Abstract:This article stresses the neglected aspects of the inter-war educational policy in British tropical Africa which was generally referred to as Adaptation. Stated policy and educational practice were so divergent as to merit special attention. Adaptation which was introduced in 1923, was a transplant of an educational policy which grew gradually in New Zealand and India and crystallized during the era of New Imperialism in the 1890s in South Africa and in the south of the United States. The policy was distinctive in the main by an initial curb on higher education and an emphasis on 'industrial' education in the elementary vernacular school for the masses. Allowance was made for the evolution of adaptation according to globular political changes. Ref.
