Researching the Provision of Secondary Education in Zambia

The most significant emerging issue in education is the intense struggle and challenge of providing quality education to all learners in a particular country. This book is a timely and thought-provoking project which focuses on an intervention that emerged in secondary schools in Zambia as a result of lack of enough school places in secondary schools in the country. Based on a research study, the author presents new understandings of education provision in its widest perspective looking at the availability of instructional materials, human resources, school facilities and equipments, learner enrollment, teacher workload, teacher competences, the teaching and learning process, the curriculum, the role of the government, the community and parents and the success and unsuccessful stories of the intervention. Concisely, informative and clearly written this book is essential reading for students, researchers, scholars, teacher educators in colleges and universities and for practising teachers and education providers.
