Abstract:This book highlights some of the changes in African education, interrogates the rationale and usefulness of these changes and reflects on the direction of education in Africa. Section I, Philosophy and economic considerations, has chapters on women's education, economic and financial issues, educational development in Nigeria, and the role of educational institutes in Nigeria's sustainable agricultural development. Section II, Implementation of curriculum reform, has chapters on reforms in junior secondary schools and tertiary education in Nigeria, and on the competences of teachers in the country. The chapters in Section III, Reforms at K-16 levels, discuss free primary education in Kenya, primary education reform in Botswana, and universal primary education and basic education, the preparation of teachers for universal basic education, university education, and agricultural education in Nigeria. Section IV has two chapters, one on information and communication technology and the Internet café in Nigeria, the other on faculty and student use of library services. The final section deals with guidance challenges for Nigerian primary school students, and training techniques in language performance among mentally retarded children in Nigeria.
