An Historical Survey of the Development of

Education in Africa

INTRODUCTION.

Africa has had a long and impressive history, hairing compiled

a long listing of accomplishments and contributions to human history.

In Africa, as in other: parts of.the world,

most people have traditionally acquired tEeir skills, knowledge and

attitudes from institutions other than formal schools. .Education for

life was part of the community life of the tribe in which the young

generation was prepared for its role in society, 'through organized

patterns and. systematic instruction.

Western education was introduced on the African continent as a

. part of the missionary enterprise. This period began around 1450.

Missionaries maintained a strategic role in education until the end of

the 19th century.

GOAL.

The student will become familiar With the historical development

of education in Africa South of the Sahara; and the introduction of

western education.

INTRODUCTION.

After World War I the League of Nations engendered great

international interest in the problems of Colonial education, thus

forcing the European countries in question to review their educational

activities. Pressure on missions to provide.edudation was becoming

greater. Rumblings aboUtthe disinterested attitude of the European

governments, in African education were heard in Africa, Europe

and America. The-question of the obligation Of the government to

take responsibility for edticatioR was being .discussed. Confusion

as to the aims ofd African education was'apparent.

An appeal was made by the Foreign Missions Board of North. .

America to the Phelps Stokes Fund, (the body in America which planned

and carried out educational activities for AMerican blacks). A

commission was named composed of American, British and African educa-

tors who visited the educational institutions of West Africa. Their

repoFt confirmed the criticisms of the missionaries aie!' government

officers regarding the curricula organisation and administration of

African schools. -

In England in 1923, the British Colonial Office appointed an

Advisory Committee, on Native Education in Briti'sh' Tropical African

Dependencies. The function of this Committee was to advise the Secre-

tary of State for the Colonies on the development ot education in

Africa.

The Committee published its recommendations in 1925 in a memo7

iandum entitled: "Education Policy in British Tropical Africa.'

INTRODUCTION.

There was no uniform edutational policy in the French Africah

territories, prior to 1903, when a general plan of education was drawn

Educational policy aimed at establishing French culture in Africa.

The school system was modelled)in content and method after

Metropolitan France. There was little attemnt to adapt methods or-

curriculum to the needP or conditions of the territories.

One of the clearest statements of French educational policy in

Africa is found in a document entitled, "The Organization of Public4

Education in French Equatorial Africa," issued in 1925 by the Governor

General,

In this module, we will review and critique the Conferences,

and legislation which had a direct relationship tO'educaiional develop-

BelgiapiEducational Policies and PSactices in Cotintries'as'the.

Republic of Zaire, Rwanda.and Burundi

INTRODUCTION.

Official Belgian recognition of education began in'190, when

Leopole II signed a concordat with the Vatican. Under the terms of the.

Concordat, Catholic schools were granted a privileged position and

received government subsidies for providing educational services.

Protestant missions were permitted to operate but received no financial

assistance from the government until 1948.

The basic 'characteristics of Belgian policy were its strong

utilitarian bias and its eRphasis upon primary education\and attempts

were made to adapt the education to the African milieu.

Like Britain and France, Belgium reviewed its educational policy

in Africa after World War I, and issued` an official report on new policy

directions entitled "The Establishment of Subsidized Private Education

for Natives." The report emphasized that the Belgian system of educa-

tion could not be transferred to the Congo and that a new school system

'would have to be devised.

GOALS.

1. , The student will develop an understanding of the educational

climate in the Belgian African countries under study, during late

19th and early 20th century.

2. The student will become familiar'withrreviewpanels, conferences

Portuguese Educational Policies and Practices in East and West

African'Cbuntries as Mozambique, Angola, Guinea-Bissau,

Cape Verde, Sao Tome

The Portuguese educational policy in the African territories

has been part of a wider policy of integrating the territories into

metropolitan Portugal. Schools have been utilized as a vehicle for

introducing Africans to the Portuguese langUage, culture and Catholic

religion. The aim of the educational, system has not been to train

Africans for self governthent, but to become nationals of Portugal.

The first specific government provision for education in the

overseas provinces was authorized by dedfees of 1845 and 1869.

After 500 years of Portuguese African rule,_ with the policy of

assimilation, the literacy rate in the Portuguese territories is ex-

tremely, low. Portugal'is finally being forced out of Africa. Guinea-

Bissau and Mozambique became independent in 1974. Angola, the larger

and richer colony, in natural resources, is slated for independence on

No7iember 11, 1975.

MODULE VII,

The Contemporary Educational Thrust in Modern

and Independent Africa

INTRODUCTION.

Independent African states today, have embarked on education and

development plans calculated to increase their standards of living.

These plans aim At increasing productivity in agriculture, forestry

products, animal husbandry, minerals, establishing secondary as well

as heavy industry, and at increasing the volume of trade.

The critical problem of Africa's economic development lies

in the training of sufficient numbers of people who possess the

specialized skills and competencies necessary'for building and opera-

ting a modern nation.

Since the Conference of African States, held in Addis Ababa,

Ethiopia,in May, 1961, the educational philosophy of contemporary

Africa is that education must be geare4 to manpower needs and nation

building. To quote Dr. K. A. Busia, an African educator from Ghana

in jis book, Purposeful Education For Africa:

"It is apparent that what Africa'is seeking is A philosophy ofeducation that has a total view of man and society; one that isrooted in the past, but,is also attuned to the revolution ofour times, taking account of the transformations now in processand the new perspectives stretching before us. Education-must pass on the heritage of the past, cope with the present,and prepare for the future."

GOALS. -

1. The student will gain an understanding of the new philosophies

of education inindependent African nations.

2. The student will recognize the sifnificance,of educatioh to all

_aspects of national development.

3. The student will become familiar with alternative modes of

education and educational innovations which are being attempted in

, independent African countries under study.
