Education, Politics and Social Change in Ethiopia

Publisher Marketing: In a multi-disciplinary approach, this seminal work examines, among others, the role of western education, impact of being instructed in English, the invention and imposition of a new WoGaGoDa language in the South, and the national educational strategic plans. With scholarly rigor, eminent Ethiopian scholars offer to enlighten readers on the role of education over the last 100 years. I recommend this book to anyone interested to feed their intellectual-soul on education, development, and politics in Ethiopia.--Worku Negash, Ph.
