Fundamentals of Sociology of Education: With Reference to Africa

Abstract

Education as a process through which a society's way of life is transmitted to the incoming generation is interactive and takes place under different environments. Fundamentals of Sociology of Education with Reference to Africa is about processes, practices, and agencies involved in socialisation and education, particularly the ways in which schools, through their teachers, curricula and organisation, influence the young. The book targets students undertaking Bachelor of Education and Postgraduate diploma in education courses at the university level, and those studying for ordinary diploma and teacher certificate qualifications from diploma and primary teacher training colleges respectively.
