A Political Economy of the African School as a Learning Organization

Author

  • AOK Noah

Abstract

Total enterprise and the marketization of schooling as implied and currently practiced hold no good for the poor African child. The poor African needs to be protected from the consequences and excesses of the free market. The paper concludes that learning organization is a pseudonym for marketization and intellectual pauperization.
