This book was released on 2018-07-19 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the historical development of educational administration in Cameroon from the Traditional (indigenous) Education in the sixteen century, through the post-colonial eras (1960- Present) in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, to current concerns about the Cameroon educational system in the twenty-first century. It aims to showcase a chronological list of educational orders, education acts, policy acts, reports and other key educational development events in Cameroon. Similarly, while it deals with the educational administration and planning activities in Cameroon are presented according to the following thirteen major eras: indigenous traditional education; Indigenous Philosophies of African Education; the pre-colonial (1844-1884); the colonial (1884-1960/61); the German protectorate (1884-1914); The years of the first world war and peace settlement (1914-1922); French and British mandates (1922-191946); Education in French Cameroon Mandate (1916-1960); Education in British Cameroon Mandate (1914-1961); French and British Trusteeship (1946-1960/1961); the trusteeship in French Cameroon; the Trusteeship period in British Southern Cameroon; education in the federation period (1960-1972); education in the United Republic of Cameroon (1972-1984); education in the Republic of Cameroon (1984-2004); and the current state of education in Cameroon is given where it is relevant to the development of education administration generally. In addition to the thirteen main eras there's also useful information about the Cameroon Educational Context; a glossary of commonly used terminology to describe the Ideological Phenomena Influencing Structural Reforms in Cameroon Educational System. I hope will be especially useful for non-Cameroon readers; and a bibliography (which is a compilation of all the quoted sources listed at the end of this publication).
Download or read book Effectiveness of School Leadership and Management Development in Cameroon written by Frederick Ebot Ashu and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-17 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers a number of key epistemological, ontological and methodological questions exploring the effectiveness of school leadership and management development training programmes for school leaders in a range of settings and for a range of people. Consideration is also given to practical concerns associated with this topic, such as the importance of management and Leadership Development programmes supporting school leaders to become effective leaders supporting school effectiveness. Effectiveness of School Leadership and Management Development in Cameroon addresses key methodological issues including the rationale for adopting a qualitative mixed-methodology research approach with elements of literature and documental analysis; surveys; ethical considerations and challenges with sampling techniques in considering the impact that school leaders in Cameroon have on researchers’ findings; and the production of knowledge. In addressing such topics, it answers important questions about how reliability can be ensured, how rigour can be safeguarded and what impact documental analysis and school leaders’ views have on the validity and interpretation of research findings. This book is the first of its kind to combine practical leadership theories in developing leadership development frameworks reflections with clearly presented recommendations about how the approach can be used. It will be invaluable to academics, practitioners and other agencies wishing to adopt participatory research methods which place school leaders and their schools at the centre of this research. This book is also an essential read for academics and students with an interest in qualitative mixed methodologies on leadership development of school leaders, and will become a key text for school leadership research methods courses, given its concern with practical leadership models as well as more complex leadership development theories.

Download or read book Africa Handbook for School Leadership written by Vitallis Chikoko and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook was conceived upon a realisation that while education systems in African countries share many commonalities because of a common history, there was paucity of shared literature regarding school leadership in those systems. Scholars and students of Educational Leadership and Management have for many decades relied, in fact over-relied on literature from Europe, North America and Australia. The dilemma is that literature from the latter regions of the world cannot and will not tell Africas story to the full. In many an education system, sound leadership is the missing link not only in the running of the education systems but the entire states. In seeking to deeply understand and address this leadership conundrum, it is imperative that African scholars tell their own African stories by way of generating cutting-edge literature in that regard, particularly empirical evidence.This handbook is a one-stop platform on which readers including under- and postgraduate students of education, novice and seasoned researchers in the field of educational leadership and management, education policy makers and non-governmental organisations have an opportunity to consume empirical evidence by African scholars on aspects of school leadership in Africa. Students of comparative education will also find this collection very useful. Non-governmental organisations may find this handbook quite revealing in terms of some of the common issues emerging that may be worth investing funds into. A typical example of such themes is the development of school leaders. Authors were invited to write on a school leadership matter they considered topical in their country. Each author did not have any knowledge about what others were writing about their own countries. Therefore the handbook is a collection of topics unique to a country according to the author in question. Therefore even where the chapter titles may sound similar, the content in each case is contextually different. Context is very important all cases when we seek to understand and write about any subject. This collection is rich in contexts from East, Central, North, West and Southern Africa. Thus, this handbook is ideal in every University Faculty of Education library, in the shelves of education policy makers and in the hands of all those who are passionate about advancing educational leadership on the African continent and the scholarship of this field worldwide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning to Lead for Transformation takes an international and inclusive approach, exploring learning and educational leadership from different cultural and theoretical perspectives, from Habermas' theory of cognitive interests to Freire's approach to education and Ngara's decolonized epistemology and Ubuntu-based developmental approach. Enriching his presentation with Japanese and Western examples, Ngara uses the African tradition of storytelling as well as engaging exercises to explore: - The developmental approach to teaching and learning - The link between the proposed pedagogy and leadership development - The importance of relevant curriculum content - The importance of approaches based on indigenous knowledge systems or cultural traditions. Each topic is introduced with a “tuning in exercise”, and the reader is guided to reflect on their own experiences and understanding throughout the book with discussion points and activities.

Cameroon, like many African nations, can trace the origin of its formal education to evangelization and imperialism, both of which have greatly influenced the development, structure and content of its educational system.

Download or read book History of Education written by Yongho Nchih Nichodemus and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-02-14 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, however, the main purpose of education, whether formal or informal, has been to produce people who will be useful members of society. The type and level of education keep changing continuously with the needs of society. Hence, in the olden days when communities were small and largely rural and self-sufficient, the system of education, with few exceptions, was informal and non-illiterate. It is clear, therefore, that when we talk about the history of education we usually mean the evolution of the philosophies and institutions involved in the formal transmission of culture in various societies of the world from the earliest times to the present. In other words, a comprehensive study of the history of education would generally include a narrative of educational philosophies, aims, contents and purposes; curricula, public attitude and support; the teaching-learning process and methods applied; the preparation of professional personnel - teachers, administration specialists in various fields, and a full description of changes in educational organization and structure through time. The study of the history of education and of educational ideas enables students of education to know the origins of important educational developments and what is behind a national's educational principles and practices. In other words, it makes it possible for the student to understand the variant philosophies of education based on the actual practices which prevail, but in which theories are modified and adapted to suit national characteristics. The study of the history of education unquestionably throws some light on a nation's contemporary educational problems since there is hardly any new problems in education all problems being the outcome of past mistakes. History of education is a window on the soul of every nation. It stimulates the intellectual development of students exposed to it. It is important in the education of the African because it opens his eyes to the dangers and challenges of the African educational system. In particular, it exposes the colonial and post-independence African education for its hollowness and poorly articulated programmes which have failed to respond to the needs of contemporary Africa. The reasons for this failure, he gets to realize, are not far-fetched. The obvious omissions in the colonial curriculum of the past and the neo-colonial curriculum of the present, their de facto exclusions; the compromises for power, the normative void, the unreasonableness in rationality, all point to the need to reconsider African educational influences and to re-educate the old legitimacies. For, from the earliest colonial times to the present, African education has not demonstrated by ideas or acts, its commitment to Africa and the African environment.
