Book Synopsis Aspects of Education in the Middle East and Africa by : Colin Brock
Download or read book Aspects of Education in the Middle East and Africa written by Colin Brock. This book was released on 2007-05-07. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chapters in this volume do not represent the whole of the Middle East and North Africa, as such a collection would have been too large for one volume. Rather, the selection here is intended to present different perspectives on a range of educational issues, relevant to a particular focus or country, or common to a number of countries in the area. There is no overarching theme beyond that which is common to most of the countries in this area; such as modernity versus tradition; the spread of education effecting sociological changes - most pronounced in the rural and tribal areas; the changing fortunes and roles of women; the aspiration and expectation of youth; and the state having become the major player in providing education. These are all shared by most of the countries represented here.
