I've read an interesting article about girl's education in African countries which was published in the newspaper " New York Times". The headline of the article is "Bringing Education to African Girls". It is written by Christopher F. Schuetzenov.
The topic of the article is connected with international education. The author in the article touches upon the problem of girl's education in such country as Zimbabwe.
As we know it's a poor country and families don't have anough money. And also parents think that girls don't have any opportunities to get a good job and because of that they don't want to pay for their education.
A British educator and philanthropist, Ann Cotton founded an organization "Camfed" that has helped millions of young girls in sub-Saharan Africa remain in school.
At the meeting’s opening by Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, co-founder and chairwoman of the Qatar Foundation, Ms. Cotton was awarded the $500,000 prize. Her early experience in Zimbabwe motivated her to found Camfed in 1993. She began to help and support more than 1.2 million students in Ghana, Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Also “virtuous cycle”was created by the organization trains teachers, mentors and community activists. There they share their own experience and advise about teaching. Also author mentions about Ms. Husain, who founded the organisation, which eliminates the gender gap in primary schools in in the northwestern Indian state of Rajasthan. Also here saing about evolution of global education and the author show us result of The Qatar Foundation survey, “School in 2030,” 645 education experts took part n it.
"Nearly half agreed that by 2030, most of what students learn will come from online, with 73 percent saying the role of the teacher would shift toward a guide and mentor for students and away from the traditional role as the source of knowledge, a role predicted by only 19 percent."
In my opinion it's really good idea to help students from poor countries because many people in such countries don't have any opportunuty to spend money on the education for their children. Everyone has the right to education. Nowadays our future depends on our education.If you don't have it you never can get a goog job.

So, what do you think about it?

I agree with you, that it's really important to have a good education for everybody. The current situation on the labor market in Africa is critical. But it's good that there is a special organisation, which can help girls to get education. This will also help to reduce unemployment and at the same time to fulfill the dream of many girls to have a job.

ОтветитьУдалитьThank you for your article. It's rather informative and kind. I'm glad that so many organizations are occupied with providing an access to the education for those who need it badly. Firstly, some free educational programs would give African children a real chance to realize themselves and prestigeous working opportunity as the best future variant.
ОтветитьУдалитьSecondly , if a girl living in slums somewhere in Africa will get the chance that for instance her mother or sister didn't have, she would appreciate it and will be quiet motivated to study hard.
As for my experience, there're a lot of sad examples of indifference toward the education or just underastimation of a fact of school even among my school mates. Some Russian pupils don't understand how gifted they are to have teachers to get knowledge from and conditions for perfect selfeducation such as internet or bookshops at the corner of each street..
Thank you, Mary, for the interesting information from this article. And it's true - now the problem of education is very important and urgent. Not all families can afford to give their children a good education because of financial problems. Therefore, I believe that the state should help those people who really want to get knowledge, who want to achieve something in life. Such assistance from the state will help children from poor families to receive the hope that all is not lost, get a good stimulus for the study.
