Abstract:Across Africa, there is an ongoing process of articulation and integration of two kinds of knowledge systems: the local and the universal/formal. In developping a 'local curriculum' the Mozambican Ministry of Education aims at integrating local knowledge in basic education programmes, so that future citizens will be able to make use not only of universal/formal knowlegde but also of local knowledge in their communities and families. The article explains the term 'local curriculum' and describes the process of integration of local/traditional knowledge into the curriculum. It addresses educational practices and underlying values, and also mentions points of criticism on the current process of integrating local knowledge. Bibliogr., sum. [ASC Leiden abstract]
