Editorial Reviews

Review

“Clive Harber has done his readers a real service in bringing together an array of established and new Southern African authors to provide us with new insights into both familiar and less well-documented national cases. The book is an invaluable addition to the comparative education literature.” —Simon McGrath, Director of Research, School of Education, University of Nottingham, UK

“Much has been achieved by education throughout Southern Africa in recent decades, while much also remains to be done in this diverse and rapidly changing region. This collection of well-informed and insightful analyses provides readers with valuable, carefully contextualised and locally grounded assessments of key educational achievements and challenges across the nine countries that are examined.” —Michael Crossley, Professor of Comparative and International Education, University of Bristol, UK
