Education for all Children in Zimbabwe

Sun, 18 Jan 2009 19:10:13 +0000

Education should be our top priority worldwide. About the session:Preface: Virtual Learning and the developing world: pros and cons-what is the bottom line, what are the determinants of virtual learning success in Africa, key success factors and the measuring of success? Broader socio-political and economic implications of virtual education in Africa-the role of Western and Eastern democracy models in virtual education.Introduction to Zimbabwe: We shall be covering various issues relating to background to the literacy campaigns prior to disastrous management practices in the broader economy, availability of infrastructure for virtual learning, politics and education, virtual reality in the liberation of the global classroom, national politics and national education, economics of village learning centres, literacy levels and tolerance of society to educational campaigns (Presidential computerization programme), role of international relations and broader political decisions in the short and long term as determinants of success-such as the targeted sanctions, south-south co-operation, commonwealth relations, economics of running such a centre-who funds and who benefits? The roles of the Western and Eastern nations in the emancipation and priming of local communities for globalization through virtual learning. The politics of language.Proposals and broader approach: Consider the key success factors and implementation in specific consideration of the PEST factors as potential impediments. Picking up the pieces and developing the model.Implementation strategy: intervention point, avoiding the pitfalls of political haggling, getting political buy-in, implementation from within the system and the challenges thereof Measuring the results and reaping the fruits: how and when will we know that we have struck gold?Conclusion: virtual learning as a cement for the developing world and as a tool for democratic reforms (in Africa, everything has a political connotation and until such a point when politics is divorced from human development initiatives and activities, Africa shall continue to be a slave unto herself).Proposal for further research: Transforming Africa’s child soldiers to virtual soldiers (from living through the barrel to living through the internet). The best approach for this could be a series of lectures individually or jointly presented in order for the point to be driven home to the target audiences.A single one hour session may not be enough.My proposal is therefore a series of lectures to develop a Virtual Learning Model for my country, which will serve as a prototype for many other countries, and it must terminate in a project for which funds can actually be sought for implementation in an appropriate country.
