The practice of lifelong learning in Indigenous Africa
In this paper the author suggests that Africa had a systematic, coordinated system of the theory and practice of lifelong learning that was afflicted by colonial rule and subjugation and suffered a severe setback with the introduction of Western education and modernisation. However the remnants that have survived seem to be lasting and self-sustaining. Lifelong learning in Indigenous Africa is described and recommendations for a more relevant and responsive lifelong learning program in Africa are given.
