Question: South Africa’s education system has been
shaped by a complex history of colonialism and
apartheid, which have influenced the structure, content,

curriculum to make it more inclusive, relevant, and
reflective of indigenous knowledge systems, African
philosophies, and the lived experiences of South Africans.

Africanisation are necessary for transformation in South
African education. Practical Examples of Africanising the
Curriculum Provide concrete examples of how

Discuss how local languages, storytelling, oral traditions,
and African epistemologies can be incorporated into
teaching methods. Implementation Strategies Propose
strategies that schools, universities, and policymakers
can use to decolonise and Africanise curricula. Consider
teacher training, policy reforms, community engagement,
and textbook revisions. Challenges and Criticism Identify
