Perhaps best expressed by Professor Chinua Achebe: ‘What you want to do as a teacher is to make people aware of the complexity of experience – that our little corner is real and very important, but it is not the whole. And we should make the effort to understand as much of the rest as we can possibly manage. This is not a threatening position: it is an enriching one. This is what education should aim to do: to draw out from us what is there so that it can interact with what’s outside.’
