Glossary of Key Terms in Philosophy of Education
1. Decolonisation
Definition: Decolonisation in education refers to the process of dismantling the
structures, systems, and epistemologies imposed by colonial powers and replacing them
with indigenous knowledge systems and perspectives. It involves challenging the
dominance of Western paradigms and fostering a curriculum that reflects the diverse

Historical Context and Philosophical Origins: The concept stems from postcolonial

Oppressed also contributes, emphasizing liberation through critical consciousness.
Evolution and Contemporary Relevance: Initially focused on political independence,
decolonisation has expanded to encompass cultural, epistemological, and pedagogical
dimensions. In South Africa, it's central to debates about curriculum transformation,
