Abstract

[Education should of necessity incorporate a people’s history, culture and worldview. Africa is rich in indigenous knowledge across fields and sectors, which is often disregarded. African students sometimes struggle to grasp concepts and to reconcile their education with their reality. African researchers often struggle to connect their research methods and research questions with their reality. The mainstreaming of indigenous knowledge across all levels of education will change the dynamics of creativity, innovation, research and development, and the general advancement trajectory of Africa.]
