When I return to South Sudan, I
would like to promote quality education that will enable the students to make
sense of their own learning and make my beloved mother land a better place to
live in. That is possible by reaching out to a thousand future leaders of South
Sudan through serving in the education sector at a higher institution level of
learning as well as in the grass root level. I would like to be a voice for the
voiceless especially the marginalized groups like girl child and women. Serving
in the education sector en-campuses a lot of activities right from involving in
the curriculum review, serving as a lecturer, teacher trainer, a mentor to
mention but a few.
I really
learned a lot of valuable lessons from all the courses I took from Indiana
University. In deed words cannot express it at all but my actions in the field
will speak better. Never the less I learned that education is the key to almost
all aspects of life. So in order to produce a quality work force, education
should be designed to meet the needs of the society. Secondly, I learned the
importance of teaching to learn not teaching to pass examination. Being a
teacher, I will make sure that I work collaboratively with my students to
support their learning as our professors did. This will involve the use of
various teaching strategies and activities that brings the real world to the
students in order to prepare them to face the real world in which they live
in. I believe that together we stand and
make South Sudan a better place.
Akwero, I am so interested and agree with you that, learning for passing examination is pulling us backward in south Sudan. As teachers, it's our task to go and polish out this idea from our educational system in South Sudan. we should train our students how to understand what is be taught and relate to their daily life. therefore we have to think for ways of changing this.
ReplyDeletel like the fact that you said, you will serve both in higher institution level and grass root level thats encouranging because it shows how you have a vision for everyone to learn. All your ideas will work but be prepared for the challenges ahead and keep up the good spirit.

ReplyDeleteThis is impressive, education is the key to success, which we really have to improve from the grass roots, because that is the foundation to ensure every citizen gets access to education in a country, to fight illiteracy, poverty and crime rate in a country by promotion of quality education. I seriously support your stand to be voice to the voiceless and empowerment of women and girls, because we are the right people who know what female are going through, so we have to help them improve their standards of life.
ReplyDeleteThese are such powerful ideas. I thing the notion of teaching to learn, not just to pass examinations is so huge (not only for South Sudan, but for any country - it is something I've struggled with as well!)
ReplyDeleteAkwero, I agree with your idea to work collaboratively with your students, sure our students need more attention in order to run the learning effectively, but in some situation that we have, it will be hard for us to engage with them hand by hand.
