so what coming to you from the streets of the most, you can have become a pewter, it makes sense to all the topics that the colonization of african education from here. because maybe half of the country's population, more than a 1000000 people are illiterate. it cannot read white, simple with mistakes, 50 p years off independence from portugal. who is to blame for this poor state of affairs? i called for jose, my landing of the pit of going to university pulcher professor. thank you so much for joining us. what do you think the most and big education system should be changed in any way to reflect more than most and culture and american beacon history and perhaps less for the portuguese colonial wasting perspective? right now, i think that the most efficient system is, is still very, very dependent is still filling a lack of,

of local content. if it's a one part of the issue. but then i want, is that the quality itself of the integration, the, the curriculum is, is yes, it's not reflecting the needs, today's needs on the wall to wall requirements for, for integration. what was that begins? what it means means that it's not competitive. the curriculum competitive in one part due to the, to the language used. this would be so for the system of question, but people don't be much better than myself. which of us, they speak walker languages and there is no investment on on development for local local languages. why not? why not? why not? i used to say, well, where the good, the good government was not investing on that. and government wouldn't do that in one hand. because of the minister of education,

the rules are that in this area so that the minister of education is not is not indefinite at all. the use call, it's not the minister of education, but the end your actual because they, their financial donors and the donors dictates what should be out the students studying if history and geography only from grade 8 and it too late. well, under basic education, we don't have that. and you have now even, i mean students who diversity, we don't, we don't know that the history of colonialism. how. how did portugal portugal rule here? because it's, it's, there's a process of wiping out the memory of colonialism. who are the jonas, the donors of the western countries? that there's not a secret. we forgot to the documentary to, to, to find out who, who is financing that the minister of education is that the worth and congress with

an organization's entity, mine's undermine the, the silver and of the country. actually it, because if people don't know the history that they're coming from and on, on the geography and the reality that relative to the environment they're leaving, leaving on the richness, their, their resources, the country has well from gradated means not all of them have the possibility to get them into, to get to know profoundly that they're reaching the context was great, a good until gray 10. and after that, if you choose, for example, the section of natural science with, with belgy, for example, you will never see any moment you are in geography. so, yourself that he didn't do you think that even you say from grade 8 they are taught students are taught history and geography. it's ignoring even the history and

geography of countries like russia and try new and eastern countries. and again, it's pretty much the perspective of america, europe, and that part of the world that pretty sure is right, because when they talk about, let's take, for instance, we'll go to, for example, we know much more about montgomery and so al non monday and all the rest of the month about studying grad about what happened to me in the soviet union. what the russian is. if we just hear it my time that you kill it was just just a fraction of that. and all the, all the or the victory, all the power, all the deeds, western. so that's, that's the way it was. western perspective of everything, not to move away from a kind of pro portuguese. pro colonial history is also because the powers that be the donors don't want to have any kind of payback. i don't know if that's the right

way to any kind of responsibility for the history that's out there. so, but that's all about the same is what proportion is actually, it's not not, not in that sense, but it's in the sense that also been open when i was going after i meant to ask for responsibilities, what happened. it's a long, long to all the centuries. there is a thing is it wasn't because people are very pacific that they got everything they're not demanding. and i mean to be able to say, so for from portugal and my theories at the foot, because most of the people are pacific, just because they don't know entities is being these, these memories being delivered through with raises. so that's, that, that's what's happening. and afterwards, the students today, okay, the students tomorrow their, their, their ministers, for example,

they will have to defend interest of the cut over this country. but how will they do that if they don't know the reality then already they have a story that they will continue with this with this, this new colonial new colonial system. because they don't know they will implement whatever the donors, the, whatever the partners ask and demanded them to do it because they don't have, they'll have a didn't identity. what you don't have to benefit from beacons. not knowing the benefit. everything though it is, it is still that if you still have the, the power on all the resources of the country by impending counter for developed by cutting them this, by cutting the cautiousness of the country itself. men of the, of the nationality of the roots. well, it's easier to manipulate,

easier to control, these are to, to gain it's, let's see what's happening all in the north of the country. for example, do you think it's a unique most be can problem or do you think it's a problem that many african countries have? many africans not more than we can almost most of the call, but there's some, some cancer we're trying to fight that. ok to turn, fight died, did they have taken that? they'd at least the financial education system in their own hands. but when we're not feeling that on that path, we're still we're still depending on the donors to finance education. and we've seen from year to year less and less capabilities and less and less knowledge of about what natalie local mosley can use through. but general universally history or if they have it's of course we know what is through to have them and me myself. i was, i was, it was, let's save a victim of that over that history because it was good at the history school,

but well, about the world history. it's all about western western history. actually the close powers have been gone for decades. so what just say actually suggests that they knock on, you still have the colonization of education and, and ultimately the colonization of ideas and the mind that so that's, it's colonialism ok is gone. but to help new colonialism, so it's still still very firm in the continent. that's, that's the battle for sovereignty. the many countries mean african cuz they're not not still fighting. it's still the through to depth and enter for them know, western with in finance for every program. ok. and of course, for example, in most be we have them in the local own revenue. so again, for the budget, i think they could to takes impressions of that sort of case you want help. let's

build road. let's build call the build the bridge. but education will be in on our own hands, but it's not happening. someone, someone, someone is, is pushing their agenda. and agenda is, where is it? where they think about to wipe this, this history because we see now again, students who don't know for example, what, what did what history and what geography did portrait. portugal teach to more than again, so during the colonial era. but it's 2 again, too late because the young generation need need to know that when did the school should supply that to teach, that was not, not government was because of the new colonialism. that's what's, what's going on right now. and again, there's a fight. we are leaving,

we're living in a time where the global global would say potentials and the global countries is the biggest concern of fighting for in your new world order. yeah, i think maybe we can have a chance, but 1st of all, think i'll move, come to like russia, china, brazil is should take this, this fight to the, to the right hand of this also, that african countries could, could, could jump from these european western western new colonialism to what, what, what has been called the world or new world world of justice. ok. so that's perfect. and much more lana is not alone. voice in most can be we call up with students and places to express the same point of view with the people here in

muslim be are learning. what's the international contest want to study is sometimes we don't learn about what moves them be. need at that moment, for example, we have so many young people need jobs here. but if you go into the school, we don't teach you to people who are to created on jobs. we have so many people, there are make some process some same because he needs a job, have a family, and it said 2 by 3 each year that the people to find my job node who created deals with communities to, to open one company for example. so that is the way, sometimes just a big problem for our content. so i think on our continent, those realities were destroyed, undermined by colonization look,

even though the the colonizers lift they, they didn't leave us to our own devices. they are still plundering the african maintenance and the continental reach with these sources. they're not going to just, you know, leave it as is. when i was in high school, i remember no more than a handful of instances when black people, african, or indigenous people were mentioned in my classroom, were, would spend a lot of time. i'm going through books from western cultures like to kill a mocking bird, but listens on a party day and the beginning and the consequences of a party to were not as long as some of those lessons for r t. r. no, lou, we couldn't get into harrisburg moving now to west africa, which was colonized by the french. the trend is much the same in between a foster,

the school curriculum and practices. austell structured to affirm french. well, he's culture values and language. the relationship between france and frank o for african countries, is slowly marked by the french language. we offer certain work in language in most of our with versions of these countries despise the independence, is given yearly in the sixty's, french appears to resist, to the will of because of my vision in francophone countries. i by the french language, is a tool of domination. but how are you going to commit? we already tread, we kind escaped like us and, and i me to escape. you have to fight to shade school. he can wake him companies to more. busy so you have to learn french to be able to express yourself. now, suppose we have to drop french, which language are we going to choose? this can then perhaps create some conflict between the different ethnic groups.

it's segregation. now the french language, if we have to leave it and start with other languages today, everything must be started from scratch. assuming that we may have chosen more, how many teachers to day understand more, to have to learn more before returning to teach? i really think it's complicated. in 1983, captain thomas sent kara form a presentable kin up fast, so who understood that the corner stone of the colonization was french launch massive programs for adult to learn how to write and read a local language. ease here. lim, the country name shifting from oat volta to book in a far so. a typically local language name, which means country of upright citizen. for him, this was the 1st step to get rid of the colon whizzer lulu

r t y. i hope this week so had given you something for thought. we have received overwhelmingly positive feedback. for previous episodes, you can catch us on various social media platforms and always feel free to come up with a line. a big shout out to all our followers on rumbled we really do take note of your coming and appreciate them until then from me and the team shall ah ah, talk about what issues just some good asked wolf do becomes the story. come up to

a 9 does not with a bit slow, i'll make them keep the local neutral teacher them yet with the same with ah, little worn ukraine is a proxy or it's a war against russia. it's a war where the expectation was that russia would collapse under the sheer weight of thousands of sanctions, not from the us, but from the e. u. and there was the expectation that the whole world would join it. and that the u. s. lost sight of their slipping power and really the great majority of the

population of the world did not go with the, with the tension.
