Capacity Development of Education Reform in Emerging Economies: African Context and Guinean Perspectives (en Inglés) - Diallo Mamadou Saliou

Through an in-depth analysis of Guinea's Education for All (EFA) program, this book examines why education reform initiatives in emerging economies often fail despite significant international investment and political commitment.

The book challenges conventional explanations and demonstrates that sustainable reform requires endogenous-driven change rooted in local contexts rather than externally imposed solutions. Drawing on interviews and extensive policy analysis, it employs political economy as an analytical framework to trace Guinea's education reform under the EFA program. Using an empirical approach, the book examines the entire reform cycle from policy formulation to implementation, and its innovative methodology that bridges theoretical gaps while establishing grounds for interdisciplinary dialogue on education development in culturally diverse contexts. These implications go beyond Africa, offering invaluable perceptions for shaping reform policies driven by global educational movement, and further inform future policymaking and research endeavours in the dynamic field of educational reform.

Providing actional insights and a rigorous methodological framework for analysing development interventions in culturally diverse contexts, this book will be of relevance to scholars, researchers, and academics in the fields of educational reform, education policy and politics, school leadership and management as well as comparative education.
