The Adaptation Concept in British Colonial Education.
Bude, Udo
Comparative Education, v19 n3 p341-55 1983
The history of British colonial educational policies, particularly the adaptation concept in Black Africa, is discussed. "Adaptation" refers to an educational scheme, supposedly adapted to the needs of Black people, completely oriented toward family and community life, and based on recommendations by the 1920-21 and 1924 Phelps-Stokes Commission reports.
