Abstract

The chapter explores arguments pertaining to inclusivity and equity in higher education with reference to the Afrocentric organising principles. Embedding Afrocentrism in higher education discourse will address inclusivity, redress the past deficiencies of equity access and outcomes, reduce socio-economic inequality, and stimulate physical wellbeing. Little attention has been given to the relevance of Africa's educational needs and other deficiencies emanating from the adoption of Eurocentric ideas and philosophies within which the African higher education system is currently anchored. Afrocentricity is a vehicle through which identity, communalism, cultural and ethnic tolerance, self-driven development will be realised. Afrocentricity has potential to enhance the feeling of self-identity, re-affirm African intellectualism and capabilities, and eliminate prejudice and discrimination of the African philosophies.
