Education and Democracy in Senegal

"This book examines the role of nonformal education (NFE) in African languages in promoting democracy in Senegal.

The results indicate that NFE stimulates community and political participation. NFE appears to have a stronger effect on participation than formal education.

Thus, NFE could be a potent force in the promotion of civic orientations in the emerging democracies"--
