This book should appeal to scholars interested in education, especially on the African continent, African history, and European influence in African society and history. for the provision of schools and the expansion of education in Cameroon. It offers an examination of the role of missionary agencies, successive colonial and national governments and private agencies (confessional and lay) in the establishment of schools within the context of social, economic, cultural and political obligations. 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 Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Cameroon written by Mark Dike DeLancey and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-06-15 with total page 831 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cameroon is a land of much promise, but a land of unfulfilled promises. It has the potential to be an economically developed and democratic society but the struggle to live up to its potential has not gone well. Since independence there have been only two presidents of Cameroon; the current one has been in office since 1982. Endowed with a variety of climates and agricultural environments, numerous minerals and substantial forests, and a dynamic population, this is a country that should be a leader of Africa. Instead, we find a country almost paralyzed by corruption and poor management, a country with a low life expectancy and serious health problems, and a country from which the most talented and highly educated members of the population are emigrating in large numbers. To all of this is recently added a serious terrorism problem, Boko Haram, in the north, a separatist movement in the Anglophone west, refugee influxes in the north and east, and bandits from the Central African Republic attacking eastern villages. This fifth edition of Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Cameroon contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 300 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the Republic of Cameroon.

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 Rurality Social Justice and Education in Sub Saharan Africa Volume I written by Alfred Masinire and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-12 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores rurality and education in sub-Saharan Africa through a lens of social justice. The first in a two-volume project, this book explores the possibilities and constraints of rural social justice in diverse educational contexts: how should rurality be defined? How does education shape and reshape what it means to be rural? Drawing chapters from a diverse range of contributors in sub-Saharan Africa, the two volumes are underpinned by a robust social justice approach to rural schooling and its intersections with access, gender, colonialism, social mobility and dis/ability. Ultimately, these volumes reflect the need to shift conceptions of rurality from colonial and conservative stereotypes to an appreciation of rurality as locations in space and time, with their own unique attributes and opportunities. Harnessing indigenous African concepts of justice to open up conversations into teaching and knowledge production in higher education, this book will be of interest to scholars of rurality and education, as well as wider discussions on decolonising the academy.

This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research is a pioneering study in comparative education in the context of Cameroon in particular, and Africa in general, which highlights present-day school and classroom instances of language socialisation as instantiating Anglophone and Francophone education traditions in their representation of the British and French educational legacies from the colonial era. Its findings point to practices specific to each study site and to Anglophone and Francophone subsystems of education as they translate local, national and global education perspectives and parallel Anglophone and Francophone cultures writ large. The narrative, analysis and findings of this study are, therefore, of relevance to educational communities in other countries, as issues of language socialisation, ideology, identity, bilingualism/multilingualism and comparative education are raised from a language- and culture-learning angle. The findings of this work also present emerging patterns of communal practices resulting from the coexistence of both subsystems of education, while the empirical data presented expose an inadequacy between official bilingualism discourse and its implementation in schools which may have a significant impact on future orientation of this policy in schools in Cameroon. This book will be useful to scholars interested in the fields of language socialisation and comparative education in general, and in Africa and Cameroon in particular. It will also be of interest to language policymakers in the context of Cameroon, as data from schools indicate that official bilingualism practice does not echo policy discourse and problematises the construct of a Cameroonian identity as constitutive of Anglophone, Francophone and local cultures. The data report, however, shows that the paradigm shift in teachers’ perceptions about the value of languages apparently influenced pupils’ attitudes towards the various languages to which they were being socialised, both at home and in school, and particularly shaped their understanding of the necessity of learning the second official language.
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.
