Abstract
Primary and Secondary Education in Six Selected African Territories.
Biographical / Historical
This collection is the result of the work of the Oxford Development Records Project relating to education in Africa during the colonial period. From c. 1977 to 1985, the Project set out to record the experiences and preserve the reminiscences of people who had been involved in education, whether as Colonial Education Officers or as missionaries active in the educational field. An aide-mémoire was sent to potential contributors, which they were invited to answer in the form of a memorandum, adding any original papers they were willing to donate. The period mainly covered was from the end of World War Two to independence.
Arrangement
The papers are arranged by territory, then alphabetically by the surname of the contributor.
Immediate Source of Acquisition
