Primary and secondary education -- section II. Tertiary education -- section III. 330 $aIn 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. 606 $aEducation, Elementary$zSouth Africa 606 $aEducation, Secondary$zSouth Africa 606 $aEducation and state$zSouth Africa 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEducation, Elementary 615 0$aEducation, Secondary 615 0$aEducation and state 676 $a378.6 676 $a378.60905 701 $aMawere$b Munyaradzi$0857215 701 $aRambe$b Patient$0955613 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452206203321 996 $aLeveraging educational quality in Southern African educational systems$92162598 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03226nam 2200565 450 001 9910789370203321 005 20230803202215.0 010 $a0-309-29655-2 010 $a0-309-29653-6 035 $a(CKB)3710000000103297 035 $a(EBL)3379155 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001219539 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11821659 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001219539 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11214916 035 $a(PQKB)10930557 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3379155 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3379155 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10863808 035 $a(OCoLC)870331905 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000103297 100 $a20140507h20142014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aReview of NASA's Evidence reports on human health risks $e2013 letter report /$fCarol E.

This report builds on the 2008 IOM report Review of NASA's Human Research Program Evidence Books: A Letter Report, which provided an initial and brief review of the evidence reports. This letter report reviews three evidence reports and examines the quality of the evidence, analysis, and overall construction of each report; identifies existing gaps in report content; and provides suggestions for additional sources of expert input. The report analyzes each evidence report's overall quality, which included readability; internal consistency; the source and breadth of cited evidence; identification of existing knowledge and research gaps; authorship expertise; and, if applicable, response to recommendations from the 2008 IOM letter report."--Publisher's description. 606 $aSpace medicine$xStandards$zUnited States 606 $aEvidence-based medicine$zUnited States$xMethodology 615 0$aSpace medicine$xStandards 615 0$aEvidence-based medicine$xMethodology. 676 $a616.980214 702 $aScott-Corner$b Carol E.
