Zusatztext This collection of rigorously researched and well-presented papers on the dynamics of educational development in West Africa provides adequate lessons from hindsight (what the countries studied did or failed to do), as well as insight (the complex nature of current challenges) and foresight (future directions) for education in the sub-region. In addition to being a rich mine of information the book is more importantly a methodological guide for the study of a subject that lies at the very heart of sustainable human development. These are the characteristics that make it a resource gold mine for a variety of users - teachers and students, development-oriented researchers, development partners and policy-makers. A yawning gulf has in fact been filled in needed tools for study-research-teaching and forward-looking work on educational development in the targeted sub-region and elsewhere.
