British and Portuguese Colonialism in Central African EducationColonialism, the Christian Church and colonial education had a functional relationship with economic exploitation, political suppression and racism. The ruling white class was in the majority composed of a poor class of whites and degredados who designed an inferior African educational system and kept Africans undereducated, unskilled and underemployed. The period of colonialism can be characterized as having housed a policy of malicious benign neglect in the development of education and race relations. The rise of African nationalism and the liberation movements in the 1960's spelt the lie of the Portuguese assimilationism and British paternalism and enhanced the demise of colonialism and the achievement of national independence status with the responsibility to restructure a national nonracial education system. |
