ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book begins with a preliminary interrogation of the African Union's Pan-African University systems that have been established on the African continent, as well as those that have been founded and funded by a number of stakeholders for the education of African people within and without the African continent. Tribal systems of education have proven themselves inadequate for modern technological societies. The educational philosophies of the African leaders of the 1960s have uncanny similarities to those of American nationalists of the 1700s and the 1800s. Pan-African education advocates the establishment of not only stellar pan-African university centers, but also the institutionalization of pan-African teachers colleges to help produce pan-African teachers for all levels in the African educational process. The education of the African military and police is also an ineluctable aspect of pan-African education.
