Take History for example, I happen to be one of those who appreciate the knowledge of African History so interesting and educative if you doubt that, try reading the myth of the First Muganda Kintu with wife Nambi and the two brothers Walumbe and Kayikuzi if still not contented you can try out Labong and Gipiri or Isaza and Nyinamwiru . For European History and other parts of the world I doubt my stand.
Many Ugandan, Kenyans and Tanzanians elite spent long periods studying in the UK. Is it that they doubt the African System of learning? For others who have no time chasing for visas for their child to UK at least choose the so called ‘first world schools” like Gayaza high aka GIZA, St peters S.S.S Nsambya,(SPENSA),St Mary’s collage (SMACK),St Mary’s High school Mbezi etc for their children to study in.
.With the existence of these many schools, the students and parents are able to make a choice of a suitable school or institution that they feel meets their needs. Therefore it becomes increasingly competitive as each school strives to produce the best of the best.
The question remains why then the rate of unemployment is still so high in East Africa despite stiff competition in the education system? It could be quite evident that surely there is a lot lacking especially in both secondary school and higher institutions of learning which conforms to the norm of more job seekers than job makers.
You will bear with me Formal education is very good, but in some instances it is overrated. There are certain skills you will never learn in school, unless you actually join the hustle of the “real world”. Perhaps science subjects as well would be an alternative but remember it’s not evident that anyone will find it user-friendly…..Where shall we end??? |
