Description
Educational practices vary widely in sub-Saharan Africa, due to political instability, economic pressures, and availability of resources. This volume examines the history, educational philosophies, and current practices of schools in the region, including a special Day in the Life feature that shows readers what an average student's school day is like for that country. All educational levels are covered, from primary through secondary school, and both public and private systems are examined.; Angola ; Cameroon ; Democratic Republic of Congo ; Ghana ; Ivory Coast ; Kenya ; Nigeria ; South Africa ; Tanzania ; Uganda

Reviews:
-"Although Sub-Saharan Africa possesses many natural resources, the countries' educational systems have failed to make much of a difference in most people's standard of living. The Omatseyes address this issue in Going to School in Sub-Saharan Africa. Historical, political, and economic circumstances—from the legacy of colonialism to the scourge of AIDS—have led to multiple failures in educating the African child." —MultiCultural Review
