Transnational View of Basic Education: Issues of Access, Quality, and Community Participation in West and Central Africa.

摘要

Most African countries have devoted considerable attention to educating the generations of people born since the independence era. Their efforts reflect the political will expressed by the Charter on Education adopted at the 1961 Conference of Addis Ababa and the 1990 Jomtien World Declaration on Education for All, and subsequently reaffirmed in the 2000 Dakar Framework for Action. These international agreements have been made concrete through implementing programs aimed at reforming the education systems inherited from the colonial period. Those programs have aimed to convey a new vision of society which, while respecting African identity, would allow these countries to take an increasingly active part in the community of nations and to affirm the right of education for all.
