Summary
When the Colonial Office in January, 1944, published the White Paper on “Mass Education in African Society,” it was the first publication in which the experience of different countries was brought to bear on this world-wide problem. Although this report was written with the British Colonies definitely in mind, and in particular the African territories, it was in effect an attempt to consider Mass Education as a world problem in its broadest aspects.
