K. Onuoha Chukunta Although philosophers do not accept that education has intrinsic values or th it serves instrumental ends (Dewey, 1966; Peters, 1967; Gribble, 1969), mos people would readily agree that it can be put to several uses and that it fulfills diverse functions. If by education we mean the aggregate of skills, values, know ledge, and attitudes necessary for the self-perpetuation of a society, it is easy t see its instrumental extensions, philosophers notwithstanding. Hence in every society that we know of today-under whatever form of government-much fait is placed on education as a panacea of all social evils. One of the tasks that educatio has been assigned in Africa is to forge national consciousness out of a myriad of ethnic particularities. From all indications, it has not been a success. Statistical studies of the relationship between formal education and politic integration in Africa have generally painted a grim picture. In their study of si nations-involving university students from Ethiopia, Ghana, Nigeria, Seneg Uganda, and Zaire (then the Congo)-Klineberg and Zavalloni (1965) found th national consciousness was very low, particularly in Nigeria. To the questio "What are you?" 56 percent of the Igbos and 60 percent of the Yorubas repl in terms of ethnic references. The Yorubas disliked the Igbos more than the Igb disliked them (74 percent Yorubas as opposed to 59 percent Igbos), and a Yoruba in Nigeria felt closer to a Yoruba in Benin (then Dahomey) than to a non-Yoruba in Nigeria. Working on Ghana and Kenya, Koplin (1968) found education to be nonintegrative in Kenya whereas in Ghana, the quality of the educational environment, not the level of education, was a better indicator of integration. Thus, the educational program itself was dysfunctional for the purposes of integration. Walter Haupt (1969) concluded from his own research on the Cameroon that, though formal education appeared to reduce ethnocentrism, the most important factors were prolonged contact, inter-ethnic proximity, and the resultant interaction. Together with Koplin's this study attempts to confirm the importance of recruiting policies and school organization. Investigating causes of emotional stress among Nigerian students in Edinburgh, a Nigerian psychiatrist, Amechi Anumonye, confirmed the ethnocentrism ex- hibited in the Klineburg-Zavalloni study. Anumonye's research showed that the friendship patterns of Nigerian students, even away from home, were ethnically determined. Very high proportions of Igbo and Yoruba students would mutually AFRICAN STUDIES REVIEW, vol.

For Ibos, 85% males and 94% females would exclude Hausas from marriage; and 86% males and 91% females would exclude Yorubas" (Anumonye, 1969: 68). Whereas the timing of the study (during the war) could have significantly influenced the results, the fact remains that the outcome confirms the general trend in the Klineberg-Zavalloni research. Also-and more importantly-the Yoruba respondents were not at war with the Hausa. They were, in fact, on the same side; yet the proportion of Yoruba who would exclude Hausas from marriage as well as friendship-63 percent females and 42 percent males-is rather high. The Anumonye finding is very important because inter-ethnic marriage indicates the highest degree of integration. It is not surprising that these findings are largely negative. African countries, as is known, are often regarded as "artificial" creations of recent origin, the colonial-commercial-Christian enterprise having brought the diverse ethnic groups together supposedly for the benefit and convenience of the metropolis. The creation of these entities resulted not only in an awareness of the existence of other groups but also in an inter-ethnic competition for power and dominance which, in some cases, resulted in open civil conflict (Whitaker and Callaway, 1973; Langley, 1974). Cognizant of this state of affairs, African leaders have placed a high premium on achieving at least a modicum of national unity through a variety of channels. Principal among these is education. A strong expression of faith in schools was made by A. Y. Eke, Federal Nigerian Commissioner for Education in the third republic, when he identified nation-building as one of the four "basic principles" that should govern a national educational policy. "One of the solutions" to the problems posed by ethnocentrism, he wrote, was to teach the child "to have pride in all those things which tend to the glory of his nation. . . ." (Eke, 1971:11). Unfortunately, however, the available evidence, as we have seen, tends to show that education has not reduced ethnocentrism to any significant degree. Now, education and ethnic diversity are not in themselves antithetical, nor is education inherently distintegrative. The type of educational programs and educational environment to which students are exposed, however, as well as the nature of inter-ethnic relations that the larger society promotes can be, and often has been, disintegrative. Focusing on Nigeria, this paper will attempt to show the dynamics of this disintegrative role. NIGERIAN EDUCATION AND NATIONAL INTEGRATION IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE The Colonial Period According to Schwartz (1965: 32), "the colonial legacy for independent Niger has been to delay and make more difficult the process of national integration." By design or accident, the net result of colonial administration supports Schwar statement.1 Despite Lord Lugard's famous but incorrectly named amalgama of Nigeria in 1914, the two sectors of the country-north and south-pursu different administrative practices. In the north, Lord Lugard, who was the governor and later the first govern general of the amalgamated Nigeria, was manifestly impressed by the class-bas aristocratic Hasua-Fulani social structure that seemed to remind him of his nat England and his own personal aspirations. It what might be considered an excess This content downloaded from 128.12.123.185 on Mon, 03 May 2021 06:24:42 UTC All use subject to https://about.jstor.org/terms EDUCATION AND NATIONAL INTEGRATION IN AFRICA 69 admiration, he described the Muslim north as "advanced communiti red to the south as "primitive tribes" (Lugard, 1965: 221). He, t preserve northern socio-political structures as he found them, British intervention. A successor to Lugard as governor of the north, Bell, described the policy as one of "guiding and improving Native R manner as to interfere as little as possible with the traditions and c people" (1911: 391). Expedience played a part in this policy. Both the the Hausa-Fulani emirates were manifestly weary from the wars of and promises of non-interference with the local culture and reli convenient and mutually satisfactory way of ending their state of be policy was also a reward for the loyalty of the emirs during World W 1919: 67). The policy of non-interference led not only to that of indirect r the practice of proscribing missionary activity in the territory exc described as "pagan," particularly those bordering the Niger-Benue whose people must also have been regarded as "primitive tribes." Lu on this question was based on four factors. Above all, it was a quest for the former military commander: he had to keep the British pr interference with the religion of the north. Secondly, as an ardent p and order, he wanted to prevent the erosion of authority and of resp for which christianization was being blamed in the south. Thirdly, missionary activity could have placed Lugard in the uncomfortable position of having to protect the missionaries and keep his promise i clashes with the populace. Finally, Lugard was anxious to maintain an air of superiority which he believed was crucial to the European presence in Africa. Attacks on whites-such as clashes between the indigenous population and missionaries-would do grieveous harm to the prestige of the white man. In his report on the amalgamation, he wrote in this respect (1919: 67): "In a country where it is of vital importance to maintain the prestige of Europeans, insults to missionaries must of necessity be resented by Government." The solution was to ban missionary activity in Muslim areas although Lugard knew that such an activity would have had at least one beneficial effect: the production of clerks and technicians for the colonial administration. Another corollary to non-interference was the attempt to limit or discourage the emigration of southerners to the north. The presence of christianized southerners, as traders or civil servants, often resulted in clashes with their Muslim hosts. To prevent further conflicts, Lugard confined the "strangers" to the outskirts of northern towns, a practice that was institutionalized by the Townships Ordinance of 1917 which delineated responsibilities and jurisdiction for various kinds of communities recognized therein. Given the conditions, it was of course to the interest of the southerners to live apart as they would otherwise be brought under Muslim jurisdiction. Thus were they segregated in self-contained and self-sufficient urban layouts known as Sabon Gari-"the strangers' quarters." They disposed of their own judicial establishments, religious institutions and school systems which, unexpectedly, were identical with those of the south. Educational policy as well as practice was closely articulated with administrative policy and practice. Hence, until 1929, the north and the south maintained differ- ent directorates of education. Different types of schools with differing aims, programs, and emphases were established in the two sectors, despite the amal- gamation that had taken place 15 years earlier. In conformity with indirect rule, the British built schools for the sons of northern This content downloaded from 128.12.123.185 on Mon, 03 May 2021 06:24:42 UTC All use subject to https://about.jstor.org/terms 70 AFRICAN STUDIES REVIEW chiefs and emirs, who would receive administrative and moral education in preparation for their future roles as rulers and leaders of their people. Thus was the famous Katsina College established in 1922. Students were "drawn from every part of the Muhammadan States" (Clifford, in Bello, 1962: 28). Since there were no "Muhammadan States" in southern Nigeria, no southerners attended the college; neither were equivalent schools established for them. The late Sir Ahmadu Bello, Premier of Northern Nigeria, who, as well as several northern leaders, received his training at Katsina College, regretted the absence of southerners in the school (Bello, 1962: 31). The program of the college reflected the culture of the Muslim north as well as the intentions that the colonial administration had for its students. In his inaugural speech, Sir Hugh Clifford, then governor of Nigeria, outlined the cardinal principles of the college thus: while living in this college the ordinary lives of young Muhammadan men of birth and standing, they [the students] should be subjected to no influence which might tend to make them careless about the observances of their religious duties, forgetful of the customs and traditions of their fellow countrymen or lacking in respect and courtesy of their parents, to all who occupy positions of authority and to all old people .... It will fall to them to teach... boys, not only lessons learned from books which they will here acquire, but the way that good Muhammadans would live, the good manners, good behavior and the courteous deportment without which mere book learning is of little worth (in Bello, 1962: 28-29). The students at Katsina College were obviously being prepared for leadership roles in the north, the expression "fellow countrymen" referring to that section alone rather than to the entire Nigerian polity. The policy of isolating the north from missionary work, and therefore from popular education, was reinforced by dissatisfaction in official circles with the behavior and comportment of educated southerners. Lugard (1965: 428) found "the output of these missionary schools . . . unreliable, lacking in integrity, selfcontrol, and discipline, and without respect for authority of any kind." In Lagos, the situation was described as "intolerable." Even Nigerians joined in disparaging their educated compatriots. In 1914, for example, Henry Carr, descendant of a Sierra Leonean immigrant family, who became the first African inspector of education in colonial Nigeria, described educated southerners in these terms: Not only is their stock of positive knowledge altogether inconsiderable on leaving school, but there is hardly a sign of growth of mental power or self-control. They are generally not intelligent, not reliable, not fitted for positions requiring independent judgment or resourcefulness (in Williams, 1973: 164). This criticism, which was intense in official circles, reflected the growing fear on the part of the administration that the western education of southerners would lift them out of their assumed station in life and lead to nationalist agitation. Indeed, as far back as 1882, much to the displeasure of the administration, a society had been formed in Lagos which was very critical of the colonial government. The behavior of the members and of the educated in general was attributed exclusively to "misdirected education" (Lugard, 1919: 60, 62). Contrary to the situation in the north, Christian missionary activity was intense in the south, particularly in the eastern provinces. It would appear that the more the people were regarded as primitive, the greater the intensity of evangelical work.2 Since, according to Lugard (1965: 437), the "animism and fetish of the pagan non-Moslem and non-Christian represents no system of ethics and no principles of conduct," the aim of proselytization was clear: to destroy that "animism and fetish." Ironically, the principle weapon for the assault and for transmitting the This content downloaded from 128.12.123.185 on Mon, 03 May 2021 06:24:42 UTC All use subject to https://about.jstor.org/terms EDUCATION AND NATIONAL INTEGRATION IN AFRICA 71 new system of ethics to the largest possible number of people was t would later provide independent Nigeria with its administrative and As the north was shielded from much missionary activity, it did n "benefit" of widely diffused education, and its stock of educated people was severely limited. This disparity was later to become a disintegrative factor in Nigerian society as corrective measures in employment had to be taken, which drew charges of discrimination by the south.3 The programs of the popular schools established in the south, and later in the north, were far from integrative. The cultural subject matter of Nigeria did not figure prominently in the curriculum, and when it did appear, it was treated in isolation. At the elementary level, history consisted of a few biographies: Oba Koso of Lagos, King Jaja of Opobo, and Shehu Usuman dan Fodio of Sokoto. At no point in the study of these historic personalities was national consciousness emphasized. The study of the humanities at this level was limited to a reading of the respective folk tales in the local language while religion meant exclusively the Christian religion, for the south, and the Islamic religion for the north. In the southeastern parts of the country, where missionary activity was vigorous, people generally knew of Islam through contact with resident Muslim traders from the north. With Cambridge Overseas School Certificate (COSC) dominating the scene at the secondary level, the non-integrative functions of the school seemed to grow in intensity. The papers administered in West Africa-as in other British colonies-were identical with those in England. History was English and European history; literature stretched from Chaucer to H. G. Wells; religious knowledge, for the Chris- tians, consisted of a study of one of the gospels and the Acts of the Apostles; for geography, the entire world was the field, with no particular attention paid to Africa or any individual African country. Of course there was the five years of Latin for those who offered the subject, while physics included a study of radiators but not of air conditioners. In effect, those who went through this education were prepared to function as potential Englishmen. This pattern continued at the university level since students either went to study in Britain or prepared for the degrees of London University at the local university college and sometimes as private external students. Given limited educational opportunity at the top, the disintegrative function of formal education seems to have increased in proportion to the number of years one spent in school. The net effect of this type of schooling was an absence of cross-cultural fertilization across ethnic boundaries. Nigerians emerged from educational institutions located in their country knowing little of themselves or of their ethnic neighbors. As can be seen, integration was not a concern of the schools under colonialism. The reasons for this are not far to seek. In the first place, colonialism had a definite mission, and national integration of the colonized societies was incompatible with that mission. Secondly, the majority of the schools, at least in the south, were controlled by missionaries whose aim was evangelical or, as a missionery put it, "simply an apostolic affair" (Zappa, in Ekechi, 1972: 177). Of the 26 secondary schools established in Nigeria between 1859 and 1929, 23 belonged to the missions (Abernathy, 1969: 36). Even schools that were established later by community effort were placed under missionary administration. Beyond proselytization, the other major concern of the schools seemed to have been the production of low and middle level clerical and technical staff to service the missionary-colonial machines. For reasons eloquently suggested by Lugard (1965: 59), the British did not consider it wise to export that category of workers to the colonies. According to him, This content downloaded from 128.12.123.185 on Mon, 03 May 2021 06:24:42 UTC All use subject to https://about.jstor.org/terms 72 AFRICAN STUDIES REVIEW The white man's prestige must stand high when the control and guidance of millions.

Nor is there room for motives, are content to place themselves on the s They lower the prestige by which alone the w and guide. As the colonial enterprise was an expensive exercise in funds and lives, particularly in the "white man's grave," and as the low-level workers would have had to be recruited from low-class Englishmen, local schools were assigned the task of producing the African equivalents of "mean whites," or, as Nduka (1964: 8) puts it, "Nigerians destined to serve in subordinate positions. .... " It should be recalled that in East and Central Africa, where the climate was more suitable to Europeans, little attempt was made to educate Africans, and Indians and Pakistanis were imported in place of Lugard's "mean whites."4 The organization of secondary education during the colonial era also contributed-though subtly-to non-integration. For reasons that are still unclear, whereas the duration of secondary schooling in the east and most of the west was five years, it was six in the north. With no particular educational advantage accruing to northern Nigerian students by reason of the extra year, they came to be regarded as dullards who spent six years to accomplish what others did in five or even four years.s Finally, reduced educational opportunity in the north, arising partly fr parental opposition and partly from official policy, was disintegrative. The pauci or total absence of northerners in institutions of higher learning not only rob everyone of an opportunity to develop attitudinal consensus through proximity also confirmed in the minds of southerners their erroneous belief in the "inferior- ity" of their northern compatriots. Furthermore, it resulted in limited northern representation in the federal public service, a situation that was later to develop into a minor political crisis. This unflattering record notwithstanding, it must be mentioned that in the late twenties the British colonial government had attempted an educational reform that could have enhanced national integration despite the unwholesome philosophical foundation of the reform (Lyons, 1975). As an outgrowth of the new educational policy (Great Britain, 1925), it was decided to establish a Nigerian School Certificate Examination in place of the Cambridge Overseas School Certificate.6 The program of study was to reflect local conditions and culture. The plan did not materialize, however, owing to strong and organized opposition by educated southerners in Lagos and Calabar. It was in part to articulate this opposition better that the Lagos Youth Movement, predecessor of the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC), was formed (Awolowo, 1962; Coleman, 1965). The Post-Colonial Period Political independence has not enhanced the integrative function of educ as few radical changes have been made in the structure and organization of programs nor in the development of policy. At best, independence has wro few cosmetic changes. A good example of this educational tinkering is the inations system. The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) was officially organ 1952 as a successor to the Cambridge University Local Examinations Sy that administered the Cambridge Overseas School Certificate (COSC) Exami at the end of the secondary school career.

B. Jeffrey, in WAEC, 1973: 13). This "true adjustment" has con of subject-matter additions and a multiplicity of the examining f council. For the purposes of national integration in the member c council, the net result is the same as before. The total educational environment is organized in such a manner that the production of politically integrated citizens is still a dream. In the first place, the WASC places heavy emphasis on the cognitive to the neglect of the affective upon which the integrative role of education rests. As is the case with its English equivalent, the approach to the study of history is exclusively periodic, and the examination questions are designed to test a sound knowledge of historical facts, a reasonable power to select such facts as are appropriate to the questions set and the ability to adapt the matter so selected to the requirements of the question (WAEC, 1975: 170). This curriculum design introduces such a close-knit articulation between subjectmatter and examination that affective outcome-if any-is incidental rather than deliberate, heavy emphasis being placed on the acquisition of facts for its own sake. The supra-national scope of the WASC diminishes further its integrative role. All of anglophone West Africa, including Liberia, is involved in the activities of the WAEC. Accordingly, the syllabus in history and literature, for example, encompasses this entire geographic area. Yet it is difficult to see how the study of the history of West Africa, from 1000 to 1800, will bring an Igbo and a Hausa together, particularly when the approach to the study of the subject is not issue-oriented. Despite the global scope of the syllabus and its obvious inadequacies, the vocal segment of the respective member-countries of the WAEC continues to project national integration as an aim in education. Functionally, these countries are, in fact, striving for the "creation" of a West African man. The lack of concern for integration in educational practice, as shown by the few examples described above, is complemented by a similar absence of concern on the policy level. An examination of documents of ministries of education in the first republic shows that only the former Eastern Nigeria "devoted considerable attention to the problem of integration" (Peshkin, 1967: 31). The writings of Nigerian political leaders equally reveal a disregard for this important role of education in a multi-ethnic society. Though there has been increased pronouncement on the issue on the part of public officials, the succession of military regimes has not brought with it any fundamental change in the integrative function of education.7 In spite of the unfavorable picture painted here, education contributed inadvertently towards a development of a sense of regional community among secondary and post-secondary students both during the colonial and post-colonial periods. Mainly owing to limited educational opportunity in certain areas, Nigerians attended school outside their ethno-linguistic and geographic areas of origin. The pattern of movement was usually intra-south or south-north; rarely was there movement in a north-south axis. Since most of the students lived in boarding houses, the school consequently brought Nigerian adolescents of diverse ethnic backgrounds into very close contact for a five-year period. This prolonged contact spurred the development of group sentiment and reduced levels of ethnic particularism. The sense of community thus created was further nurtured by the old-boy network (Abernathy, 1969: 257), but it was almost wiped out by the Biafran war.

The interaction of education and national integration in pre-colonial socie treated here since the problem did not arise. The respective ethnic groups were integrated, the scope of their relations was not national-in the current context word-and the system of education was not bureaucratically organized. For s cultural integration in these societies, see Cohen and Middleton (1970). 2. For treatment of missionary activity in southern Nigeria, see principally Ajayi Ayandele (1966) on the Yorubas, and Ekechi (1971) and Isichei (1973: 1976 Igbos. 3. An example of these corrective measures was admission into the cadet officer corps of the armed forces. For southern applicants, the minimum qualification was a pass in Division I or II in the Cambridge Overseas School Certificate Examination or its successor-the West African School Certificate-with at least credits in English and mathematics. Northern applicants did not even have to take the examination. Similar conditions obtained for employment in the Federal Public Service and for admission into Federal Technical schools, such as the Veterinary School, Vom, which itself was located in the north. 4. The importation of foreigners as clerks, technicians, and teachers was attempted in Nigeria with mixed results. The experiment with Indians in northern Nigeria in 1906 was considered a success. (Indians were selected probably because of the similarity in religious background.) In the south, West Indians were used as teachers at Bonny, Benin City, and Lagos "with no satisfactory results." For accounts of these experiments, see Great Britain (1906: 27; 1908: 5) and Lugard (1919: 61). 5. After independence, Government College, Umuahia, Eastern Nigeria, attempted an experi- mental four-year program and obtained spectacular results in the School Certificate Examination. 6. According to Lewis (1965: 94-95), the suggestion for local examinations was made by one E. R. Swanston. This must have been part of the over-all discussion, during the era, of how to best educate the African. See, for example, Azikiwe (1934) and Dougall (1930). For ideological background to the "new education," see the excellent work by Lyons (1975). 7. The Nigerian Youth Service, which requires a year of residence and work of recent university graduates in states other than theirs, is probably the greatest official boost to integration. However, less than one-half of one percent of the Nigerian population attends university. 8. The Nigerian government has since adopted a new policy on education which assigns to education the task of helping the country to achieve its national goals. The first of these goals is "a united, strong and self-reliant nation." Yet only at the primary level is there provision for curricular reforms for integration (Ali, 1977: 10). Integration as an educational aim is notably absent at the secondary and university levels.
