Colonial Education

Japanese: 植民地教育 - しょくみんちきょういく

When a certain ethnic group or country is colonized, the ruling power introduces an education system designed to assimilate them into the mother country's order and culture and to instill in them a sense of dependency on the mother country for life. However, from the perspective of the colonized people, this was nothing more than a series of anti-educational systems in which their right to an education was taken away and they were forced to adopt the education of the ruling mother country and make it their own. During the so-called era of imperialism from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, countries such as Britain, France, Germany, the United States, the Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, and Japan divided up Asia, Africa, and Latin America and ruled them as colonies.

Japanese:

ある民族，ある国を植民地にすると，支配本国はそこに本国の秩序･文化に同化させ，本国に依存して生きる意識を植えつけることを目的にした教育を持ちこむ。しかし，植民地の人々にとってみれば，これは自民族の教育権利を奪われ，支配本国の教育を押しつけられて，それを自分のものにするよう強制される，一連の非教育的体系にほかならない。19世紀後半から20世紀前半にかけてのいわゆる帝国主義の時代，イギリス，フランス，ドイツ，アメリカ，オランダ，イタリア，ポルトガル，日本などは，アジア，アフリカ，ラテン･アメリカを分割し，植民地として支配した。
