essay on Decolonisation and Africanisation in Education. Consider the following
view:
Decolonisation promotes the reconstruction of pre-colonial traditional,
indigenous lifestyles and acknowledges different world outlooks that co-exist with
the Eurocentric worldview.
These ideas can be drawn from the studies and works of many researchers (such
as Read, Ewert, Goduka etc.) who challenge the exclusion of Afro-centric
perspectives in the study and sphere of philosophy of education.
Engage and evaluate the aforementioned view by selecting only ONE of the
following themes, and applying it to:
a) Women and education
b) Gender (LGBTQI+ & marginalised groups) and education
c) Class, culture, and education
d) Social justice education
e) Democracy, human rights, and education
Explore, discuss, and analyse whether contemporary and philosophical debates
around decolonisation and its relationship to the above topics. Lastly, evaluate
the historically trajectory of teacher education in Africa (South Africa) in terms of
what progress has been made towards positioning Afro-centric perspectives more
positively in philosophy of education.
