Certification in African Education is now offered through the Center for African Education and the Program in International Educational Development at Teachers College. It reflects the growing demand within schools and other public agencies for persons knowledgeable about the diverse institutions and historical processes that have shaped the African continent and its educational systems. There is also an unprecedented need for educators and policy makers who understand the fundamental changes in African education stemming from decentralization, democratization, and privatization as well as religious and political movements on the continent. The certificate provides students with a foundation in African studies through courses on cultural and social relations in African communities, demographic changes on the continent, and comparative studies of education in specific African countries. This concentration can be selected for the MA, Ed.M., or Ed.D. Students will be prepared for professional careers in teaching, policy-making, and international development.
