  • Skill acquisition in the imformal sector of an African economy

    Kenneth J KingARTICLEThe Journal of Development Studies1975

    This article explores the acquisition of a wide variety of skills by low income Kenya Africans, outside the scope of government and voluntary agency programmes. Many thousands of such (mostly young) Africans arrange types of unofficial fee‐paying apprenticeships for themselves at the feet of older, often illiterate craftsmen.

    Kenneth King, Kenneth J KingARTICLEComparative Education1974References: 3

    The issue of productive labour in African school systems raises very different questions from the experience of this in either Russia or China [1]. At first sight, such work seems now to be conspicuously absent from the primary and secondary schools of most countries except Tanzania.

Certain crucial events in East Africa—the circumcision crisis, independency in churc…

Oldham, in securing the adoption of a certain style of Negro education in the Southern States of America (one based on the work of the Hampton and Tuskegee Institutes) both by the International Missionary Council and by the Colonial Office Advisory Commit…
