抄録

The purpose of this paper is to analize geographical curriculums and text books of the East Africa, and the auther reveals the contents of the geographical education in the national school education systems of these countries.
Because, in Japan, most previous studies of geographical education on the foreign countries were limited to European education systems. They have ignored the third world and also did not have any methodology in their geographical education. However, there are still very few studies on geographical education in the third world, in spite that she has now strong effects on the international politics and economics. In the former British East Africa such as Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, the subject on geography and natural history exist in the curriculum instead of social studies in Japan or the United States. In these countries geographical education has used for the upheaval of nationalism and contributed to national unity.
Usually the boundaries of new countries are not always coincide with that of races or tribes because of the results of European policy of colonization. Geographical education as well as national history is applied to the national policy for unity and development of the nations.
In these countries, parts of geographical education are only for nationalism and free from internationalism or international understandings. The auther intends comparative studies of these with the cases of the countries based on socialism or Marxism.
