Language and Literacy in West Africa.
Bokamba, Eyamba G.
Annual Review of Applied Linguistics, v4 p40-74 1983
An overview of literacy education in West Africa between 1800-1959 precedes an exploration of developments occurring since its independence, focusing on such factors affecting the lack of progress in the battle against literacy as disarticulation between educational development objectives and educational systems, language policies, teaching resources, and financial resources.
