  1. The government exerts notions of power and control through is use of education…(hegemony). This implies that one of the ways hegemony infiltrates the system and reproduces the structural inequalties is through the education system and its use of curriculum text materials. Its about power and control. African (Black) children cannot reach their full potential in a european founded school. We have to firstly unpick the measure of success…mine is on a social spiritual economic level etc…u will never awakening in school. … school is meant to reproduce and dumm minds for the world of work….most education which an afrikan child is meant to receive will be done in informal settings eg…saturday school…village (community, parents granparents etc).

    That question has to b unpicked as to in whose opinion do we measure sucess?? And depending on social constructs there is ultimately a glass sealing. Whereby only our own self determination can aim to surpass…however in this time as parents are now more aware of constructs we aim to create a glass floor for our kids…but we need to go bk to our past in terms of mobility…we wernt meant to isolate and stagnate ourselves.

    Not only are we trying to assimilate however we have to relook at the methods we use to capture the intellect of our children…Firstly it starts with the books they read..what visuals u expose them to…if our children only see a mirror image of self in a exotic way…or as the black mammy or absent father. These discourses will ultimately have an effect on childrens image of self. Education is the black redemption…we have to form our own schools councils etc in order for our children to infiltrate and progress to their status of kings and queens…
    Our his -story is no more
    Our schools are no more
    Our education and familes they exploit galore
    I see the need for us to feed
    Our black self
    And
    Our black identity
