• Call for submissions
We are currently accepting submissions for the 5th issue of the Journal on Contemporray Educational Issues. ISSN: 1119-8249
The Theme is: Democracy, Accountability and Educational Management. Vol 4(1). Deadline for paper submission is July 30th 2008
The 1990s were the years of demilitarization and democratization in the developing countries. Schools (primary, secondary and tertiary) have supposedly being influenced. Educators are prone to query the nature, focus substance and directions of these changes in the management of schools. In Nigeria for example, it could be asked if democracy has impacted positively on the management of public schools, or how justifiable was the attempted privatization of Federal/Unity schools by the central administration or in Lagos state ask if the high-faulting pronouncements of the fire-branding activist government transformed into smooth efficient, non-dictatorial management of schools and boards. Does paper democracy translate into comfortable and professionally acceptable classrooms? The editors will welcome critically yet empirical submissions. Are school managers psychologically repressed in the emergent democracies in Africa?
