Education m Senegal: Problems and attempted solutions

This work is intended as an introduction to the study of problems in education in Senegal. It tries to indicate the comparative worth of some of the solutions to these problems, and to set them in an objective manner in their context in the general pattern of education, She thesis endeavours to show why certain attempted solutions have, come to nothing, and why others may be likely to fail. It suggests alternative solutions, or other possible ways to achieve the desired results within the framework of the existing system. The book shows that Senegal has perhaps attempted too much too soon in educational development, and, on the eve of the Third Plan for the Beonomio Development of Senegal tries to present a re-assessment of the priority accorded to various plans for the reform of the educational system; to re-examine the aims and aspirations; to take stock of the present situation, and to indicate further promising avenues of experiment and ' change for the future.
