COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVES IN EDUCATION MANAGEMENT: EXPANDED POSTGRADUATE NOTES (M.Sc. & Ph.D).
About the Book
Comparative Perspectives in Education Management is a groundbreaking postgraduate-level textbook that bridges global educational theories with indigenous African philosophies of learning and leadership. Authored by Dr. Ezekiel M.P.C. Onah, a visionary scholar and creator of the Attitude Behavioural Theory (ABT) and the H+3R’s Model of Education, this book integrates the wisdom of Enugu and South-East Nigerian traditions with global best practices in school management.
Each module—spanning educational systems in Canada, the United States, Britain, Australia, France, Russia, and Nigeria—invites readers to critically examine how governance, policy, finance, leadership, and human resource management shape education across nations. It further introduces Dr. Onah’s Trigonometric Pillars of Holistic Child Development (Values, Excellence, and Skill-Talent) and Career Skills Development Information Proforma Interest Inventory (CSDIPII), powerful indigenous frameworks for 21st-century education reform.
With a strong focus on indigenous participation, moral education, and practical entrepreneurship training, the text is designed for M.Sc., Ph.D., and postgraduate diploma students, education administrators, policymakers, and teachers seeking to transform learning environments into centers of integrity, creativity, and community development.
