This book, the first of two volumes, focuses on the conceptualization of Indigenous Knowledge and Curriculum, Ethiopian/African Philosophy and the possibilities of Indigenization/Africanization of African Education. Its main purpose is to overview the practices of traditional/indigenous education of Africa with emphasis on Ethiopia’s experience connected with curriculum development, and make possible suggestions that could contribute to curriculum development endeavors of Africa. The cultural heritage of the majority African countries is either ignored or not adequately considered in the formulation of educational policies and curricula in their modern African educational systems. Hence, a new path and paradigm shift are needed. To this end, considering Africa's outstanding IK with useful experiences of other countries in education particularly in the curriculum is critical to bring the required change. Woube Kassaye is Associate Professor currently engaged in teaching and researching at the Department of Curriculum and Instruction, College of Education & Behavioural Studies, Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia. His major field of study is Curriculum and Instruction and Music Education. 1. Traditional/Indigenous Education -- 2. African Indigenous/Traditional Education -- 3.
