Answer 1

• I would make the learners aware of of different coexisting knowledge systems. They should learn how indigenous cultures have used specific materials and processes to satisfy needs and become aware of indigenous intellectual property rights.
• Teach and uphold the value of the typical African humane feelings in relation to, and in the practice of technology as a human enterprise.
• Allow the learners to develop to greater heights the indigenous technology, whilst appreciating science behind it and using it more extensively to solve human problems.
• Promote greater awareness and encourage strengthening of the African communal spirit which would, more than ever before, be a central issue as scientific and technological innovations penetrate the fabric of human relationships, potentially leading otherwise to extreme impersonality.
• African men were educated and employed in the white-collar (high-status) economy built by the Europeans. Women, on the other hand, were slower to obtain education and employment in the white-collar economy. This disparity contributed to the gender inequality gap in the early colonial period.
