Penser les problèmes d’une société dans une langue qui est non seulement étrangère mais aussi non maîtrisée par la majorité des locuteurs du pays conduit inévitablement à proposer des solutions décalées des réalités vécues et ressenties par les gens du commun. Penser des solutions endogènes qui feront sens pour l’ensemble de la communauté invite non seulement à renouer avec son histoire, mais aussi avec sa langue et les valeurs qu’elle a incorporée dans la longue durée. Se réconcilier avec l’une et l’autre permettra sans nul doute de puiser en elles des héritages féconds pour le temps présent ..read more

Fidgety at the fact that their child is lagging behind the working mother’s child ..read more

In order to holistically address the safety, security, and health needs of young learners, we need to have supportive services/systems in every environment that they interact with, i.e., the home, community, and school. Take a look at teenage pregnancy as an example. If we want to address the alarming rates of school attrition due to teen pregnancy, we must support families with the information, capacity, and time to discuss sexual and reproductive health with the children in their care.

''Education systems in Africa, not unlike its health systems, were built to reinforce hierarchies and indoctrinate indigenous people into participating in their own oppression. It is not so crazy, then, that after the end of formal colonization, Africans were left with institutions that were centred around colonial activity both in their physical locations and in their goals and methods''. Thank you for taking the time to listen to this pan African conversation with Alice Bayingana.  ..read more
