Talk:Education in Africa/Archive 1

Template:Education infobox
I created a template, Template:Education infobox which can give a quick at a glance demographics table for education articles. See its implementation at Education in the United States and feel free to help improve the template.--naryathegreat | (talk) 01:00, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

The scope of this article
This article is too wide in scope. It generalises, and exerbarates the perception that Africa is all the same everywhere. An aricle named Education in Europe would be speedily deleted. --Ezeu 15:11, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * It could be rescoped to Education in Sub-Saharan Africa, but the world often talks about Africa or at least Sub-Saharan Africa as a single entity so wikipedia has to provide some reflection of that. For example, there's Nepad program, which has to be discussed in an article with this scope. Kappa 05:59, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Corruption in education
I have recently completed a lot of research on the corruption in education in Africa, I hope to develop an extensive section on that because I think unfortunately it has become central to the state of education. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice for me in doing this new section? troth2 12:25, 27 April 2011 (EST)

Further translations (French, German, Arabian)
Hi, I think this topic should be translated into further languages, especially those present at the continent itself and in those countries providing aid. A general overview should be available in as much Wikis as possible. Cheers, Horst-schlaemma (talk) 10:34, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Negativity of this article
The tone of this article is quite problematic. It starts off with "lack" and "overcrowding" and "disparity." Yet Africa is, as a continent, the place where so many early educational forms began, for instance, monasticism. Through it's presentist bias, and its refusal to address non-Western forms of education, it is reproducing stereotypical views of Africa. As one main suggestion, it should have a section on traditional education, both Islamic, as in West Africa, and Christian, as in Ethiopia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wendybelcher (talk • contribs) 18:25, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
