Abstract | "The article examines the role of the curriculum in institutionalising the relationship of diominance, control and submission in a colonial society - the British West Indies - after 1834. By drawing on cultural reproduction theories it is argued that schooling became an instrument of social control.... The ruling groups attempted to maintain their positions of dominance in the society by using the curriculum as a key instrument for socializing the children of the [black] masses to accept their views of social reality." Religious education dominated in the school curriculum, afterwards reading was integrated and only hesitatingly a broader curriculum was allowed. The article particularly describes the introduction of practical subjects which, however, faced objections as to the importance of these subjects for the black polulation.
