The concept of decolonizing curricula has emerged as a critical and transformative approach to reshaping education systems globally. Rooted in the recognition of historical injustices, the colonial legacy that has shaped much of the world’s intel-lectual traditions, social structures, and power dynamics, decolonizing curricula seeks to challenge the dominance of Eurocentric perspectives and prioritize marginalized voices, knowledge systems, and cultural experiences. Education has long been a tool for the perpetuation of colonial ideologies, where the perspectives and knowledge of colonized peoples were not only omitted but often erased, misrepresented, or belittled in Favor of Western frameworks. As a result, many educational systems, particularly in postcolonial societies, continue to reflect colonial values that perpetuate inequality, hinder critical thinking, and limit the intellectual growth of students from diverse cultural backgrounds. Decolonizing the curriculum involves reimagining what knowledge is considered valuable, and who gets to contribute to the educational canon. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
