The Educated Africana

EDUCATED AFRICANA: EP.12 - Government's Role in Education

Can we talk about the elephant in the room and the whole array of other animals with it? African governments are struggling in the area of Education. Whether there is even a will to provide quality is debatable. 60 years down the line most countries are till grappling with education models they inherited with barely any improvement, reformation or complete overhaul towards creating a relevance and representation. Mwansa Mukalula-Kalumbi and Faith Abiodun discuss the role government plays in Education granted it is the main education provider for the majority of the population. What more can be done by government? Let's talk about it. *** The world has advanced so quickly. However, education in Africa is not keeping up at the same pace. Be it the curriculum content, teaching methods or stakeholders commitment, there is an urgency to adapt to the times. Furthermore, conversations around Education have only focused on the traditional models. Until now. The Educated Africana, hosted by Tebogo Kangote III brings together diverse voices to have in depth discussions about Education in Africa.

EDUCATED AFRICANA: Ep.11 - Inclusive Education

What does inclusive education really look like? Earlier in the season we learned that Free Education does not include children with special needs, and yet they need it the most. We have learned that girls skip school because of their periods, and yet condoms are given out for free whilst sanitary towels have a price tag. Every child has the right to education, and yet many are left behind. Andrea Mwalula talks at length with Tebogo on the possibilities of an inclusive education system on the African continent. Let's talk about it. *** The world has advanced so quickly. However, education in Africa is not keeping up at the same pace. Be it the curriculum content, teaching methods or stakeholders commitment, there is an urgency to adapt to the times.

EDUCATED AFRICANA: EP.9 Trades vs. Corporate

How do you define success? What do you want for your children? Do you believe that there is a strict hierarchy of trades and corporate jobs? We here this over and over again of how back in the day our parents wanted us to have the top three jobs; lawyer, doctor, or engineer. But we all soon learned not everyone can be in those professions. We need people across the board. So why is there such a stigma against blue collar jobs? Zenith Malawo and Gift Mbewe have an exciting discussion about the pros and cons of both trades vs. corporate career paths. They also discuss the prevailing perceptions.  Let's talk about it. *** The world has advanced so quickly. However, education in Africa is not keeping up at the same pace.
