THE BRITISH AND CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT IN WEST AFRICA: A HISTORICAL STUDY – Only recently have African nations begun to make their way towards establishing genuinely autonomous education systems incorporating elements of indigenous culture. The present study examines the historical development of curriculum in British West Africa in its links with the educational activities of the early Christian missionaries and the imposition of British colonial rule. For over 300 years, the curriculum content was essentially European in nature. African interests and cultural practices were largely excluded, as “bookwork” was favored over “handwork”. The colonial curriculum also helped introduce a new social order to West Africa, leading to the rise of new local elites reading, writing, and speaking foreign European languages. This study explores how the idea of a “civilized” person, promoted through the colonial school curriculum, developed new local elites with different sets of values and expectations that often made them strangers in their own societies. It also describes the connection between this curriculum and the repeated failure of education-reform efforts. 相似文献

Multicultural education has transformed higher education both in terms of research and in terms of student experiences. Given
the complexity of our institutions, the overall effects of these transformations are mixed. Building on the successes and
strengths of multicultural education as it is currently incorporated in institutions and programs will involve better understanding
how it is perceived, positively and negatively, by those who are experiencing it first hand. In this article we seek to contribute
to this reflection through a discussion of a survey of students’ perceptions of multiculturalism in a large first-year program
in a research university.
