Abstract

It is widely acknowledged that African education was subject to change since the inception of colonial rule in Africa. This system, though presented the core of communal life in Africa, became a sort of the past. A much Westernized system of education was introduced as many believed African traditional education to underdevelop Africans and enforce their backwardness. In fact, colonial rule did not invest in the development of this system, but recklessly, placed all the means for its destruction and erosion. Within this time of great upheaval for Africa, Edward Wilmot Blyden and Kwame Nkrumah championed the cause of African education and stood behind all Africans to recognize its vitality for their development and progress. This article examines Edward Wilmot Blyden and Kwame Nkrumah’s educational philosophy, pointing out the similarities and the major themes shared by the two leaders regards African education. The examination indicates that Blyden’s discernment had much impact on giving shape and substance to Kwame Nkrumah’s educational philosophy and thus creating continuity in black political protest which extended over centuries of time.
