Title: The Roadmap From Colonial To African Centered Education
   
Author: Djeukam Tchameni
   
Abstract:

We are indeed living in an era characterized by the spirit of African Renaissance.

Paradoxically, the rise of globalization has run concurrently with the awakening of nationalistic forces. On the African continent, the inability of neocolonial governments to create national consciousness within the borders micro-states, inherited from colonialism, has left enough room for the old and cherished concept of an African Nation encompassing all continental Africans as well as the sons and daughters of Africa living in the Diaspora.
