Primary and secondary education -- section II. Tertiary education -- section III.In the last two decades, erosion in the quality and effectiveness of education systems especially in sub-Saharan Africa has been compounded by factors -such as exogenous pressures precipitated by unsystematic provision of foreign aid - fostering corrupt practices, inadequate teacher training and limited deployment of professional educators to under-served communities. Yet, quality education is needed to attain high levels of critical thinking, analytic interpretation, academic creativity, innovativeness, effectiveness, personal and inter-personal skills in problem solving. This book, which focuses on Mozambique, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe, critically reflects on primary, secondary and tertiary education in Southern Africa with a view to explore the opportunities, constraints and challenges that practitioners, learners and other educational stakeholders face in their daily lives. The book draws on the findings from the aforementioned countries, to advance the thesis that education in sub-Saharan Africa faces problems of epic proportions that require urgent attention. Hence, the primary objective of this book is to serve as a drive and medium for informed change, critical thinking, constructive analysis, synthesis and evaluation of different situations, settings and problems situated in the interface of theory and practice in the education fraternity.Education, ElementarySouth AfricaEducation, SecondarySouth AfricaEducation and stateSouth AfricaElectronic books.Education, ElementaryEducation, SecondaryEducation and state378.6378.60905Mawere Munyaradzi857215Rambe Patient955613MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452206203321Leveraging educational quality in Southern African educational systems2162598UNINA
