Traditional education embraces both the socialization process and other more technical skills. The former deals primarily with the transmission of values and the latter with techniques.The Mafa people live in the Mandara mountains, in the Northern part of the Cameroun. About 21⁄4 to 3% of them form an endogamous group of smiths: persons who occupy a centra! position in both economic and ritual activities. They master smelting, forge, pottery, divination, medecine, and assist others at birth and death.A brief description of those technics preceeds an analysis of their transmission within the group. The time needed to train a smith in a given technic is found to be directly related to its social value to the Mafa
