Comparative Int'l Education

Comparative International Education

This course offers students interested in education, development, social issues, and policy an introduction to the formal and non-formal educational systems and structures throughout the francophone world from a comparative and international perspective. It addresses the impact of globalization on education systems and the role that international organizations, NGOs and the private sector play in providing and financing alternative educational programs at various levels of instruction. Given the complex histories, and the dramatic inequalities among francophone countries, this class will emphasize the interrelationships of history, culture, colonialism, economic and political systems, equity, and social justice. We will also examine model programs, innovative initiatives. and educational reforms.
