ABSTRACT
This paper is premised on a deep conviction that the educational systems of Developing Countries are not responding fast enough to the rapid changes of an increasingly Globalised and technology-driven World Economy. Most developing counties in Africa are perhaps yet to appreciate the need for widespread urgent changes and innovations in their educational systems in response to rapid changes of Globalisation.
Regrettably, most developing countries in Africa have embarked on various programmes of reforms in sectors outside their educational system. Such programmes of reforms should ideally be preceded by reforms in the school systems that service other sectors. This paper intends to start the process of filling this gap. Hence the presentation of proposals on how to plan, programme and effectively strategise for widespread changes and innovations in the educational systems of Developing Countries in Africa in order not to be left behind by a world that is always on the move. This paper presents exploratory blueprint on how developing countries could plan, programme and strategise for needed changes in their educational systems in responses to changing needs of a Globalised technology-driven World Economy.
Widespread Education reforms are needed urgently in Africa. Africa may be left behind permanently by the rest of the world. Africa should plan, programme and strategise to prevent this avoidable impending disaster. This seems to be the goal of this study.
