Cultural Issues in Secondary Education Development in West Africa: Away from Colonial Survivals, towards Neocolonial Influences.
Quist, Hubert O.
Comparative Education, v37 n3 p297-314 Aug 2001
In urban Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), cultural factors arising from West Africa's "triple cultural heritage" (African, Euro-Christian, and Islamic) and globalization place considerable strains on secondary education and have implications for postcolonial nation-building and development. Surveys of 200 secondary students in the two countries indicate their preferences for European languages and music. (Contains 40 references.) (Author/SV)
