Course Description & Objectives:

Education has long been viewed as a tool for solving or alleviating social, political and economic problems. The course examines the relationship between education and development. It seeks to highlight the assumptions behind the education/development nexus so as to enable a critical appraisal of it. Is it not that the system of education we inherited from the colonist is a hindrance to development? How can educational (including curricular, pedagogical etc) reform genuinely result into development? It focuses on education as key factor for liberation and modernization.

Analyze the relationship between education and development.
