Redefining the Philosophy of Education in Congo-Brazzaville

Among the missions assigned to man, ＂educate and train＂ occupy a place of choice. The school is one of the notorious moulds for the positive development of human attitudes and aptitudes, with a view to personal fulfillment and social integration. In opting for this ideal, we must remember that an educational philosophy reflects a social philosophy. And social philosophy is seen as a blueprint for guiding the educational process, suggesting appropriate objectives based on life’s diversities, while helping to prepare the younger generation to face the challenges of the modern age. It is in this context that this study, divided into three essential sections, has devoted itself to a concise and precise examination of the main problems of education, with concomitantly suggested attempts at solutions, under the semantic coding of remaking ＂the philosophy of education in Congo-Brazzaville＂. To intelligibly address some of the major challenges facing the Congolese education system, following the approach of a socio-philosophical ethic circumscribed to the context of the Congo; such is the problematic evoked in this work.
