ABSTRACT
Amid the changing winds of Africa, Zambia is independent. In Rhodesia, African education began with the missionaries who had opened schools before the British settlers arrived in 1890. At least two new church-state accommodations are taking place in Rhodesia and Zambia. As in Rhodesia, the Colonial Office Advisory Committee on Native Education in the British Tropical African Dependencies entered the picture as a catalytic agent. By education ordinances the government influenced missions to educate Africans along lines not likely to clash with European interests. Harold Jowitt responsibilities included education, agriculture, industrial training, community welfare, and all other aspects of African development. G. C. Latham favoured mission-managed education judiciously combining religious, literary, and industrial studies. The advanced Africans' demand for academic education was recognized and cautiously permitted with the admonition that "It should be the aim of the government to guide African desire in the right direction."
