ABOUT PRAKIS - IEC 2022

Prakis First International Education Conference known as "Prakis -IEC," seeks to address Educational issues within the African continent by bringing all educational stakeholders and interested communities together under one roof to discuss, brainstorm and come up with positive outcomes.It's a known fact that African countries suffered colonialism for centuries, such as in politics, trade, culture, education, etc. For over 400 years, Africa countries were colonised by different European countries, for instance, Mozambique was colonized by Portugal, South Africa by the Netherlands and Britain, Mali by France, Libya by Italy, Burundi by Belgium, etc.As a result, most African countries were compelled to copy their colonisers' curriculum. This practice has been a cause for African states to design their educational curriculum to please the colonisers thinking that it is the right way to participate in the global world. Though liberated, many countries in Africa have not fully decolonised their curricula.

The danger of Africa still seeking expatriates from western countries and continuing to be a consuming and not a producing continent needs to be confronted now. The educational curriculum designed to subject Africa's brilliant, and intelligent children to perpetually hunt for jobs in foreign countries while leaving our continent in shambles needs to be addressed. Furthermore, the decaying of African morals and values need to be redressed. Prakis Educational Services believe that it is high time to frontally and collectively confront the African educational, industrial, and entrepreneurial flaws through a continental platform that can ensure a continental paradigm shift in the right direction.

It is in this light that the organisation decided to organise an International Education Conference in partnership with the Pan- African Parliament, African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD), African Career Development Centre (ACDC), African Tourism Board (ATB), Achievers University, Nigeria and Revealed Word University, South Africa, Rwanda, and the USA.

This conference is the start of the annual series of PRAKIS - IEC seeking to create a platform wherein there will be an exchange of ideas, knowledge, and experiences between the education implementers, planners, designers, academics, researchers, and other stakeholders. A working document will be compiled from the deliberations, resolutions, and recommendations of the conference.

PRAKIS - 1st IEC will be taking place in one of the most welcoming and breath-taking cities in the world, Pretoria - South Africa. We look forward to welcoming you to this first-of-its-kind Conference to be held on African soil.

Note: Research papers presented at PRAKIS - IEC Conference will be peer-reviewed and published by a reputable and internationally accredited book publisher with an ISBN.
