WZB-Mitteilungen: Quartalsheft für Sozialforschung, 2024, issue 184 (2/24), Online-Supplement

Abstract: Can Tanzania and Kenya serve as development models for the Global South? Günther Schmid analyzes the education systems of both countries and looks at indicators for educational success such as educational equality and quality. What is the idea of education behind the two systems? What was the spirit of optimism among politicians such as Julius K. Nyerere, the former president of Tanzania? In the 1990s, the report of the so-called Southern Commission formulated educational ideas for Africa that are still influential today.
