Navigating The Nexus Of Afrocentric Education And Sustainable Development In Kenya: A Critical Exploration Of Opportunities And Challenges

Abstract: In the dynamic landscape of education and development, Afrocentric education has emerged as a powerful paradigm that emphasizes the integration of African cultural values, knowledge systems, and pedagogical approaches into formal education. This shift aligns with the growing recognition of indigenous knowledge as a vital resource for sustainable development. Kenya, with its rich cultural heritage and commitment to sustainable development, stands as a compelling case study for examining the intersection of Afrocentric education and sustainable development. This scholarly topic delves into this critical nexus, exploring the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.
