520 "As the demand for education at all levels has increased,
so have the models of meeting these increased demands for
education. As in many other parts of the world, public
education has expanded to serve large populations across
the regions of Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East.
Many nations in these regions have instituted mandates,
policies, and frameworks intended to simultaneously
increase access to public education opportunities as well
as improve the quality of education provided and to
address a wide populace. Because the increase in
educational demand has occurred at all levels, these
efforts often address various levels of education from
early childhood through primary schooling, junior
secondary and secondary schooling and into tertiary
education. Efforts also have been made to increase
participation in education by marginalized and/or special
populations. The range of efforts is large with some
focusing on involving migrants/immigrants/refugees in
primary education while others aim at opening up choices
at the university level. Recently, nations in the region
have recognized the possibilities of digital learning
(online learning) as cell phones and other widely used
portable wireless devices have made it possible to sell
the idea that one can learn from anywhere at any time.
This widespread access to technology has made it possible
for governments as well as private entities to expand
learning opportunities even to populations previously
unreached or to address difficult to reach sectors of the
population. At the same time, the population itself has
not only increased in numbers but in diversity.
Maintaining quality through digital and other means of
quick expansion of educational opportunities continues to
be challenging if not problematic. Effects of Government
Mandates and Policies on Public Education in Africa, the
Caribbean, and the Middle East is Book IX of the series,
Research on Education in Africa, the Caribbean, and the
Middle East. Chapters document, describe and/or raise
critical issues and/or questions resulting from government
policies, mandates and frameworks intended to make
available public education to an ever-growing populace
while at the same time being mindful of improving quality
of education being availed to an increasingly diverse
populace"--|cProvided by publisher
