Document Summary
The federation era was the most progressive in terms of the education of the african during the entire colonial era in rhodesia. After the ww2 there was a growing concern among some british statesman regarding the relations between racial groups in central africa. They committed themselves to building a multi-racial commonwealth based on equal partnerships of different peoples concerned. This they believed would bring people together into one nation irrespective of colour or race. The federation of rhodesia (northern and southern) and nyasaland was established in 1953 as an experiment of multi-racial partnerships and cooperation. The federation era shows how the economic policy influenced change and development of a specific educational philosophy for africans. It was characterised by a more liberal approach towards african education than previous eras however representatives of the two northern territories were suspicious of attempts to bolster the power of the whites.
