These methods can change from one generation to another or almost parallel to development, to the structure and to some ideals of modern societies. However, in traditional societies, some methods are the same everywhere in Africa.

This present work attemps to point up this traditional education in ngbandi’s environment where the emphasis is put on the why and wherefores of education.
