“I was embarrassed to use my African name” - BBC Africa
Education in Africa is based on post-colonial curriculums whose content taught little and often skewed African history and culture and its place in the world.
We went to the Children in Freedom School in Kenya to find out how their Afrocentric approach differs from the norm, and how the parents and students have embraced it.
Produced, filmed and edited by Njoroge Muigai
