Colonization refers to the large-scale population movements where migrants maintain
strong links with their or their ancestors’ former country, gaining significant privileges over
other inhabitants of the territory by such links. When colonization takes place under the
protection of colonial structures, it may be termed settler colonialism. This often involves
the settlers dispossessing indigenous inhabitants, or instituting legal and other structures
which systematically disadvantage them. Colonialized inhabitants often lose their land,
properties and indigenous knowledge. To apply the stages of cultural development in an
African perspective I would:
Make learners aware of different coexisting knowledge system. They should learn

undermined, forthcoming generation will lose their cultural roots and indigenous
knowledge. To apply the stags of cultural development I would:
Promote greater awareness and encourage strengthening of the African communal
spirit which would, more than before be central issues as scientific and technological
innovations penetrate the fabric of human relationships, potentially leading
otherwise to extreme impersonality.
Decolonization
Decolonization is the undoing of colonialism, the latter being the process whereby a nation
establishes and maintains its domination of foreign territories. During this period
inhabitants started gaining awareness about the value of indigenous knowledge, and it was
incorporated in debates on curriculum policies in education. This was an agitated period and
