Education in Africa.

Check out this impressive article by Dr. Tafataona Mahoso on the ills of Africa's agency-driven education. Surely this is a masterpiece. Few can write at this intellectual level. If only a substantial part of our population could understand how for so long Africa has been a pawn in a chess game played on it's own board. Important points were raised. One that I liked had to do with the emergence of good governance as an objective pushed by international organisations like the World Bank (WB).

From what I understood and agreed with from the article had to do with how these WB-type organisations always put the blame of the apparent "lack of success" of African economies on Africans themselves when that isn't true at all.

Some of the policies put forward by these organisations like the Structural Adjustment Programmes (SAP) have caused a lot of harm to our continent but you hear some telling you that it was necessary to do so. How lost some are indeed. But hey, read Mahoso's article and get a more concise analysis.
