ABSTRACT

The aim of this study is to determine the way education for self-reliance can lead to lifelong learning in previously colonised countries to trigger sustainable development. The intention of the colonial education system was to train individuals for the service of the colonial powers. The colonised people were exploited and dehumanised by their colonial masters and emerged from the colonial period with knowledge that was irrelevant to their lives. This article used the qualitative research method to collect data as it provides a systematic and objective means to make valid interpretations from verbal, visual or written data in order to describe and quantify education for self-reliance in current educational circles. The literature and participants demonstrate the relevancy of education for self-reliance that would lead to lifelong learning to assist in closing the gap left by irrelevant colonial education. The study therefore indicates how the ideas of education for self-reliance can be adopted by decolonised countries to free themselves from depending on the West.

摘要

本研究的目的是确定自力更生教育如何在以前被殖民的国家实现终身学习，从而触发可持续发展。殖民教育系统的目的是培训个人为殖民国家服务。被殖民的人民被他们的殖民主人剥削和非人化，他们带着与他们的生活无关的知识从殖民时期走出来。本文采用定性研究方法收集数据，它为从口头、视觉或书面数据中做出有效解释提供了系统和客观的手段，以描述和量化当前教育界的自力更生教育。文献和参与者证明了自力更生教育的相关性，这将导致终身学习，以帮助缩小无关的殖民教育留下的差距。因此，这项研究表明了非殖民化国家如何采用自力更生教育的思想来摆脱对西方的依赖。
