J. Jammeh Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Department of Educational Studies School of Education October 2012 ii DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to Mrs. Maimuna Saidy-Jammeh for her unflinching support throughout our life partnership. In particular, her excellent care of our family and relatives while I was studying abroad, her continued solidarity, moral and emotional supports in my moment of joy as well as times of sorrow shall ever be remembered. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all those who contributed to the success of my study. First and foremost, I appreciate the support given by the Government of the Republic of The Gambia through the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education for making my studies possible by granting me the fellowship and study leave. I am particularly indebted to the Permanent Secretary (Mr. Baboucarr Bouy) for his support and encouragement throughout my period of studies. My sincere thanks go to the Senior Management Team and staff of the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education. My staffs of the Directorate of Curriculum Research, Evaluation, Development and In-service Training have indeed cooperated in their dedication to professional responsibilities in my absences. Without this, I could not have completed my studies.
