Mass Education in Togoland

A. G. DICKSON, M.B.E.

After commanding an Army unit charged with Mass Education work in East Africa during the war (this Journal for January 1945), the writer went in early 1948 to the Gold Coast as Mass Education (later Social Development) Officer. His work was delayed for various reasons, the Government considering that the troubled times did not warrant any of the usual approaches, through mass literacy, village development (Udi or Jamaica Welfare), or citizen training. Eventually, short intensive courses for potential leaders in voluntary social service were organised in rural areas among the educated class, on the lines recommended by the 1948 Conference at Cambridge. The first campaign was among the Ewe people, between November 1948 and February 1949, being followed by a joint campaign with the French in both parts of Togoland.
