Pillar 4 of 7 · DASCA
Decolonial & Systemic Curricula Advocacy
To challenge educational structures and curricula that are socially irrelevant and misaligned with African needs because of persistent colonial influence.
This pillar mandates APEA to
- Drive deep structural reform by challenging inequitable funding models and colonial curriculum rankings.
- Research the legal and ethical aspects of AI in education policy, and produce evidence-based guidelines for national adoption.
- Advocate for and draft locally relevant, decolonised curriculum frameworks for governments, educational bodies and regional organisations.
- Research and advocate for stronger national intellectual property policy across the continent, so educational research can be commercialised.
