It is also a valuable resource for courses in mathematics education in the teacher education colleges, and departments of education in the sub-Saharan Africa region. In the increasingly global and technological world mathematics is seen as a significant gatekeeper of opportunities for social and economic advancement and mobility. Hence, countries and development agencies in the broader sub-Saharan Africa region are looking towards increasing access to relevant and high-quality secondary education as a lever towards economic development. Policy makers and other key decision makers in education look towards improvement in mathematics teaching and learning as a key focus in education reform. In the East Africa region also a number of initiatives have been taken at the national level in the respective countries to improve the quality of mathematics education. This book provides an in-depth comparative analysis of the developments and issues in mathematics education in Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda, and advances our understanding of the state of secondary mathematics education in East Africa. 000772009 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed March 16, 2016). 000772009 650_0 $$aMathematics$$xStudy and teaching$$zAfrica, East. 000772009 7001_ $$aHalai, Anjum,$$eeditor. 000772009 7001_ $$aTennant, Geoff$$q(Geoffrey),$$eeditor. 000772009 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aHalai, Anjum$$tMathematics Education in East Africa : Towards Harmonization and Enhancement of Education Quality$$dCham : Springer International Publishing,c2016$$z9783319272573 000772009 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in education. 000772009 852__ $$bebk 000772009 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-27258-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000772009 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:772009$$pGLOBAL_SET 000772009 980__ $$aEBOOK 000772009 980__ $$aBIB 000772009 982__ $$aEbook 000772009 983__ $$aOnline 000772009 994__ $$a92$$bISE
