ACTIVITY 1: DECOLONISATION (EDUCATION) (2)
An active process to change the Western-dominated philosophy and approach to education
into a balanced approach where indigenous knowledge and pedagogies are acknowledged
and genuinely incorporated into the formal educational system. Multiple perspectives are
included to make education relevant and practical to address needs and challenges within
specific contexts. (Owuor, 2007)
Principles: Mkabela – An African approach to education Own
understanding of the concept:
Decolonisation in education means changing the school system so
that it includes African knowledge and teaching methods, not just
Western ideas. This makes learning more fair and useful for
different communities.
