The high performance of African students in the United States seems to trigger a curiosity to probe into its underlying reasons.

Some admirers have come up with the explanation that the cultural differences and attitudes towards learning in addition to great level of efforts coupled with unreserved devotion to academics make the difference in African students.

The undeniable truth to this makes us take a close look at the core reason. The dynamism of Nigerian children’s education comes through traditional methods, customs and contents of their culture. Generally when education is mentioned, our ideas go to the formal western education.But in Nigeria, education is broader than the domain of the school system. One concept of education which the people of Nigeria embrace is the transmission of wisdom and the renewal of traditional values.

Through traditional education, social relationships are established by family history and lineage groups. Therefore, as a child grows, he or she is able to name their great-grandfather whom they had never met. Perhaps the village bears his name or he had made a history in the village. These methods make African traditional education quite different from the western form of education.

African children are undoubtedly capable of facing the challenges of maintaining the continuity of this method of education without jeopardizing their identity. In as much as the community helps kids make sense of their own identity, credit should go first to our African parents who modify the choices the children make.
