How appropriate then that the CommonwealthCouncil for Educational Administration (CCEA), an organization which hasfostered many significant advances in education throughout the world, chose tomark its twentieth anni- versary with a publication entitledAdvancing Education: School Leadership in Action. How equally appropriate that the respectivePresidents of the CCEA over that twenty years, and three of the Commonwealth'sleading figures in the educational administration field, Bill Walker from Australia,Robin Farquhar from Canada, and Meredydd Hughes from theUK, agreed to edit the publi- cation. It is clear that the editors have taken great care torecruit authors who are not only universityofficers and scholars, directors of majorinstitutions for administrative training and education, heads of schoolsand school systems and senior government and association officials,but also people who are known to be highly knowledgeable, and haveimpressive records of success in the study and practice of educationaladministration and represent a broad cross section of Commonwealthcountries. The volume is published withthe assistance of the Harry Harris Memorial Fund, and itis fitting to note here the contribution to CCEA's development over twenty yearsof successive Execu- tive Directors: John Ewing, Harry Harris, BasilKings and John Weeks. This is a timely, impressive and historic publication and onethat clearly achieves its objectives. Bill Mulford (President, Commonwealth Council for EducationalAdministration) October 1990 vii Preface The Commonwealth Council for Educational Administration (CCEA) was founded in 1970, its prime objective being to further the quality of educational administration through the development of a network of practitioners and scholars in the field. As the chapters in this book by Walker and Weeks clearly show, the growth of the CCEA has been remarkable, educators in all parts of the Commonwealth now being linked through conferences, regional meetings, directories, case studies, journals, travel grants and a host of other activities. Many, though by no means all, of these activities emanate from the CCEA Secretariat in Armidale, Australia. During 1988 the Board of the Council determined thatan appropriate means of marking the CCEA's twentieth anniversary in 1990 would be the publication of a book which would appeal to all withan interest in the administration of schools and school systems, but in particular to practitioners in the field. The Board invited the Council's first three Presidents Bill Walker of Australia, Robin Farquhar of Canada and Meredydd Hughes of the UK to edit such a volume, which was to include contributions from across the length and breadth of the Commonwealth.

  • The Mis-Education of the African Child: the Evolution of British Colonial Education Policy in Southern Nigeria, 1900–1925
    Athens Journal of History - Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2021 – Pages 141-162 The Mis-education of the African Child: The Evolution of British Colonial Education Policy in Southern Nigeria, 1900–1925 By Bekeh Utietiang Ukelina Education did not occupy a primal place in the European colonial project in Africa. The ideology of "civilizing mission", which provided the moral and legal basis for colonial expansion, did little to provide African children with the kind of education that their counterparts in Europe received. Throughout Africa, south of the Sahara, colonial governments made little or no investments in the education of African children. In an attempt to run empire on a shoestring budget, the colonial state in Nigeria provided paltry sums of grants to the missionary groups that operated in the colony and protectorate. This paper explores the evolution of the colonial education system in the Southern provinces of Nigeria, beginning from the year of Britain’s official colonization of Nigeria to 1925 when Britain released an official policy on education in tropical Africa. This paper argues that the colonial state used the school system as a means to exert power over the people. Power was exercised through an education system that limited the political, technological, and economic advancement of the colonial people. The state adopted a curricular that emphasized character formation and vocational training and neglected teaching the students, critical thinking and advanced sciences. The purpose of education was to make loyal and submissive subjects of the state who would serve as a cog in the wheels of the exploitative colonial machine.

  • Aliu Babatunde Fafunwa's Philosophy of Education
    Makerere Journal of Higher Education ISSN: 1816-6822; 9 (1) (2017) 87 – 96 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/majohe.v9i1.7 © The Author(s) 2017 East African School of Reprints & permission: EASHESD Higher Education Studies & Development http://ajol.info/majohe Aliu Babatunde Fafunwa’s Philosophy of Education A. F. Oyelade 1 1 Department of Arts Education, Faculty of Education, University of Ilorin *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. As the first indigenous Nigerian professor of Education and as a highly influential Nigerian Minister of Education, Aliu Babatunde Fafunwa is distinguished and honoured in Nigeria and elsewhere as a thought leader in the area of education. It is with this understanding that this study traced his philosophy of education with the view to highlight the underpinnings, meanings and significance of his views and actions. Using logical, linguistic, critical, and expository analyses, the study concluded that his worldview and work typify a philosophy of cultural reconstruction. The philosophy stresses continuous cultural reconstruction of society through education—for sustainable development of the society. It is argued that the philosophy has implications for education and development in Nigeria. Therefore, it is recommended for the country and similar countries. Keywords: Aliu Babatunde Fafunwa; Philosophy; Reform. 1 Introduction This paper examines Aliu Babatunde Fafunwa’s thoughts on education. These thoughts are found in his speeches, publications and actions at various times, at various stages of his life/ career. He was born in 1923 in Lagos, Nigeria and was the first Nigerian to be appointed professor of Education (Aladejana & Alao, 1992:15). Moreover he had many landmark achievements during his work experience in various areas of life.

  • Refocusing Physics Education in Nigeria: Issues
    ISSN 2039-9340 Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences Vol 3 (13) November 2012 Harnessing the Multilingual Factors of Nigeria for Development: The Challenges and Strategies Ògúnwálé, Joshua Abíódún Department Of Linguistics and African Languages Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria Doi:10.5901/mjss.2012.v3n13p203 Abstract The arbitrary and haphazard territorial boundaries imposed by the colonial powers in the last two centuries or so did not take cognizance of the people’s diversities before differentiating Nigeria and other sub-Saharan African states. As a result, the geo-political enclave now known as a country encompasses people with varying linguo-cultural identities. This has continued to have far reaching effects on the socio- economic potentials of the nation. It is further argued that the post-independence Nigeria’s slow pace on the road of progress is largely due to the non-participation of the Nigerian mono-lingual majority in the socio-economic and political affairs of the nation. This is either as a result of the non-availability, non- utilization or defective language policy, or its absence, that is geared towards the use of mother-tongues. This paper, however contends that positive results can still be gleaned from the resourceful utilization and positive involvements of the Nigerian factors despite her multilingualism. An empirical survey on the area of activities where English domination is mostly manifested was conducted among some secondary schools located in the south western part of Nigeria. It was found that European influence had continued to have series of devastating effects on the self actualization ethos of the nation because wealth of indigenous knowledge was being locked away in the local languages and was gradually being lost as the custodians of these knowledge passed on.

  • Genre and Identity in British and Irish National Histories, 1541-1691
    “NO ROOM IN HISTORY”: GENRE AND IDENTIY IN BRITISH AND IRISH NATIONAL HISTORIES, 1541-1691 A dissertation presented by Sarah Elizabeth Connell to The Department of English In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts April 2014 1 “NO ROOM IN HISTORY”: GENRE AND IDENTIY IN BRITISH AND IRISH NATIONAL HISTORIES, 1541-1691 by Sarah Elizabeth Connell ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University April 2014 2 ABSTRACT In this project, I build on the scholarship that has challenged the historiographic revolution model to question the valorization of the early modern humanist narrative history’s sophistication and historiographic advancement in direct relation to its concerted efforts to shed the purportedly pious, credulous, and naïve materials and methods of medieval history. As I demonstrate, the methodologies available to early modern historians, many of which were developed by medieval chroniclers, were extraordinary flexible, able to meet a large number of scholarly and political needs. I argue that many early modern historians worked with medieval texts and genres not because they had yet to learn more sophisticated models for representing the past, but rather because one of the most effective ways that these writers dealt with the political and religious exigencies of their times was by adapting the practices, genres, and materials of medieval history. I demonstrate that the early modern national history was capable of supporting multiple genres and reading modes; in fact, many of these histories reflect their authors’ conviction that authentic past narratives required genres with varying levels of facticity.

  • The Evolution of the African Student in American Higher Education, 1960-1980
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship Repository FROM STUDENT TO IMMIGRANT: THE DIASPORIZATION OF THE AFRICAN STUDENT IN THE UNITED STATES BY OLANIPEKUN LAOSEBIKAN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Policy Studies in the Graduate College University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Christopher M. Span, Chair Professor James D. Anderson Associate Professor Yoon K. Pak Assistant Professor Bekisizwe Ndimande ABSTRACT This dissertation examines African student non-return within the larger historical pursuit of higher education in the United States by African students. Non-return by African students as addressed in this study is a process more than two centuries old extending directly across four defined phases of African student migrations. Key primary documents including the autobiographies of African students, correspondence between African students and other primary agents of African student migrations as well as oral interviews from African students turned permanent settlers from the fourth phase of African student migrations to the United States, are utilized in this dissertation. The perspectives of the non-returning African student in this dissertation address three important areas central to analyzing non-return; first, the factors that shaped the choices of non-returning African students to study in the United States; second, the social and cultural experiences encountered as a part of their educational migrations; and last, the decision to non-return. Non-return as articulated through interviews in this dissertation and supported by other primary and secondary source documentation is identified as a fluid process constantly shifting in response to internal and external pressures as well as historical and contemporary forces.

Introduction 2.1 Communities and Local Government is committed to constructive industrial relations with staff and their representatives and recognises the need for appropriate and timely communication, consultation or negotiation (Chapter 12.4 of the Staff Handbook refers) on changes to policy, departmental structures, working practices or terms and conditions of employment. 2.2 This Agreement is subject to the provisions of Chapters 1 and 12 of the CLG Staff Handbook. It provides guidance to managers and Trade Union representatives throughout the Department on the communication, consultation and negotiation process involved when managers are developing proposals that might affect staff, such as proposed changes to structures, working practices and conditions of employment. 2.3 Staff and their representatives should be fully informed of, and consulted about, proposals that affect staff, with agreement being required for changes to contractual terms and conditions of employment. Management and the Trade Unions should allow sufficient time to ensure that meaningful consultation takes place. Union representatives should be given the opportunity to respond and make their representations. Where the Department cannot agree on non contractual matters with those representations, the unions will be given a full explanation of why this is the case. 2.4 Reaching a common understanding of change, why and whether it is needed, should be the first stage in the process.

  • An Appraisal of Public Schools' Facilities in Ikeja
    International Journal of Environmental Design & Construction Management Vol. 19 No. 4 Published by Cambridge Research and Publications September, 2020. AN APPRAISAL OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS’ FACILITIES IN IKEJA, LAGOS STATE, NIGERIA LASISI, KAMIL OLURANTI; AND ADETUNJI, JELILAT Department of Urban and Regional Planning, the Polytechnic, Ibadan. ABSTRACT It has been observed over the years that the rapid rate of decline in the educational sector has to be urgently looked into as there have been scenarios of overcrowding in classrooms owing to its inadequacy, limited classrooms, dilapidated structures, inadequate teaching staff and teaching tools, lack or total decay of basic amenities, hence the production of ill-equipped and half- baked products among the host of other associated anomalies. The aim of the study is to appraise the provision, availability and adequacy of educational facilities within Ikeja Local Government Area of Lagos State with a view to make proactive measures that would assist the educational sector in the study area. The study identifies the factors militating against the growth of educational facilities in the study area. The cross-sectional survey type of design was used. The primary sources of data involved questionnaire, personal interview and direct observation. The 22 respondents that represent the target population for the study were selected with a predetermined technique where questionnaires were administered to the 22 school management of the public schools. It was observed that most schools, both Junior and Senior Secondary schools that are located within the same confines, have shared facilities, such facilities include the playing ground, canteen, library, computer lab while science laboratories such as biology lab, physics lab and chemistry lab are solely being used by the senior secondary schools.

Okoro, Ph.D Department of History and International Relations, Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki *Corresponding Author: S.I. Okoro, Ph.D, Department of History and International Relations, Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki Abstract: The Igbo inhabit what is presently referred to as South East Geopolitical zone in Nigeria. They also make up a sizeable chunk of the population of another geopolitical zone-South South. These areas were located in the colonial- inspired Oil Rivers Protectorate and the Colony and Protectorate of Southern Nigeria. Between 1906 and 1914, a Protectorate of Southern and Northern Nigeria stood side by side each other as the main administrative divisions of the colonial state. At the behest of the British Colonialists, a Western type and missionary-inspired educational system was introduced and accepted by the dominant ethnicities of Igbo and Yoruba of the Protectorate of Southern Nigeria; while the Hausa/Fulani Muslim – dominated Protectorate of Northern Nigeria rejected this education. This paper aims to analyze the development of the Western type educational system in the South East geopolitical zone (Igbo Area) of the country over the years since its implantation. It also seeks to determine what strides and challenges that have attended this development, and how the compatriots of the Igbo have viewed and reacted to this trend. The paper relies mainly on documented secondary sources and the publications and findings of such educational regulatory agencies as the National Universities Commission (NUC) and the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), among others, to reach its conclusions.
