Description: "This book examines post-independence, teacher-education reforms in Namibia from the perspectives of different actors in the reform process: Ministry of Education personnel, teacher educators, teachers, school administrators, student teachers, and external consultants. Consistent with the current focus on building internal capacity within Namibia to sustain the reforms and on creating Namibian knowledge about education, sixteen of the book's nineteen chapters are authored by Namibians."--Jacket.
