    Capacity Plunder in the Educational Reform Process in the Regional Africa: The Need for Intercession in Curriculum
    (France: CIEP, 2011) Mushi, Paul S. D.
    Unwittingly and through habit, African countries have recruited curriculum developers from practicing classroom teachers and handed out to them the immense task of curriculum design process.Unfortunately, there is so little questioning about the individual capabilities of such curriculum developers. There is almost no institution including universities in the Africa region which offer systematic training programmes for curriculum developers. Professionals development courses in curriculum design process is just a night mare even when funding is available. In the year 2008/9 for example, TIE spent almost a year searching for training institutions for her local staff including negotiations with a University in Egypt but without success. Establishment of the proposed Centre for Excellence in Curriculum and Training (ACECT) is believed to provide a sustainable solution to the creation of competent personnel in the area of curriculum design process, which forms the heart of education.
