While many countries in Eastern and Southern Africa are on track for meeting the Education for All targets, there is a growing recognition of the need to improve the quality of basic education and that a focus on pedagogy and its training implications needs to be at the heart of this commitment.

The primary objective of this article is to critically examine some aspects of the traditional Ghanaian and Western philosophies of adult education.
