Abstract
Central to education is the development and dissemination of knowledge even in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, such knowledge has to be relevant and in harmony with the context for which it is meant. The contention in this chapter is that in the age of fourth generation, Afrocentric knowledge should still form a foundation upon which African education is transformed. Innately related to Afrocentric education is the African indigenous knowledge system (AIKS), which represents the totality of all knowledge and practices used to manage the indigenous socio-economic, spiritual, and ecological facets of life. Based on a critical literature review, this chapter sought to foster diversity and inclusion by providing an Afrocentric conceptualisation of knowledge and pedagogy and finding a middle ground between indigenous and cosmopolitan pedagogies as a backdrop for curriculum transformation.
