How can educational policies in Africa go beyond the walls to reach girls like Charity? #IsAfricaRising

[ASC @ASC_Groningen]

For whom is #education in #Africa? #IsAfricaRising #Feminism #AfricanFeminism

[ASC @ASC_Groningen]

#education policy does not necessarily match the actual lives of people #IsAfricaRising #AfricanFeminism #FemaleEducation

[ASC @ASC_Groningen]

#educationpolicy do not always focus on the people they intend to serve #IsAfricaRising #AfricanFemales #FemaleEducation #Feminism

[ASC @ASC_Groningen]

#EducationPolicies have an ad hoc nature in them #IsAfricaRising

[ASC @ASC_Groningen]

#EducationPolies though well intended are externally funded. Giving outsiders a great influence in domestic matters #IsAfricaRising

[ASC @ASC_Groningen]

Budget constraints present themselves also as a challenge to quality primary education #IsAfricaRising

[ASC @ASC_Groningen]

Another challenge is competing priorities and lack of qualified personnel #IsAfricaRising #FemaleEducation

[ASC @ASC_Groningen]

What are the challenges? Policy discrepancies with actual lives. Policy's are influenced by external actors #IsAfricaRising

Hogerzeil: Collaboration is very important but that does not necessarily have to mean charity #IsAfricaRising

[ASC @ASC_Groningen]

Hogerzeil: Are human rights transcend national boarders? This is a question that needs to be addressed #IsAfricaRising

[ASC @ASC_Groningen]

Hogerzeil: Charity isn't a good long term approach. Human rights are more effective #IsAfricaRising

[ASC @ASC_Groningen]

Van der Werf: writing proposals even in Europe is very competitive. Especially in the area of neglected diseases #IsAfricaRising

[ASC @ASC_Groningen]

Research from African universities from African scholars have to involve Europeans to stand a chance of success?

[ASC @ASC_Groningen]

The donors should donate without ulterior motives and should put aside any sense of superiority #IsAfricaRising
