Quality Education in Rural Learning Ecologies in Zimbabwe : Obstacles and Opportunities

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book brings together a series of papers on education in rural Zimbabwe. It is informed throughout by the generative theory of rurality, which sees rural communities as the most significant agents in solving the challenges they face. Against this theoretical backdrop, the 13 chapters challenge policy makers, researchers and educators to confront the problem of poor academic performance among learners in rural learning ecologies. The book demonstrates that rural communities, in Zimbabwe and elsewhere, can improve their educational outcomes through community-led action, involving traditional leadership and other stakeholders. The key message is that communities have the opportunity to become the authors of their own destinies in shaping future educational results.'This book brings together important views on improving learning in rural ecologies.
