Abstract

The importance of drama as extending far beyond its default objective of entertainment is universally acknowledged. It has long been recognized that theatre in Africa fulfills a social role ( Eyoh, 1987 ). Consequently, educational drama on the continent has also emerged as a vital pedagogical tool, fostering creativity and critical thinking among students while addressing socio-cultural issues. Rooted in traditional performance practices, it has evolved through formal and informal educational contexts, particularly in secondary schools and community settings ( Hakib, 2022 ).
