From a South African perspective, "Africanising/Decolonising the curriculum" means
integrating indigenous knowledge systems, cultural values, and local languages into
the educational framework. This shift moves away from Eurocentric models to
embrace African perspectives, histories, and ways of knowing. Practical examples
include using African languages for instruction, teaching local history and literature
by African authors, and including indigenous science and technology in the
curriculum. For example, mathematics lessons could feature traditional African
mathematical concepts, and biology classes could highlight indigenous agricultural
practices. Additionally, organizing field trips to local heritage sites and inviting
community elders to share oral histories can make education more relevant and
inclusive of South African contexts.
