In today's episode we take a critical stance on the education system by assessing the structure of various curricula and some of their historical influences that are mostly rooted in colonisation. We did this by comparing and contrasting our experiences with Kenyan, American and British systems of schooling and their influences on developmental factors such motivation, autonomy, esteem, creativity and identity. We then concluded by proposing some changes for education systems as the standardised nature of learning has been seen to inhibit innovation. Ultimately, in the words of Wangari Maathai, it is absolutely crucial to "decolonize your mind" from the beliefs that we are taught, because there is no objective truth outside of fact.
