This discussion postulates the Cross Border Education in not new to the ECOWAS region. Neither is it new to the science and practice of Education. While the label (that is, the nomenclature may be new), the concept (that is, the notion) has always been with us. The discussion examines the concept in its present-day conception and goes on to explain a number of illustrative cases of Cross Border Education, beginning from ‘when Africa was Africa’ (pre-colonial days) through the period of colonial experience to the tempestuous and hard-hitting post-colonial years.
