Traditional education in Africa is mainly practical not theoretical like the European schools. In the level of familial education the child was trained to replace his father in the work. So if the father was a smith or a warrior he tried to make his male children follow his steps from their youths. They learned to manipulate the spear and the shield or how to deal with the anvil and the hammer. The learner had no choice; he had to respect the division of work which perpetuated itself from generation to generation. He could not create; his knowledge was only that of elders, the same experiences were transmitted through generations.
