| Abstract (English): | Publications on the history of (formal) education in Africa are mostly based on reports issued from (mostly European) actors of the missionary and colonial education systems which were erected in the various colonies. In contrast, the article focuses early 19th century educational initiatives coming from Africans. Two personalities who were influential in West Africa are presented and their educational philosophies characterized: James African Beale Horton (1835-1883) called for a modernization-oriented education policy; whereas Edward Wilmot Blyden followed a pan-African culturalist philosophy. Both of them, however, stressed the need for academic institutions. |
