Description
This book, first published in 1980, provides a summary of the major research findings of previous studies of the sociology of education in Sub-Saharan Africa within an original and stimulating general framework whilst also devoting space to their own research findings. The major themes of the book are education and social inequality, the sociology of the school, the teacher and the curriculum, and education and development. The student of the sociology of development will find a stimulating discussion of education in relation to socio-cultural, economic and political change in contemporary Africa.
