Africa African African Reading Education

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of education in French West Africa during the early 20th century. The image depicts a scene from the Chechia - Pagne - Method of Reading and Writing, a full course taught in schools across the region. Created by L. Sonolet and A. Peres, this method aimed to provide African children with essential literacy skills. Illustrated by Mr. Leon Colmet d'Aage, a Painter of the Colonies Department, this educational tool was instrumental in shaping young minds and fostering a culture of learning in colonial Africa. The book was published by Librairie Armand Colin in Paris in 1915, showcasing the collaboration between European educators and African scholars. The dimensions of this historical artifact are 21 x 15 cm, making it a tangible reminder of an era when education was seen as a tool for empowerment and progress. Through books like these, children were able to access knowledge that would shape their futures and open up new opportunities for them. As we reflect on this image, we are reminded of the importance of education in breaking down barriers and empowering individuals to reach their full potential. It serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of those who sought to bring about positive change through learning and enlightenment.
