Abstract	This study traces educational policy development and implementation in the postcolonial era in eight sub-Saharan African countries. A basic premise is that the education system in any country is a result of interacting forces in the unique historical development of the country. The volume analyzes the forces in terms of their relevance and applicability to the South African situation, especially as far as donor funding is concerned. The countries of the study are Botswana, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Chapters of the book include: (1) "Background to the Study"; (2) "Educational Development in Postcolonial Africa"; (3) "Donor Aid to Africa"; (4) "Policy Options for Educational Development in Africa"; and (5) "Policy Options for Donor Aid." Six tables and 14 figures accompany the text. Two appendices and a 44-item bibliography conclude the text. (EH)
