Africa is always presented through images that shock people A and we are known only for failures and inefficiency. But Africa, for all its problems, has almost unlimited potential. In my experience, MFamMed, as promoted by MEDUNSA and continuing medical education, as promoted by Doctors on Call for Service, are the most appropriate medical teaching systems that could help Africa produce the best total health entrepreneurs for its third millennium.

ver the past several decades, teachers have become the major source of attention worldwide.Occasionally, they have been blamed for students' poor performance, failure, and poor implementation of new reforms (Soske, 1992;Rothstein, 1999).Soske (1992) observes that some educational reform movements have teacher blaming at their core.She views this teacher-blaming syndrome as clearly a women blaming and a feminist issue as more women are in teaching.Claudio Sanchez (May 10, 2010) from a...

ne of the most pressing challenges teacher education faces today is the inability to produce substantial numbers of teachers from racial, ethnic, and language minority groups.Nationally, although the student population is 40% students of color, the number of minority teachers is diminishing.Only 17% of teachers are of color (with student projections of 50% by 2025) (NCES, 2003(NCES, , 2004;; NCTAF, 2003).Policy makers and researchers have called for increased numbers of minority teachers to...

The main argument of the thesis is that the poor have no real choice. The thesis also argues that fee-free public education only provides a...
