1st 1 Introduction:
Article 10 of the Declaration on the responsibility of the present generation towards future generations is included, stating that “the present generation the conditions for equitable, sustainable and universal socio-economic development of future generations … Education is to ensure an important tool … ”
There is a new perspective on the world of education through the lens of marketing. The proof is the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS). It was intended that the international markets for the deregulation of services, including education. Conclusion: Education is a commodity that can be traded, in other words, it is “Educational services market. To operate in this market, we need principles and theories of Marketing Education Service.]” The idea behind these principles is to to create an open global market in services such as education, can be traded … GATS deals with the educational services of all countries whose education systems are to be provided, education or those who have commercial purposes not only by the public sector. ”
In the meantime, published by the World Bank’s World Development Report 2004 – Making Work Services for the poor people. “It provides a practical framework for the production of services of ‘human development effort” to deliver to help poor people. The report included services direct connection with human development – education, health, water supply, sanitation and electricity.
1st 2 Main objective of the paper:
In view of the above-mentioned international recipes, learned the paper attempted to the rationality of the application of the principles of marketing services and the lessons of World Development Report 2004 on Education Marketing Service will explore.
1st 3 Rationality of the study:
This type of research can be to understand the debate or the marketing of education services, “Lead is equivalent to the” commercialization of education services.
2nd 1 Marketing Education Service [MES]
Marketing of training services related [to transactions either] for-profit motive or service, aligned to the flow of goods and services, educational institutions of manufacturers, suppliers and developers of consumer goods and services [to the needs of the parties i. e. makers, suppliers and customers as a psychological] and economic security, social esteem and self-need.
2. 2 Current Failure of MES:
Current education of the poor are not poor people, because: –
[1] derive a large part of the education budget to non-poor,
[2] Failure to achieve the proportion of the budget, targeted at the poor, to the front-Service
[3] barriers to services, the prevalence of public corruption and undue political influence in the areas of education,
[4], a lower demand for the level of education to cultural factors.
Thus, education, because more than dominance of the financial function and importance within the marketing function.
2nd 3 rationality down the principles of marketing service in MES:
The report calls for “putting poor people at the center of the service. The thinking is similar to the customer marketing Srvices. Society in general, choose the long way because there is evidence of market failure. The traditional societies feel short distance [i e. consumer power over providers] is considered insufficient for the equity dimension. But it is a testament to the “government failures” are connected with the long way, and, “so they can serve, in some cases that can actually leave the market solution” beter off poor people. This is necessary to compensate for the problems with the long process of accountability in the short way connected.
2. 4 Dimensions Of MES:
Weight in relation to the Marketing Education Service There are two types:
[A] marketing functions in terms of educational goods: – These functions such as [1] Marketing Research and [2] to customers with an appropriate market mix to achieve he development, pricing, promotion and distribution of educational products or educational product.
[B] marketing tasks related to educational services: – These functions such as [1] Marketing Research and [2] to customers with an appropriate market mix to achieve ie [A] The development of the product, [b] Price],] [c] promotion [d Distributing, [e] Orientation in-house people, [f] processing [G] If physical evidence, [h, and the next policy and [i] Ensuring Peoples participation in education service .
Interestingly, the report is complete silence on the subject of “marketing functions relating to education seems to goods”.
2. 5 Relationships, Triangle And Types In MES:
The report for the three most important relationships in MES: [a] between the poor and the provider, [b called] between poor people and politicians, and [c] between policy makers and providers. There are, Education Service Marketing Triangle. Policy makers, service providers and customers / poor people really work together MES] [from diagram. But they require three different types of marketing -
[A] Internal marketing between policy makers and service providers promise possible.
make [B] External Marketing between policy makers and clients / poor people – promises.
keep [C] Interactive Marketing or Marketing in real time between suppliers and customers – promises made. A perfect fit in the three different types of marketing.
Education in Africa has a history of many centuries. Certainly, the achievements of the ancient civilizations of Egypt and Ethiopia are known. Then in the early first millennium of the Christian era, the Muslims and other peoples on the northern edge of Africa outstanding contributions to the world of education and culture. And during the last 1000 years of the Sahara and Sub-Saharan countries have different centers of learning, Timbuktu, Agadez, Gao, Katsina and Borno, where books were written in the Arabic language in high demand.
More than 800 years in Timbuktu, Mali, with colleges. Katsina in northern Nigeria, is a center of learning since the sixteenth century. It was there that was seen around 200 years ago, Muhammad ibn Muhammad as an expert in numerology.
The above towns have been shaped by the Islamic culture, and mosques were the centers of learning. However, the cost of learning under the direction of Mallams very high and so few people could afford. The educated minority had great influence and key managers, lawyers and civil servants. But the majority remained illiterate.
In the non-Muslim, sub-Saharan cultures was largely illiterate, the education, rather than through oral teaching reading. Education systems differ from tribe to tribe, and there were various degrees and levels of training, depending on the social and cultural development of a specific tribe. The training covers a fairly wide range, with specialized instruction in various age groups. Any particular types of educational preparation had the role of individuals in society. A look at the system of education under the pre-colonial Yorubas in Nigeria illustrates this.
The Yoruba system
Among the Yoruba, had obedience training, etiquette, speech and counting early in the life of the child and the family circle has been given. Children quickly learned to express themselves in their own language. Gradually, they dominated the proverbs, poems and folklore of the community or the tribe. In this way, they learned the history and the moral and philosophical attitude of their people. They had a variety of greetings, the recognition of the level of service and social learning proper etiquette for this. Religious education included training in rituals, sacred festivals and the role of soothsayer.
At an early age, children were taught to 20 on their fingers and toes, and simple addition and subtraction are stones. As she advances in knowledge, they were taught, weights and measures, the use of cowrie shells (which served as money) and the art of negotiation.
Special training for boys focused on agricultural, metal and wood working, hunting and the use of herbs and drugs in medicine. Skills were passed from father to son. Natural inclination and skills were also considered, and children were encouraged to develop their skills. Therefore, many were taught by craftsmen outside of the family clan.
Girls were given training in weaving and dyeing cloth. She learned pottery, weaving mats and baskets and cosmetics production for use in cosmetics and hairdressing. They were taught the art of cooking, the brewing and extraction of oil from the seeds of the palm nuts. So they prepared themselves for their roles as women in the family and community.
The tribes, which had a rural, pastoral and cultural Bush is more focused on agriculture, livestock and hunting or fishing. Some education systems, limited progress in new areas of knowledge by maintaining a closed society. Membership is usually to limit by a certain ethnic origin or religious belief. This fact has contributed to a stagnation of knowledge. Nevertheless, the education that was provided plenty of serving the needs of society.
The colonial era
As part of the missionary explorer David Livingstone, started its activities of European missionaries in Africa to increase in the second half of the nineteenth century. Mission began in schools, in cities and villages, and right into the bush, where the students lived in a simple loincloth, or were completely naked.
These schools were founded on sectarian lines, with Catholics who have their own schools and Protestant religions them. This tendency towards religious segment of the population, and whole regions came when the province will be considered with a particular religion. Components in social development levels between the educated and illiterate segments of each community, and it was affecting a gradual erosion of the family. Other differences result from the traditional patterns of education have been uprooted and were not replaced by a uniform standard.
Nevertheless, they started in the direction of expanding the horizons of knowledge in Africa. Because more people read, write and produce knowledge of the world, the book was available, even to the remotest tribes. The literary history of the non-Muslim, began to revive sub-Saharan Africa.
Although men showed aptitude in learning, there was to overcome obstacles. The missionaries were usually at the local languages. Then they had the children learn in their own European languages, the books were available. Some have a good job in formulating alphabet systems and the development of dictionaries, as many local languages in written form. This is the basis for the translation of the Bible in many African languages.
In some areas the barrier is the custom of girls block caused by institutional education. If more than 40 years, attended one of the emirs in the north of England, Nigeria, he was impressed at the sight of a large girls’ school. He wanted a similar provision for the girl of his people. As the custom was to keep women from public life, he realized that this would be opposed. So he told his board that he opened a school in his palace to the girls in his house to train. Within a year the school had 30 students, and many of the prominent citizens petitions were presented to the Emir to visit their children. A year later, under the pretext that he could not tolerate, turning the sound of a school in his palace, he the students, staff and equipment in the open city and moved into a house next to the boys at school. “(African Challenge, p. 63) now every school in this part of the country is coeducational.
Since children were part of the workforce in any business family, there was reluctance to see them lose in the schools. But gradually, as people recognize the value of the printed page and the benefits of reading and writing, more children attend the school. It was the task of the schools that have the most outstanding educators and many leaders across Africa, their first training session.
The colonial governments, and the subsequent governments of individual sovereign independent state promoted the establishment of the mission of schools, financial and administrative support. Provisions were made for a more uniform system of training, and additional public and secondary schools and universities were founded.
New Education Policy
ensure Since 1970, in the interests of a uniform quality of education further, the Nigerian government has taken control of the private schools, including the mission schools. This led to the problem of proper moral education in a completely secular school system. Therefore, the authorities have encouraged parents and teachers for moral leadership. They also serve the Muslim and indigenous traditional systems of training to coordinate with modern methods. It is hoped that this is the rising tide of unrest, immorality and drug use among young people have to stop.
In 1976, the Universal Primary Education Scheme (UPE) was introduced, to provide free education for the whole of Nigeria. This gives children the opportunity to free primary education for six years as a junior secondary and secondary schools, and received three years. More schools are therefore granted, and to immediately increase their plans, the number of universities to 13.
Adult education
Because t
he majority of the adult population are illiterate, to give more attention to the various governments on adult learning. In Nigeria, where the illiteracy rate is 20 percent of a population of € 70,000,000, the government centers for adult education in most villages and towns. Many men and women to learn them the opportunity to read and write to use.
Too much progress in literacy for adults who work in the Netherlands Halls of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Through these classes, 1962-1976, Nigeria has only 15 156 people learn to read and write. Many of them were elderly people and thought they had to learn not the ability. It was mostly people from rural farmers, hunters, fishermen, housewives. Their commitment to biblical knowledge and are capable of biblical teaching arouses their desire to be on learning. Now they can read and write, and can in teaching God’s Word to help others in their own language and often also in English.
For example, Ezekiel Ovbiagele under the traditional system of training has been trained, but not learn to read and write. After he received verbal instructions from the biblical Jehovah’s Witnesses and was baptized in 1940, he saw the value of learning to read. He enrolled in the literacy courses and soon was reading the Bible to others. With further training in 1953 he qualified to serve as a traveling overseer, many municipalities are responsible for the training of the assigned area. Many others have similar progress.
When Jackson visited Iheanacho first meeting of Jehovah’s Witnesses, he was well read alone in Efik, his mother tongue. He saw a need to learn to read in English but also because the meetings were held in that language. With the support of literacy class of the community, he achieved this and went to learn in other languages. He is now able to read and write seven languages!
The literacy rate among the Jehovah’s Witnesses is better than 77 percent. Most of the remaining 23 percent are attending literacy classes to read, either at their Kingdom Halls or government centers, and so are in various stages of learning and writing. They appreciate this program, which took more and more people can be achieved.
Determined Education
The value and necessity of education can not be denied. An editorial in the Daily Times of 29th December 1976, spoke of education as “the biggest investment … … The rapid development of economic, political, sociological and human resources.” But not just education, but targeted education is essential. Modern methods are more materialistic goals, rather than productive friendships. For many young people is the goal of education is to provide a certification that an appeal has great prestige and financial reward to obtain warranty. Parents should be evaluated in young people with care to ensure their training guide. The target must be real skills and intellectual capacities, in order to ensure the productivity of their adult careers.
However, it should be noted that the period of non-formal education is all that will begin the process of education. Parents can use the nursery and out-of-school hours morally instruct their children and other means of personal development to build along healthy lines. Much good can use the Bible in the imprint of decency, honesty and loyalty are achieved for children.
TerminologyThe federal law for special education of people with Disabilities Education Act, or referred to an idea. It is codified in Title 20, United States Code beginning of 1400th, § It was originally passed in 1975. A number of important reauthorization instead. The two youngest were in 1997 and in December 2004. In the December 2004 changes came into force, largely on 01/07/2005. The changes in the 2004 law are manifold, but perhaps not revolutionary. In the spring of 2002 President Bush signed the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), to insure quality education and a high degree of responsibility should. Many of the provisions of NCLB had an uncertain impact on the idea, 1997. Therefore tried the idea in 2004 to clarify the impact of NCLB. The IDEA speaks in terms of a for Education Authority (SEA) and a local education authority (LEA). In Connecticut, the sea is the State Department of Education. The LEA is usually the local education authority as a district or the board to be known. In this context, the Board refers to the administration of the district, not the actual Board of Education and elected members. State and federal special education law in 1967 LawConnecticut passed. The federal government education of disabled children’s first law passed in 1975. Therefore, the decision before the Federal Connecticut. The federal law does not pre-empt the field. Rather, the federal courts to enforce both the federal and state legislation. “Relevant state law, entitled” A law that does not put put in conflict with Federal contractual requirements, both substantive and procedural, of the law, and includes procedural safeguards stricter than the necessary procedures in the Federal Gazette. Burlington v. Department of Education, 736 F. 2d 773 (first Cir. 1984), aff’d 471 359 U.S. (1985). For the most part have converged Connecticut and federal requirements. But most of the procedures for admission and a fair trial from Connecticut law, as the nomenclature. In Connecticut, there is a Planning and Placement Team (PPT) meeting. In New York, speaks of a Committee on Special Education (CSE) meeting. The federal law is called an Individual Education Plan Team (IEP team) meeting. Connecticut State Department of Education ApproachThe (SDE) is a hands-off approach to local school authorities. This is similar to New York where the State Department closely regulates most aspects of special education. Connecticut SDE recommends local school boards on issues raised in them. In fact, SDE is also advice to parents. The government approved private special schools, but the agreement was largely a matter of seeing if the right boxes are checked, rather than on the quality of education. The state, under federal law receives and processes complaints, but appears to be only interested in procedural requirements to avoid comment on the merits of the claim. And the state that is a fair hearing and mediation systems. All this is done by a small group of people in Hartford. The SDE is also special Education Resource Center (SERC), which serves as an information clearinghouse, a library and a training center. As a general rule, does the State Department of Education as a consultant than as a regulator. Special Education in the Universe was ConnecticutFor the school year 2007-2008, it 68 989 children in Connecticut who were identified as eligible for special education services. This figure represents a decline of 5,000 in the five years before. Special education students represent about 12% of the total population of 574 287 students. Districts in percentages vary greatly designated as eligible for special education, with some districts in the vicinity of 5% and others 18%. Under a disability, with the largest group, 32% of the population, special education, consisting of students with learning disabilities (LD). Five years ago, to teach students with disabilities make up 38% of the population is of special education. The next largest group with 21% of the population, special education, including students with speech or language problems. Other health impairment (OHI) account for 17%, serious emotional disturbance (SED) 8 5% and an intellectual disability (ID) are 4%. About 6 4% of special education students in Connecticut are characterized autism. The racial differences are substantial. The following graph shows, for the period 2007-2008, the proportion of each racial / ethnic groups, a particular denomination special education.
INTRODUCTION:
Some European scientists have doubts about the authenticity of traditional African education. They claim that before the arrival of Europeans in Africa, there was no education in Africa, the culture is the most important basic principle of traditional African education is often portrayed as primitive and not in a position to provide a concrete framework of theories and philosophy of the can a reasonable instructions of the educational practice.
It is a calculated move by the modern education, which will probably lead to a virtual extinction of the indigenous education in Africa. This threat is convinced of a large scale, especially if our youth are not a value in the African culture and education, to be seen. Already in 1970, a survey showed Study of Kenyan and Tanzanian students that only a small percentage of the value attached to education and African culture. You see absolutely no need for the preservation of traditions and customs. (Prewitt, K, 1977).
These results suggest that many people will remain short-sighted about the characteristics and impact of African traditional education to modern civilization. It may even be regarded as a reliable means of material progress and development in Africa and other continents. It is no wonder, all technical and medical discoveries in Africa raises a lot of international debate and the final release, if not patented by Westerners.
In the voice of Gabriel Kingsley Osei, a prominent professor of the history of this state has to change. The dark times, should the exiled African education and culture in ignorance and superstition will now receive more light on the authenticity of traditional African education. It needs to recognize adequately lit for people of indigenous African education as one of the most effective and potential means of solving problems in Africa. (Osei, 1968).
It is the intention of the paper is the characteristics of traditional African education, which makes it an authentic educational system and show you how to reveal to the world civilization, education has had, and its potential contribution to the development of Africa and the rest of the definition world . Logical representation and revelations in this paper the reader of the need for renewal and adaptation of them all, which is valid for the 21 Century in the indigenous African education should be convinced. The following questions are addressed in this document.

(Shiundu, S J., Omulando, S. J 1992; Fasokun, J. et al, 2005).
The objectives of the African traditional education
What were the objectives of the African traditional education?
