This book examines the new donor concept "education for all" which was coined at a World Bank initiated conference in 1990 in Jomtien, Thailand. What does "education for all" really mean? The battle over the concept going on at the conference is described. What has happened since? Where in the education sector in Africa have the donors put their money? They have, through the aid they give, the power to define the concept. There is reason to claim that "education for all" really has become "schooling for some". Schooling meaning a formal primary schooling of a Western type with curriculum dependency on the West, examinations and text-books from the West and a strengthening of Euro languages. A quadrangled building has been erected in a village of round huts.
The author uses her experience from the many years she worked in Tanzania from her work in Namibia and South Africa as well as consultancy trips to Niger, Guinea, Uganda and Swaziland to examine what is going on in the education sector in Africa. What is happening to the African Languages as languages of instruction? In whose language is "education for all" taking place?
