6:31 pm
so what do we have for you today. takes us to tanzania needed 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 flats of cape town schoolteacher. uses music and downs to counter violence. in the gambia roughs against political injustice. as you can tell it's definitely part show so let's get to our 1st report in a while one of our largest cities what 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
6:32 pm
let's find out what. one of the big. about how awful fits 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 just had where they also have to deal with that 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
6:33 pm
will get a degree but what is that really worth 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 just open his own solemn and studies marketing and business at a private university or see go back 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 we study
6:34 pm
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 test studies every month like more than $7000.00 students and one will attend private universities yes but asians 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 through this deeply flawed system. the government should take advantage of these young 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. now talking about career i have always wanted to be
6:35 pm
a broadcast journalist so it's good to be doing it now but for some stuff on the career of your dreams isn't so easy now that come on iraq's young people in tanzania about the our 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 afraid that their rejection well so you are now when you need those do you not knowing if this education is going to be if it will help me i don't know what it
6:36 pm
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 are ok 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 won't you supplied by the schools is not what is demanded by them probably yes they're written document very thin curriculum has a huge misalignment all miss much we think 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 relations advertising you go then then you're put as a customer so when. us 2 months without actually gaining something that you went there for and that is your current so you do it for the 1st and 2nd day and then
6:37 pm
when you finish you actually come to realize that what you have gained and what you need in your practical training is actually not i think leon took from this and let me speak to some people i haven't spoken to all come back to the country right now is under stress of technology because we're in the 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 the electronics that taught you something that you don't see practical you see 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
6:38 pm
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 out that 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 the seal of the eighty's 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
6:39 pm
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 electorate has had to mark more than 2000 papers and some of them they really have to work day and night to ensure this true 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 you 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're out there the 1st in your toe tease how to
6:40 pm
teach yourself because i remember i had 1st assignment and i had to present in front of the class and. due to their 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 it. you know. when you're in schools you're only taught about 20 percent of the risk you need to teach yourself because in reality you're not going to have your professor with you and. so that was actually like something that he had learned opened up my eyes and since then i have been learning everything by myself all right let's hear from leander 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
6:41 pm
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 of him he was talking about earlier i have to say this and talk of a solution 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 i'm this person has a different mindset they have teamwork those are the things that starts to
6:42 pm
differentiate 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 resulting from all of these young people the 1st thing that needs to happen to improve the quality of education. it's for the students themselves to figure out why the 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 our 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
6:43 pm
a pretty bad reputation when it comes to balance crime making the headlines the most recent crime statistics from the police service review an overall increase in crime over $21000.00 met that cases 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 frowns for miller from bishop navy school came up with a unique way to keep their hate and violence after a. break down the dominance of all teacher and if you sit down in this interview i speak i know it will have some sort of a way with a take in my lessons and teach me i keep my peers on the ground i look at what interests me what translates to and then i try to catch 22 embassies covered with leaking coffee and then i go do research on 2 things that are in line with the
6:44 pm
content and it can spy of them. they do face a lot of challenges in their households we talk about poverty we talk but gangsterism and all other social ills within the community but i've seen a different type of child that has been stigmatized for what people seem as and for and i always tell them i'm more than what i'm being seen within the society itself is very nice and innovative and supports us alert and helps us when we're going to difficult times the system that has been pulled and so in the math and science is killed the creativity of the children still be that missing a limb is really holding something good sound like dancing in the sky. to
6:45 pm
see. you need. to leave. town. to meet the man who did the exact issue is listening. i was in the radio one morning and this song came up a song just 1st a ping from. some points you can be seen with confidence and in the project so the net for. this can actually be. quite a powerful thing to inspire and that is and will take my place and posted it on the facebook video. 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
6:46 pm
not immune to the challenges and i feel somehow i can contribute to a positive change you know. i. don't know about you but i want to be in that class without an obvious fear on the teacher like him i would study hard and definitely pass all my exams so this is a challenge to all of you teachers i'll bet 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 with me is proving that one man's trash is another man's building material. in. the last big different place to do. its ocean cleanup day here in lamo canyon the
6:47 pm
children might have led a game out of it but islam ali this is more of a personal conservation mission. we do their cleaning if you've been pretty good you have to go through everything right every friday it's nice to get it when they are you know moneys that. game we're doing here i know. but it goes a long way you know and while they are on the future i am sorry 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 frames for people to dump their trash and there's no garbage collection center with the trash piling up people have to take marches into their own hands collection and recycling initiatives like almost helped to plug the gap. years ago the extent of pollution really. want to be bored by this
6:48 pm
but one time to board. him. you will. see everywhere there was. you know and there was a lot of there was no doing anything. maybe a good idea. i would be you know. but it doesn't just collect the bottles he used them to build another school. this is the school now. but lamo is a conservative island in some locals were not happy when open to the school was of . course. everything but
6:49 pm
my. the whisky and the wine used to get. the community important. and with a little time the locals accepted that this is one way i called but was really do not belong in schools. and 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 their environment domicile. almost cool these youngsters i'm learning vital lessons not only in the classroom but out in the open and where the ocean needs their help. whatever inspiring project hopefully the politicians in the gambia will also be inspired by. in our next segment it's been about 2 years since the governments
6:50 pm
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 think many of them to see. elsewhere. why. what bush may be enough is enough the only one state to get the wave. of power with which. he seems to forget with the 77 percent of the national budget you want to get our legal expert to take the budget out of this list you can see the trap struggling to get out of this little much. place the whole nation no opportunities to crab and expect us to hold tight i don't know blame it on the guys that supposed surprise when they drive for prices pretty high we can't even afford to survive all over it and over this system has killed the supply don't shoot because this is the chip in the pot too many promises made after they forgot oh i hope you pilot this
6:51 pm
just that it will define the supply oh they will see to give up all that wilfrid no good education no good no kids since intimidation of christians to say ok security sector reforms have easy food recall no participate in the different forms they'd love to see just if i did to be so misinformed so there will be complete silence above the pacific forced to speak on the whistles more that the systems go on think what the country don't participate in politics cause me to feel secure tie you to the car the fix something to tell you the promise is in the future your city filled this with a positive one to country to participate to. cause the sick and tired of the party . the pharmacist and the future see if go to $600.00. b.c. in cannot even now sure read you london from now on i'll still wasn't. now we're
