Abstract: The main purpose of value creating education in the African traditional societies was to inculcate into young children moral values and norms that were acceptable within the given society. The education system was also geared towards promoting other values like respect for self and others, peaceful co-existence, love for another, integrity, tolerance and social cohesion. This paper highlights aspects of value creating education in the African context and explore lessons that the current generation can borrow from the African Traditional Education.
