Nairalander Challenges African System Of Education, Teaches Science In Pidgin. by musicwriter(m): 4:34pm On Sep 26, 2015
The biggest mistake our forefathers made after colonialism was not creating a curriculum for the education of an African mind devoid of colonial hangovers. This seemingly simple reason is a major reason for our poverty!.

Indeed, Lord Kwame Nkrumah noticed the problem with education in Africa. After observing that colonial missionary schools curriculum was Euro-centric, and that it carefully excluded African religion, culture, and history, he said ‘’under such a system of education the youth of Africa is not prepared to meet any definite situations of the changing community except those of the clerical activities and occupations for foreign commercial and mercantile concerns’’.

And he concluded by saying ‘’any educational program which fails to furnish criteria for the judgment of social, political, economic, and technical progress of the people it purports to serve has completely failed in its purpose, and has become an educational fraud’’.

For the above reason Mr. C. Tsehloane Keto observed that "[b]The world of Africans and descendants of Africans and the world of scholarship about them is still the only one at the end of the Twentieth Century that retains a 'colonial' signature whereby experts and authorities outside African communities control knowledge creation and exceed experts inside those communities. This does not apply to Europe, Asia or the Americas. This has led to an unfortunate predilection among Africans to concede expert knowledge to outsiders. African people have tended in the past to surrender the right to academic self affirmation to others, thereby accepting conclusions of a Eurocentric framework that have assigned a permanent peripheral role to the Africa centered perspective in the world's growing knowledge industry. Indeed, many of the 'authorities' who study and write about the African world and exercise great influence over the outside world's perception of Africa and Africans, the understanding of its value priorities, the vision of its future and the capacity to define its very essence for insiders and outsiders alike, often are not burdened with the knowledge of single African or African derived language[/b]."

Until we Africans eschew what Fela Anikulapokuti called ''follow follow'' and what Bob Marley called ''mental slavery'' we'll remain in this situation of looking up to white people as a standard.

I've researched the problem with education in Africa and I know exactly what the problem is. In order for Africa to develop we must create a model of education that’s grounded in African ideals. A model of education without colonial hangovers. The same model of education the Japanese have used to acquire knowledge to build technological wonders and went to the moon without western influence. I’m talking about a model of education that will work for Africa!.

Enough is enough, I've decided to take action and have started making lessons for the education of African mind, starting from science subjects. My goal is to help Africans conceptualize science.

We must learn to build our own cars, we must learn to build our own aeroplane, we must learn to build our own ship, we must learn to build our own fast train, go to moon. Name them!. Only then shall we be said to be truly independent, and only then shall we earn the respect of the world.

Africa cannot develop without investment in grassroots science.
