To identify the aims and goals of the Yoruba culture; and to examine the relationships between those aims and goals and those of the formal education 9 and between theory and practice. 2. To identify and examine the consistencies and inconsistencies between the Yoruba value patterns and those of formal education. 3. To examine the possibility of identifying some elements in the Yoruba traditional culture which could be incorporated into the present educational system. 4.
