Abstract

Globalization has always been with us right from the time of European incursion into Africa that was signed in the Berlin Conference. The trend is for the developed world to continually be in search of avenues to increase her domination and exploitation of the developing world through multiple means and opportunities. The paper studied globalization and the trend of international schools in Africa. Globalization through its aegis of trade-liberalization that engenders privatization, public private partnership, commercialization among others is aimed at capital accumulation for the imperial West and their cronies. The findings of the work include that international schools are yet another means of extension of globalization and its operations in Africa. All its intents and operations are aimed at maintaining Western domination and exploitation on Africa. It is recommended that until African leaders wake up from their slumber to face the reality with measures and policies to engender African development and halt neo-imperialism, new avenues to hold Africa will continue to emerge. International Schools should be made accessible to the locals by reducing the cost of accessing the schools in all dimensions. The culture of the locals and language should not be relegated to the ground but also be put in use to make the schools have human face.
