EDITORS COMMENTS
A Moment of Pride and Progress: Examination Day at the Huileries du Congo Belge (HCB) School, Alberta, Democratic Republic of Congo (circa 1920s) This evocative black-and-white photograph captures a significant moment in the history of education in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The scene unfolds in the classroom of the Huileries du Congo Belge (HCB) School, located in the rural town of Alberta. Established during the colonial era, HCB was a missionary organization that aimed to spread Christianity and promote education among the local Congolese population. The photograph portrays a group of eager students, mostly children, sitting attentively on the wooden benches, their focused expressions reflecting the importance of the occasion. The teacher, dressed in a European-style suit and holding a ruler, stands at the front of the room, poised to mark the answers on the blackboard. The chalk dust swirls in the sunlight that streams in through the open windows, casting long shadows on the floor. The HCB School was a beacon of hope and opportunity for the Congolese people, providing them with a valuable education that would help shape their future. The curriculum included reading, writing, arithmetic, and religious instruction, equipping the students with essential skills that would serve them well in their personal and professional lives. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of education and the transformative impact it can have on individuals and communities. Despite the challenges and complexities of the colonial past, moments like these remind us of the progress that has been made and the potential for a brighter future for all.
