This dissertation focuses attention on the trends in secondary school education globally, with
the Zambia backdrop providing a platform for a comparative study of the global scenario.
Research results reveal that analysis of education planning and the process of policy
formulation may be hinged on different ideological, economic, technological and social
premises.
Shifts in regimes and ideologies have often left behind paradigm shifts and
discontinuities in the educational sectors of countries. The processes of globalisation and
internal accommodation of national forces have conjoined to impact heavily on
educational policies. Be it in commandist Russia or neo-liberal USA, there. has always been
the felt need to use education planning as a leverage to score multiple points,
including the gaining of national competitive advantage on the frontiers of knowledge and
intelligence.
There is strong evidence in this dissertation to suggest that exhaustive policy analysis is
cardinal to the successful implementation of education policies in Zambia, more
especially in this post-modern age of information sharing / Public Administration and Management / M. Admin. (Public Administration)
