The Educated African Man

This discussion narrates the development of various educational systems with a focus on colonial education in Africa. Based on the arguments made in this publication, it is evident that the Educated African Man worships the colonizers. This is supported by the prevalent perspective that the colonizer’s lifestyle is more superior to his own. Did you know that the educational system introduced to us by the colonial masters was solemnly meant to produce a workforce that would work in the ever-expanding factories and industries of the colonial masters? We will argue that one would go to school for decades and get educated to the highest level. Without the factories or industries to work, this highly educated individual cannot contribute meaningfully to the development of his society.
