Education in the process of decolonization in Burkina Faso Burkina Faso is progressing towards the decolonization of education in the country. With the new curriculum reform in preparation, the government of Ibrahim Traore intends to teach the history of the emancipation struggles of African people and countries in the Global South, such as the revolution in Haiti or the Chinese revolution. The reform involves the contents of the subjects of history, geography and civic education. Momoni Zwangarana, the Minister of Secondary Education, understands that the school contents "wean" and "enliven" the Africans and does not recognize their resources and abilities. According to Zwangrana, the education system describes the country as "poor by nature", does not recognize its cultural value and characterizes its ethnic diversity as "a source of conflict and not a strength". "These reforms are necessary to restore people's pride and confidence in their abilities," he added. Sources: The Last Conversation; Popular resistance.
