On the first day of school, my teacher, Miss Mdingane, gave each of us an English name and said that from thenceforth that was the name we would answer to in school. This was the custom among Africans in those days and was undoubtedly due to the British bias of our education.

I'm not dismissing the value of higher education; I'm simply saying it comes at the expense of experience.

Computers themselves, and software yet to be developed, will revolutionize the way we learn.

Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from the fiction.

The education I received was a British education, in which British ideas, British culture, British institutions, were automatically assumed to be superior. There was no such thing as African culture.

No country can really develop unless its citizens are educated. Any nation that is progressive is led by people who have had the privilege of studying.
