Abstract:
The graduation rate for African-Americans in the United States is alarming at a time when jobs require college degrees and advanced career knowledge. The disparities in African-American graduation rate are partly due to the lack of allocated resources and insufficient preparation. Educators and leaders are concerned about the challenges facing African American students and their graduation rate. Hines et al. (2020) and Kunjufu (2007) argued that the impact of class differences and socio-economics on teaching and learning puts forward other factors as better predictors for educators to gauge st

Abstract:
Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are effective in graduating African American students who are poised to be competitive in the corporate, research, academic, governmental and military arenas.

Abstract:
Abstract Western education still dominates the education terrain across Africa. For some people, the dominance is nothing but ‘academic imperialism,’ which is believed to have relegated African scholars to mere conduits of knowledge through which European and American scholarship and interests are protected and promoted. Consequently, a dissident voice is resonating in the African educational system, particularly South African education system, demanding the recognition of ‘home-grown’ knowledge to solve home-grown problems.
