Abstract | This presentation addresses the function of education and, in particular, teacher education. Focusing upon the institutions of higher education in Nigeria, questions are raised on the role of the college or university in producing educated persons. It is pointed out that schools of higher education have a responsibility to be aware that educational curricula developed for oppressed peoples by the oppressor are not conducive to enhancing independence and self-actualization. A call is issued for developing the ability to think creatively and to judge critically. A sense of autonomy is emphasized as being necessary for developing responsible awareness of community and liberty. (JD) |
