Abstract

This paper is faced with innumerable questions as regards facets of African crisis of development knowing full well that no nation develops beyond her quality of her educational system. Historically, if Africa must still develop beyond the contemporary obstructive shackles and glaring chains of the Western World as well as the existing momentous vicious circle of underdevelopment, she needs her own Philosophy of Education that is pertinent to her culture, circumscriptive of her world-view and very typical of her age-long academic quagmire as well as her educational problematiques. This paper applying method of observation and critical analysis finds out that African development rests more on well defined mapped-out curriculums and therefore recommends a functional African Philosophy of Education for African emancipation and pursuance of African developmental oriented goals thereby rejig African for a better world.
