Abstract :The educational system in Africa has been quite conflicting. This is because, we have been juggling between the English system of education and the French system which totally ignores the indigenous educational system that was in existence before colonialism. This article further examines how European system of Education ignores African indigenous heritage knowledge by citing practical examples on ancient African orthographies and mathematics. Thus, the article come up with that unless Africa designs its own curriculum for education system by customizing with African traditions and values ‘Epistemicide’ will continue to plague African generations.
Keywords : Indigenous knowledge, synergy, colonialism, pedagogy, afrocentrism
