Description
Designing Education Policy for Sub-Saharan African Countries is the culmination of five years of extensive research and analysis of global educational systems as they compare with the challenges and opportunities in Sub-Saharan Africa, with a lens on Southern Cameroons. As African youths demonstrate purpose and a desire for sovereignty and self-governance, quality education remains critical in realizing these aspirations. Drawing from over 35 years of experience as an educator on various continents, Elizabeth Bifuh-Ambe courageously confronts the complex interactions of education with colonialism and other systems that perpetuate inequalities within the continent. She highlights the transformative power of education as a source of cultural pride and a conduit for socio-economic development that is essential if Africa must break free from historical patterns of dependency in the ongoing fight for genuine independence. This is the book we have been waiting for.
Advance Praise
“Designing Education Policy for Sub-Saharan African Countries is a timely research-based contribution to global education systems, especially the educational system of Southern Cameroons, which will have to be overhauled entirely when peace and stability return. Due to its comparative analysis approach, which examines some highly rated global systems, other countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere can identify weaknesses or areas of improvement within existing policies based on their understanding of the background factors that drive effective policy design and implementation. I highly endorse this work because of its potential to improve current and future education policies in multiple contexts.”

“This ground-breaking publication is the book that we have been waiting for. Grounded in empirical research, the book examines the existing education policies in Sub-Saharan Africa, a part of the world that is still left behind in terms of technological and industrial advancements compared to other nations. Through comparative analysis, Elizabeth Bifuh-Ambe examines global education policies that work and traces the roots of the sociopolitical and economic woes and social unrests in parts of Sub-Saharan Africa to an unsuitable education system that was inherited from former colonial masters. She identifies problems at all levels of the La Republique du Cameroon and Southern Cameroons’ sub-systems of education and recommends a blueprint based on hybridity that, if implemented, would meet the personal, sociocultural, and political aspirations of Southern Cameroonians and position them as competitive players in the 21st-century global economy.”
