Reviews
“Selina Mushi examines in detail the trend of formal education on the global stage… she sets the stage by calling attention to the direction of formal education globally… this book provides some much needed information on the high quality education and how it has been impacted by the ‘for profit’ motive… what is new is to look at the perspective of an author with roots in Africa. This African perspective provides a corrective lens to the many contributions from the West.”
