surviving. in 45 minutes on. the last census of cranes or need to keep a day about the people vote for over a mansion on the 4th and clear the full disclosure assuming that the claim works well at least the bottom of the valley that the last dragon is worth has called the home to 3 years and. 3 books on. oh i'm already on sorry guys i was in the middle of a really interesting chapter you know i always try to learn new things now that brings us to today's show which is all about school education and the importance of learning welcome to the 77 percent of the show that gives a voice to africa's you i'm your host eddie michael jr.

so what do we have for you today on the. beat takes us to tanzania you get the money finds out how well prepared young graduates are for the future careers and what chances they have on the job market. and this is so cool in the notoriously floods of cape town school teacher for around $5000000.00 uses the music and downs to counter heat and violence. in the gambia roughs against political. as you can tell it's definitely show so let's get to affairs report in a while one of angola's largest cities most schools and universities are struggling with the lack of resources there aren't enough teachers classrooms or even teaching materials but many young people want to study so what does this mean for the future let's find out what. one of the biggest cities.

about how forfeits residents are under 15 years old they need universities vocational training and schools but the education system isn't that dusty the problems already start at primary school. we have $2680.00 pupils that's a lot but we only have 15 classrooms lots of futile have to. where they also have to deal with the dust and noisy traffic. this does not meet education standards. low standards high tuition fees and expensive study materials are all big issues and it's even worse in the higher education sector one currently has 10000 university students and that number is on the rise many of them will get a degree but what is that really worth if your quality of university education

hasn't improved that means a lot of students have degrees but that's really worth anything at all they're just pieces of paper that's a big problem. so ed not dos santos has decided to take a destiny into own hands open his own salon and studies marketing and business at a private university one single bank and the money that i earn here in my beauty salon i can pay my tuition fees and make a living on his business because. the young woman always dreamt of becoming a successful business woman she wants to expand head business and open more solid but the path to success is still full of challenges. nothing new. mission fees alone set me back 29000 kwanzaa month but if i see. if i study materials on top of that we're talking $50000.00 quantas

a month or so materials and books are expensive and particularly hard to come by in a womble province. $50000.00 pounds us that's about $93.00 euros which goes towards their studies every month like edna more than $7000.00 students and one will attend private universities the answer tensions are high by young people in angola can't rely on the state to provide them with a stable future many of them will need to find out on wayne deeply flawed system. the government should take advantage of these young eager minds and invest more in the education sector education should be more accessible and affordable so that young people have a bright future ahead of them. well talking about careers i have always wanted to be a broadcast journalist so it's good to be doing it now but for some start on the career

of your dreams isn't so easy now that come on iraq's young people in tanzania about the experiences. in the year 2016 that then deputy director for employment joseph nona made an admission that left many people shocked he said that 80 percent of the tons of me and workforce is unemployed and we're curious is it because of the quality of education or just the way the marketplace is set up well we're here at the university of jerusalem to try and get to the bottom of that i'd like to hear from some of the university students who are at the back do you think that what you're being taught in your classrooms is preparing you the saddest thing is that we have this fear from known you're studying in years you know that when you go out there the very jack shit well so you are now we need to not knowing if this education is going to be if you will help me i don't know what it taught in schools what we see

in schools is exactly you friend from what you find you know society so when you go out of there you find deny you look i'd like to hear from this gentleman of the back who wants to contribute let me go deeper into the root cause of the problem what is supplied by the schools is not what is demanded by them probably yes they're written document very thin curriculum has a huge misalignment or mismatch with actually what is outside the classroom what the employers need a person the qualifications of the person is not taught in the classroom ok let's hear from some people we haven't heard from what happens mostly is you don't actually go to practice what you have studied in school so i you my new public relation advertising you go then then you're put as a customer care so when. us 2 months without actually gaining something that you went there for and that is your current so you did for the 1st and realistic idea

and then when you finish you actually come to realize that what you have gained and what you need in your practical training is actually not what the employer wants from this and let me speak to some people i haven't spoken to all come back to you know the country right now is under stress of technology because we have a 2nd industrial revolution which is more ok for this country but this country we are the 2nd because we are in the electricity formation and mechanical reformation but the whole world is in the 4th which is about the artificial intelligence about robotics you see now we are lacking that consistency with the external world because of our system right now ok so can you give me some practical examples that you've experienced in your learning which you feel already give you a step back electronics or taught you something that you don't see practical you see you're taught in class and he's very theoretical but when you go to the field you don't see nothing like that so that is a show that was a shock for me because i learned something like electronics in class but i went to

the field and it was nothing like that all right and what does this pressure do because now we're talking about people who've worked so hard to get degrees and then they realize maybe they're not so relevant what does that mean for the future sometime you'll find a kid goes to school just because the parents say that oh if you go to that cause you're going to get money and then at the end of it all you're out of school and you find this is going to feel that i want to do an education has to be diversified because not only formal education is going to work in the 4th industrial revolution right now it's coming and it's coming very fast so we i mean like in the country are we prepared we have to know that the population always keep on growing but the system of question is still at the ts so we have a number of we not we have a number of students but we have a lot of students but the resources are the same so how do you dispute this was the . apostles' that's come the issue of unemployment so we've just heard something that has been added into the discussion 1st of all we had that the curriculum is

mismatched to the skills that are required in the market but now we're hearing that the classrooms are going to get inevitably bigger as the population grows how does that affect quality of delivery we have fewer lecturers and so minister wouldn't i remember some of the illiterates had to mark more than 2000 papers and some of them they really have to work day and night to ensure they strode into learning because there is a difference between attending classes and being really learning the only challenge we are facing right now is when these students are graduating and they see them on the street they are looking for a job 23 years after their graduation all right i also want to pose the question of how this educational system in tanzania compares to global ones i know for example that you went to university right here and then proceeded up to 6 months to new york so how does that work when you are there the 1st thing your toe teaches how to teach yourself because i remember i had 1st assignment and i had to present in

front of the class and. due to the due to one topic that we didn't learn i told that i told my my instructor that oh you know we haven't learned this and they know it and that. you know. when you're in schools you're only taught about 20 percent there is you need to teach yourself because in reality you're not going to have your professor with you. so that was actually like something that hit my head and opened up my eyes and since then i have been learning everything by myself all right let's hear from leandro and then of glad like to hear from you please apart from that i think we need to go back this country i mean i mean i'm a person i employ other people as well apart from having another job their work ethics i see people who come their work ethics we have a problem with work ethics i mean even like to 2 days ago a friend of mine was in hospital and a doctor was attending her and she was listening to music you know listening to

music while you're supposed to you know we have a very poor work ethic sometimes and do you think that comes from right from education being forced to do something you're not really interested in people complaining a lot but then people need to be self-motivated something is wrong somewhere we need to introduce i think these are the skills that i met he was talking about earlier i have to say this and talk of a station is making me a bit sad because we're hearing over and over again people saying don't depend on the degree forget about having a job create the space for yourself ok lilian i'm interested to hear from you i need you to be. take charge of their own employers will be looking at the end of the day you have one position and i have more than $200.00 applications to go through for that one position what starts to differentiate you have you volunteered where you at your student government body did you do so those are the things now are starting to put your k. i'll put this person in this bucket and this person has a different mindset they have teamwork those are the things that starts to differentiate us at the end of the day we can talk about all the challenges that

are facing us and our insurmountable but we have to do something about it all right while we've had a very intense conversation here interest and the answer has been resolved and from all of these young people the 1st thing that needs to happen to improve the quality of education. as for the students themselves to figure out why they even want this education my name is edith kimani thank you for watching. so learn how to learn stay active and above all do not give up hope those were just some of the ideas are participants raised at our street debate but show thoughts with us tell us about education in your country would be great to hear from you also check out the long version of the debate on you tube and join the discussion now come with me to south africa the cape flats in cape town have a pretty bad reputation when it comes to violent crime making the headlines the

most recent crime statistics from the police that is review and overall increase in crime over $21000.00 medications were reported in the past year that's an average of 58 people a day. so how do you cope if you have to grow up in such an unsafe environment while teacher franz familiar from bishop neva school came up with a unique way to keep the hate and violence at bay a. breakdown of the dominance of all teachers and if you sit down to this interview i speak i know it will have some sort of the way with take in my lessons and teach me i keep my peers on the ground i look at what interests me what fascinates them and then i try to get 20 members covered in the critical topics and then i go do research on 2 things that are in line with the content and conspire that.

they do face a lot of challenges in their households we talk about poverty we talk but can't stress them and all other social ills within the community but i've seen a different type of child that has been stigmatized for what people see this as and for and i always tell them i'm more than what i'm being seen. within the society itself. he's living nicely and supports us a lot and helps us when we are going through difficult times the system that has been polled and sodium and scientists killed the creativity of the children and still i believe it misses me ellen is really holding something good. daunting and this could almost feel as if it was you feeling you want you to feel if

you feel the need. to write it down to be exactly as it should be to me it's as if. he's living nicely and supports us a lot and helps us when we are going through difficult times the system has been polled and so and scientists killed the creativity of the children still to be that misses me ellen is really holding something good. daunting and this can all feel. it was you feel it you want you to really feel oh nice. to meet her and you just let you get used to it it doesn't make me. feel. weak because. i was there

in the radio one morning and this song came up a song just 1st ripping from boy to some points you can be seen with confidence at the end of the day so the night for. this can actually be. quite a powerful thing to inspire and relentless and incorporate my fears and posted it on the facebook the video went viral i think the most thing that i like about my job is the fact that i can influence someone positively i know what. these children are going through i'm not immune to the challenges and i feel somehow i can contribute to a positive change you know. and i don't know about you but i want to be in that class without an atmosphere on the teacher like him out study hard and definitely pass all my exams so this is

a challenge to all of you teachers out there find a way to engage students to get the best out of them that is very important now moving on to our next report we are visiting another school in lamu kenya. national school here for me is proving that one man's trash is another man's building material. plastic studio. it's ocean cleanup day here in lamo kenya the children might have made a game out of it but islam ali this is more of a personal conservation mission. isn't being pretty good every friday every friday it's nice to get it when you know money is back again we're doing here you know. but it goes a long way you know. on this. idea that he told us we can

go to the beach after collecting trash. i collected 4 bottles. and. like many african countries kenya is grappling with thank god there are no public dust frames for people to dump their trash and there's no garbage collection center with the trash piling up people have had to take marches into their own hands collection and recycling initiatives like almost helped to plan for gas. 80 years ago the extent of pollution really heat for all my. want to be bored by this but one time to board. but when i came to board. everywhere there was people around you know and there was a lot of there was no doing anything. maybe

a good idea what i've written this you. need to be you know. how you started. but doesn't just collect the bottles he used them to build another school. this is the school now. but lamo is a conservative island and some locals were not happy when opened to the school is of. course. everything but. the whisky and the wine used to getting the book for the community important. and with a little time the locals accepted that this is one way and called but was really do not belong in schools. my child's name is run and

he joined the school is here with his 1st time at school i feel good when i see kids having a chance to study and besides studying they also learn about the environment. at almost school these youngsters are learning vital lessons not only in the classroom but out in the open and where the ocean needs their help. what are inspiring projects hopefully the politicians in the gambia will also be inspired by. in our next segment it's been about 2 years since the governments there underwent radical overhaul but not much has changed in the small west african country. puts the blame squarely on the politicians the unemployment rate among young people is huge from saying many of them to see. elsewhere. why government. but bush may think enough is enough they the only ones they each take

in the way bills for us to. power which. they seem to forget with the 77 percent from the national budget you want to get our league expect to take the budget out of this post you will see the trap struggling to get out of this little much. the whole night no opportunities to crab an expected to hold our new plymouth on the rise it's because surprise when they try for prices to be higher we can't even afford to survive all over it and over the system has built this of that notion because there's no chip in the pot too many promises made after the idea they forgot oh i hope your pilot is just that if you define this problem they will see to kids up all that will fit good education no good kids see that imitation of christian snow cave security sector reform savvy feel good record not participate in the fall they'd love to see just if i did the be so misinformed camps that is

above the pacific forced to be gone the us was forced into the system school think one of the country don't participate in politics because to feel secure tie you to the part of the tricks to forcing your time is a promise is in the future see the field a specific positive point of the country don't participate or politics because to some sick and tired of the cause of. the things i did the pharmacist and the furious didn't go to 600. b.c. until lattes are now sure read you money from now on i'll still wasn't. now we're still in west africa and meeting another artist. the pitts there hustle and bustle of his hometown ouagadougou and his paintings let's discover what else the capital of book enough are saw us to offer you my friend said my name is. i am a bookie nobby artist and i welcome to booking office only in its capital like i do
