The Relation between Colonial and Metropolitan Schools: A Structural Analysis.
Kelly, Gail P.
Comparative Education, v15 n2 p209-15 Jun 1979
It has been assumed that colonial schooling systems were always poor quality reproductions of the educational system in the colonizing (metropolitan) power. This paper compares the structures and curricula of colonial and metropolitan schools, finding not a reproduction, but a hierarchy, with the metropolitan school on top. (SJL)
