Education is
the main factor for the improvement of society, therefore it should be
given a great consideration, as it is said, it should take place ‘from
womb to tomb’. Furthermore, education is a continuous process that seeks
to safeguard the social basis. Education of the people is therefore so
important because illiterate people represent an obstacle to human
development. Educated people can be feared when they use their education
in the form of protest, particularly political. In this respect,
education is a hard task that should be undertaken with great care. That
explains why in most countries, education and its planning are under the
control of the government. Sierra Leone is an area in West Africa which
witnessed the appearance of an intellectual group of people, called
educated elite, who tried their best to improve their country and used
their abilities for its advancement and not its deterioration. Education
was a weapon which extremely assisted them to reach their goals. The
objective of this article is to deal with the emergence of Sierra
Leonean educated elite who sought to achieve their participation in the
government and the administration of the country through constitutional
means based on elected representation. What was the position of this
category of people within the colonial framework?
