Introduction
Re-thinking Education in Postcolonial Sub-Saharan Africa – Post-Millennium Development Goals
Chapter
Abstract
The major concern of this book, as the title indicates, is re-thinking as opposed to merely rethinking over education in postcolonial sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Such re-thinking is premised on the realisation and acknowledgement that education is and has always been considered critical in shaping the lives as well as developmental agendas of people in Africa and beyond.
