Education in East and Central Africa

Charl Wolhuter is Subject Chair and Professor of Comparative Education and Teaching Theory in the School of Education of North-West University, South Africa.

This volume does an excellent job of portraying the cultural, linguistic, geographic and social diversity of a major part of the continent so often dismissed as homogeneous ... [It] is an important critical reference text for anyone working on education in the region ... [and] an important contribution to the scholarship on education systems in Africa.
