What are the characteristics of colonial education?

Colonial education typically emphasized a Eurocentric curriculum, prioritizing Western knowledge and values while often undermining local cultures and languages. It aimed to produce an educated elite that could serve colonial administration, focusing on subjects like literature, science, and history from a colonial perspective. The system often reinforced social hierarchies and inequalities, marginalizing indigenous educational practices and knowledge systems. Additionally, access to education was usually limited, favoring certain Demographics over others.
