Differing approaches have been used to establish formal education
in East Africa. This book traces developments from pre-colonial
indigenous systems, to the pioneering work of missionaries, and
education during the colonial and post-colonial periods. The work
is organised by country - parts one to four systematically look at
pre- independence education in Kenya, Uganda, Tanganyika and
Zanzibar; part five gives a comparative analysis of education in
the region since independence. The authors, academics at Makerere
University, argue that East African educational policies have
brought about significant progress within the limits of resources.
The new challenge is what to do about the number of unemployed
school leavers and graduates. The authors refute the tendency to
view the educated as victims of their own success and a potential
social nuisance; and instead argue they are a resource crucial to
national development processes.
