Abstract

The Palgrave Handbook of African Education and Indigenous Knowledge endeavors to address the fundamental elements that make up education across the African continent. These according to the present volume are Indigenous, Islamic or Muslim, and Western education systems, and the book rigorously attempts to tackle and frame each form of education that influences Africa’s multitiered systems of learning. In order to do so it argues that indigenous knowledge as a form of education must be centered in learning on the continent, with the later arrivals Islamic and Western education making up the broader spectrum of schooling that exists.
