This book presents a critical examination of post-colonial curriculum transformation across seven African nations. This comprehensive analysis interrogates whether educational systems in South Africa, Egypt, Cameroon, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Namibia, and Ghana have successfully decolonized their curricula or remain entrenched in Western epistemological and ontological frameworks despite political independence. Through rigorous investigation of curriculum policies and pedagogical practices, the authors analyze the complex dynamics of educational reform in post-colonial African contexts. The work critically examines the extent to which these education systems have managed to integrate indigenous knowledge systems and local epistemologies into their curricula, or whether they continue to perpetuate Western paradigms of knowledge production and dissemination. In doing so, it offers a theoretically sophisticated yet empirically grounded analysis of the challenges and opportunities in reconstructing African education systems that authentically reflect local cultural contexts while meeting contemporary educational demands.
