- Abstract
The purpose of this paper try to answer the question: what is the best part of the inclusion of a postcolonial African gender approach for improving female development and education for more equal and just societies? The main objective of this paper is the connection between the benefits provided by the gender perspective and a specific way to educate. Therefore, we’ll try to connect the benefits of a gender and postcolonial approach, based on African studies, with the education for a social and equal development for girls and boys. The research method followed for achieving these goals is based on the study of qualitative principles, documentary analysis, research reports and reflective practices for action; the postcolonial and gender approach is based on African research which attempts to transform the educational activity and the equality in development. The main results and conclusions of the paper establish that education is the center of the discussions about the need for an equitable society with social justice. Regarding that, we need different social approaches from dominant thinking. Among the contributions of these new social paradigms, we find the contributions that African and postcolonial feminism make to citizenship. This approach puts emphasis on topics such as gender, development, empowerment and education. These different topics will define a particular way to know, to be and to act in favor of a social justice.
