Schools developed to serve the "European" sectors ofAfrican economies. British colonial governments regardedthis phenomenon as a political threat. There were "assimilationist"and "adaptationist" educational solutions tothis problem. "Adaptation It seemed to hold greater promiseof political stability yet colonial education was predominantly"assimilationist" at the time of political independence.In this study,colonial educational policies have beencategorised as assimilationist- or Euro-centred- and asadaptionist- or Afro-centred. An attempt has been madeto determine the conditions associated with the adoptionof Euro-centred and Afro-centred policies.Models of Euro-centred and Afro-centred policies havebeen constructed which include political,economic andsocio-political dimensions and which distinguish betweenthe general aims of education, administration, provision andcurriculum policies. Education policies for Africa formulatedby official agencies firstly in Britain 'and then in the Gold Coastand Tanganyika have been analysed by thecriteria of the models.
