated. Educators, school leaders,
