        There’s a little bit of history in this paper – about math education specifically, and education in Sierra Leone generally – since independence in 1961.

            I agree that the author should have been more specific in detailing the problems. He alludes to what you’re talking about throughout the piece, but doesn’t give any details. I also think the solutions are lacking as well. I’m of the opinion (no surprise) that math educators should be more explicitly African-centered in the curriculum: the math problems, the style of teaching, the languages they use, even the subject matter. The author of this piece doesn’t speak to that at all.
