time. in 45 minutes on t.w. . every journey begins with the 1st step and every language with the 1st word pushed in the book. rico is in germany to learn german and why not come with him it's simple online on your mobile and free to set d w z e learning course nikos fake german made easy. oh i'm already on sorry guys i was in the middle of the 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. 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 uses music and dance 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

let's find out what. one bill one of the big. about how forfeits residents are under 15 years old they need universities. and schools but the education system isn't that dusty the problems already start at primary school. we have 2680 pupils that's a lot but we only have 15 classrooms lots of futile they have just had way they also have to deal with the things 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 will get

a degree but what is that really worth if really equality 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 her own hands she has opened her own solomon and studies marketing and business at a private university 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 businesswoman she wants to expand head business and open more salads 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. study materials on top of that we're talking $50000.00 quantas

a month and walla. materials and books are expensive and particularly hard to come by in the province of the. $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 expectations 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 a. 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 careers i have always wanted to be a broadcast journalist so it's good to be doing it now but for some start in the

career of your dreams isn't so easy that 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 this that is seeing is that we have this fear for no studying in years you know that when you go out there very well so you are now in university not knowing if this education. it 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 your work i'd like to hear from this gentleman at 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 will miss much 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 that have a tasing you go then then you're put as a customer so when you was 2 months without actually gaining something that you went there for and that is your current so if you do it for the 1st and be explicit

candy 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 information 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 taught you something that you don't see practical you see your daughter's in class and he's very theoretical but when you go to the extent of your. 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 out of school and you find out that this is all i think that i want to do and education has to be diversified because not only formal education is going to work we're 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 t.'s so we have a number of we not we have a number for a student but we have a lot of students but the resources are the same so how do you dispute the source of the puzzle 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 but 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 letters had to mark more than 2000 papers and some of them they really have to work day and night to ensure the strong 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 for 3 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 after 6 months to new york so how does that work when you know of. they're the 1st thing you're told t's how to 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 main structure that oh you know we haven't learned this and then look 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 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 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

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 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 are participants raised at our street debate but share your 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 his review and overall increase in crime over 21000 met that cases were reported in the past year that's an average of $58.00 people a day. so how do you cope if you have to grow up in such an unsafe environment while teacher frons familiar from bishop mavis school came up with a unique way to keep the heat and violence at bay a. breakdown of dominance all teacher and if you sit down to listen to me i speak on the record i have some sort of the way with a stake in my listings and teach me i keep my peers on the ground i look at what interests me what fascinates them and then i try to catch on to them it's covered in the particular topics and then i go do research on 2 things that are in line

with the content and conspire they're. there to 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 see this as and for and i always tell them i'm more than what i'm being seeing. 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 only math and science skills the creativity of the children still be there and i certainly ellen is really holding something good sound like dancing in the sky.

to see her you want. to sleep. soundly. you need. to do the exact issue is listening. i was in the radio one morning and this song came out a song it refers of being from boy to somebody else you can be seen with confidence at the end of the day so the next thought was. this can actually be. quite a powerful thing it's finding that this ending will take my place and posted it on the face with the 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 not immune to the challenges and i feel somehow i can contribute to a positive change with you know. i. don't know about you but i want to be in that class with such an obvious fear on the teacher like him i would study hard and definitely but also 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 reports we're visiting another school in lamu kenya. national school here for me is proving that one man's trash is another man's building material. in. different places plastic different place to deal. it's ocean cleanup day here in lamo canyon the 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 do everything right every friday it's nice to get it when they are you know moneys that. game we're doing here you know. body goes a long way you know and submitted to. the future i just saw 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 and. there are no public dustbins for people to dump their trash and there's no garbage collection center with the trash piling up people have high tech marches into their own hands collection and recycling initiatives like almost helped to plug the gap. and 80 years ago the extent of pollution really. want to be bored by

this or so ago but one time the board. you know. when i came to board was bad bad bad. everywhere and there was kids around you know and there was a lot of i want to bring in if you know maybe a good idea this you. can you know i really be you know. but doesn't just collect the bottles he used them to build another risk pool. this is the school now. but lamo is a conservative island in some locals were not happy when opened to the school is of . course. everything but

my. the whisky and the wine used to getting the book was. important. and with a little time the locals accepted that this is one way and called but was really do not belong in school. 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 feel kids having a chance to study and besides studying they also learn about their environment domicile. at almost school these youngsters i'm learning by 2 lessons not only in the classroom but out in the open and when 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

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 government. what do you mean it is enough the only one state take it away because the cost. of power made us seem to forget with the 77 percent of the national budget only one percent we get our league expected to get out of this 1st year we see the french struggling to get out of this little much. but still no opportunities to crab but expect to still hold tight on new plymouth on the rise and supposed surprise when they try for prices going to be higher we can't even afford to survive all over it and put the system has built the supply to shoot because there's no chip in the pot too many promises made after they forgot oh i

hope the pilot does just that it will define the spot on they will see details about how it will fit no good education no good kids see it imitation of christian to say ok security sector reforms have easy feel free to not participate but in the different forms they'd love to see just if i didn't be so misinformed we can be silent above the pacific coast be going the whistles for the system school think what the country don't participate in politics cause to feel secure titles of politics to feel secure tell you the congress is in the future see if the field is to think positive to point the country to participate in politics because they feel secure tied to the photonics something the common says in the future go to 600. b.c. into a lot easier now sure read you learned from now on i'll still wasn't. now we're staying
