KWAME NKRUMAH'S PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION

This text explores his African philosophy of education, the first area of his philosophical pentateuch. His entire policy of Education For All in Ghana (1951-1966) is rooted in this philosophy, which Nkrumah was careful to summarize in his two articles published in 1941 and 1943, as well as in his speech at the first Africanist Congress in Accra and in Consciencism. This same philosophy underlies his critique of colonial education and his Pan-African education project in Africa Must Unite.
