Although many countries in sub-Saharan Africa have proclaimed it
their goal to achieve free universal primary schooling to all
children, few have come close to achieving it. The authors of this
study describe the implementation of a major primary school reform
in five countries (Benin, Ethiopia, Guinea, Malawi, and
Uganda).
The authors of this volume describe the efforts made in the last
decade of the 20th century to reform African education, the goal of
which was to achieve education for all. In a series of five case
studies, the politics surrounding the planning and implementation
of these reforms are considered, and their outcomes analyzed. The
countries considered are Benin, Ethiopia, Guinea, Malawi, and
Uganda. Although the reforms are still underway, the book covers at
least their first five years, bringing together facts and judgments
into coherent stories.
The authors present some conclusions about the implementation of
basic education reforms that deserve serious consideration by
policymakers, planners, and program managers. Have our assumptions
about the process of reform been correct? Have we selected the
policy instruments most suitable for use in implementing various
policies and programs? What should we do to change the course of
reform as we continue?
