Opis

About this book This book documents 13 Eritrean education biographies of leading members of the Ministry of Edu-cation in Eritrea. They actively have participated in freeing the country located in the eastern part of the African continent and have simultaneously built up the educational system under most difficult circumstances. A consistently notable contingency was found in all biographic self-reflections, which had decisively influenced the authors and actors curriculums: The three decenniums long fight for Eri-trea's indepen-dence, the formation of an educational system, and simultaneously the active design of their own education biography. A biography is always the result of individual perception and acts of interpretation. In that respect, it is the told story of life. The concept of biography places the individuality and subjectivity of the addressee's pedagogic actions into the focus point. These educational biographies are exemplarily for Eritrea's "Nation Building Process.""
