How are African and American schools different?

African and American schools differ in several ways. Firstly, the curriculum in African schools tends to be more standardized and focused on academic subjects, while American schools often offer a wider range of elective courses. Additionally, the infrastructure and resources in American schools tend to be more advanced compared to many African schools. Teaching methods and approaches to discipline also vary between the two regions.

How long did Native American boarding schools last?

The most well known and infamous boarding school in the USA was Carlisle Indian Industrial School, Pennsylvania, founded in 1879 by Captain R H Pratt. Children were often taken from their parents at age 6 (the age established by law in 1884), but many resisted and were taken at an older age. Some started school at 12 or 13. The children might remain at boarding school for 10 years or more, with only a few short periods allowed for visits home. Some children died of tuberculosis and never returned home; others were sent straight into employment after finishing their "education", which was aimed far more at removing native culture and civilising the children than giving a proper education.
