Education and Democracy in Senegal
ISBN: 9780230622333 / Angielski / Twarda / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The results indicate that NFE stimulates community and political participation and appears to have a stronger effect on participation than formal education. Both NFE and formal education increase the likelihood that people will embrace democratic, tolerant attitudes. Thus, NFE could be a potent force in the promotion of...
