Phénomène universel, la violence en milieu scolaire n'épargne pas l'Afrique et y demeure encore très peu documentée. Par ailleurs, rares sont les pays d'Afrique subsaharienne qui n'ont pas connu de conflits armés, souvent d'envergure régionale. Leurs effets immédiats : la destruction - partielle ou totale - des systèmes éducatifs et la mobilisation de jeunes devenus enfants-soldats entravent l'Éducation Pour Tous (EPT). Cet ouvrage interroge la dynamique éducative de sociétés africaines dans trois contextes. En situation de paix : quelles formes de violences l'Éducation et l'école sécrètent-elles en temps de paix ? Quels en sont les sources et les soubassements ? Peuvent-elles être enrayées, sinon réduites ? Pendant les conflits : quelles sont les voies de la " politisation " de l'éducation ? Quelles sont les conséquences immédiates et à long terme des conflits sur l'éducation ? L'offre de service éducatif répond-elle à la spécificité des besoins des personnes déplacées, rapatriées ou réfugiées ? Enfin, après les conflits, l'éducation peut-elle participer à la reconstruction d'un pays et à la pacification des esprits ? Comment fonder les programmes d'éducation à la paix ? Les contributions rassemblées, études de cas (Côte d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Niger, Zimbabwe, Cameroun, Congo et République Démocratique du Congo) et recherches prospectives, invitent à réfléchir aux interrelations, possibles ou avérées, entre l'éducation, les violences, les conflits et les perspectives de paix. En définitive, l'ouvrage tente de cerner les dynamiques sociales et politiques qui - avant, pendant et après les conflits - corroborent aux fragiles devenirs de l'éducation en Afrique.

This work provides a healthy, comprehensive counterpoint to the ethnocentrism engrained in the widespread belief that scientific knowledge about education is typically Western. Stressing that the Western 'minority' perspective cannot hold true for the 'majority' of the world population situated outside Europe and North America, this edited volume explores traditional educational theories and practices developed in the majority world to study how they can improve modern schooling globally. Educational Theories and Practices from the Majority World probes the elements of culturally appropriate, quality schooling for various indigenous people in India, the Pacific and the Americas. One of the sections dwells on how to synergise the systems used in modern schools with the ones used in non-Western formal schools linked to religious institutions, such as Koranic, Sanskrit, Buddhist and Vodoo schools. Another section delves into educational policy issues in the context of globalization. This compilation brings together difficult-to-access theories and research by contributors from Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America. It is an invaluable resource for policy makers in Education and for students, researchers and academicians studying Education and Anthropology.
