Additional information
by Ebenezer 'Solo' Collier (Author)
This book gives details of policies, programmes and statistical outcomes of Sierra Leone's educational system. It is important, particularly for policy makers, as it may serve as input to the debate on future education policy development and has the potential for contributing to research literature on implementation of educational policies. Sierra Leoneans should access relevant knowledge of the development of education during the 50 years of Independence which has been lacking and which this book presents. As such, it can also be a useful reference material for college and university lecturers.
