Developing an "inclusive curriculum" that highlights Afrocentric knowledge will be a difficult task in Canadian schools. Nevertheless, the educational stories and experiences of Black/African-Canadian high school students demonstrate the need for a very different approach to both curricular offerings and pedagogic practices. Afrocentric knowledge not only is important for the intellectual and social growth of such students, but plays a part in the multi-centric education of all students. A curriculum which is inclusive in this broad sense will entail transformation of educational structures in Canada. L'elaboration d'une "pedagogie de l'inclusion" qui met en lumiere les connaissances afrocentriques s'averera une tâche difficile pour les ecoles canadiennes. Quoi qu'il en soit, les propos et les experiences des eleves noirs canadiens du secondaire demontrent la necessite d'une approche tres differente dans les programmes et les methodes pedago- giques. Les connaissances afrocentriques sont importantes pour le developpement intel- lectuel et social de ces eleves, en plus de jouer un role dans l'education multicentrique de tous les eleves. Un programme faisant ainsi appel a une pedagogie de l'inclusion necessitera la transformation des structures de l'education au Canada
