It is known that colonialism is a policy of imperialistic states, directed to the exploitation and oppression of the nations numbering a many millioned history.
Since 17-18 cc. Trade of slaves, unequivalent exchange of gold, silver and other precious metals had taken a part, leading to improverishment of peoples of the colonies. To The end of the 19 c. when the territorial and world division and partition between the largest imperialistic powers had been completed, almost all the territory of Africa, Black Asia and Latin America had been turned into colonies and semi-colonial territories. A predominant role in colonization, the 16th -beginning of the 17th c. belonged to Spain and-Portugal, in the 17th c.- to Holland and since the 18th c. England had taken the first place in colonization.
After the World War II, with changing of correlation of forces for the oppressed nations, by strengthening of the colonial-liberation movement the disintegration of the colonial system had been begun, completed in the 6080s. Thus, in 1945, 675 mln people lived in colonies, but only 7 mln 3 to 1981.
The colonialism had a fatal consequences for many people. According to the data of the UNESCO, 700 mln illiterates have lived in the territory of the former colonial countries.
The 15th Session of the United Nations General Assembly adopted a "Declaration on independence for colonial countries and people and as a result, many African, Asian and Latin American countries received independence, favouring economy, culture and education for these nations. For example, we can show the influence of colonialism upon the sphere of public education. For this purpose we analyse an education state in Angola, Mozambique and South Rhodesia.
