Summary:

"The book discusses the premise that the education system has taught Africans that anything African is inferior, pointing out that how the Eurocentric education approach has led to Africans regarding their culture as substandard and discarding their core values while adopting the Ubuntu approach could yield positive results in building and maintaining a country that embraces inclusive education irrespective of any disability"
