Zusatztext This book covers a wide spectrum of issues on formal primary and secondary education in nine southern African countries, including the contexts, access and nature of provision, curriculum, teaching methods, quality of education, teacher education, school organisation, teacher professionalism, HIV/AIDS and gender. The peoples, economies, politics, cultures and education systems of these countries are interrelated. The region currently experiences increased university student mobility, particularly into South Africa as the biggest and most developed economy therein. This book will provide students and academics a rich one-stop source for comparative education purposes. The book provides a good balance of analysis between achievements that deserve to be celebrated, such as increased access and gender equalisation, and issues that still need a lot more attention, such as poor organisation, teacher unprofessionalism and uneven quality of education.
