Aliu Babatunde Fafunwa’s philosophy of education
Abstract
As the first indigenous Nigerian professor of Education and as a highly influential Nigerian Minister of Education, Aliu Babatunde Fafunwa is distinguished and honoured in Nigeria and elsewhere as a thought leader in the area of education. It is with this understanding that this study traced his philosophy of education with the view to highlight the underpinnings, meanings and significance of his views and actions. Using logical, linguistic, critical, and expository analyses, the study concluded that his worldview and work typify a philosophy of cultural reconstruction. The philosophy stresses continuous cultural reconstruction of society through education—for sustainable development of the society. It is argued that the philosophy has implications for education and development in Nigeria. Therefore, it is recommended for the country and similar countries.
