Problems of cooperation in Africa: • Researchers in the developed West and those in Africa are “unequal partners in unequal settings” – a good summary (Veronika Fuest, “German-African Research Cooperation: Practices, Problems and Policies”. Afrika Spectrum 42 (2007) 3: 483-505)
Long-standing crisis in the African Education Sector • Since inception, ill-adapted system • Part of the colonization machinery (but some difference between Anglophone and Francophone Africa) • Schism between School and Reality • Failure of Education to produce Development
