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 615 0$aEducation, Elementary 615 0$aEducation, Secondary 615 0$aEducation and state 676 $a378.6 676 $a378.60905 701 $aMawere$b Munyaradzi$01598799 701 $aRambe$b Patient$01598800 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910806282803321 996 $aLeveraging educational quality in Southern African educational systems$93921208 997 $aUNINA
