@JessicaMU511 @ChrisCconway5 "If you build it, they will come" - unfortunately additional policies, initiatives, and funding will be required to support access to these buildings. Perhaps the invest smartly with what they have before making additional mistakes #fixwhatsbroken

@hellosunshineDT This article discusses the Basic Education Act 2004 to address most of the issues in the article and can be related back to Gandi's Basic Education 1937 (Gutek, 2006) #511mu #historyrepeating

@hellosunshineDT This exists in other multicultural/multilingual countries where a standard needs established & one side or other is focused on preserving their history/language. English tends to be the mediator language. #511mu #itworksforsome #butisitright

@hellosunshineDT Both have a federal/state infrastructure but deploy on a bottom-up vs downward progression. It seems the downward progression never gets to the primary level. #511mu #inconsistency #noaccountability

[Sondra Reed @sreed23]

@hellosunshineDT W/ high dropout rates in primary school, prudence to invest in education & opportunities that support these areas & keep children in school. Poverty rate = ag priority for families. No family planning as it would violate their religious beliefs & traditions. #511mu

@hellosunshineDT Truly enjoyed his analogy of the confiscated outdated cell phone to learning based on memorization and not understanding. #511mu #createthinkers #evolutionofanidian

@hellosunshineDT When looking at the country from North to South, the same is true as well and you could include Nigeria in this comparison. North (east and west) of these countries typically fair worse than their southern counterparts. #511mu

[Sondra Reed @sreed23]

@hellosunshineDT Perhaps their competitiveness in a global economy is what drives this downward effect thus never addressing the root issues in education & certainly not human-centered. #511mu #evaluatepriorities

@hellosunshineDT Great youtube share! It is evident that their goals in education are not meeting the needs of their country. Especially defining is the fact that they rank 60th in engineering. They also lack autonomy, something creativity is rooted in. #511mu #selfsolution

[Sondra Reed @sreed23]

@hellosunshineDT What a wonderful experience! I had thought that Biratnagar was high in education & major source. Do you think their cultural beliefs & traditions was a major contributing factor to their high level of self-regulation? #511mu #learningstartsathome

[Sondra Reed @sreed23]

@hellosunshineDT Interesting to compare India's modernization strategy of top-down to Nigeria's bottom-down considering they share similar education issues across the board, including female illiteracy rates due to lack of education. #511mu #differentbutsame

Nigeria’s Islamic Education is composed of faith & education known as Informal Ed & has 3 stages: early childhood/nursery (Makarantan Yara), elementary (tittibiri), and Adult Education #511mu #religionanded #Qur’an https://t.co/3FuAOfMn1R

[Sondra Reed @sreed23]

Nigeria faces severe punishment by Islamic terrorists skewed Islamic views because women are permitted education. Other factors that Nigerian women face are poverty and arranged marriages at a young age where education is then considered a waste. #511mu #educatedwomenprogression

[Sondra Reed @sreed23]

Female literacy in India slightly above 60% due to the patriarchal setting, lower status, and fewer privileges than male. #511mu #equaleducation #SaaksharBharatMissionforFemaleLiteracy #genderdiscrimination #sexualharassment

India education requires students to be multilingual in learning native language, non-native language, and English (Gutek, 2006). #511mu #communicationacrossworlds

India Prim School dropout rate 6.50 (Females = 6.92 Males = 6.07) due to poverty, availability, & accessibility. These rates have been declining since 2010-11. #511mu #educationtowages https://t.co/VSIb0GGuKA

[Sondra Reed @sreed23]

Nigerian prim. School attendance facts: majority regions – less than half primary school-aged children attend, Dropout rate is highest in grade 6 (12%), steady decrease in prim school completion rate #511mu #educationbroken https://t.co/ZfzZMVaydo

Compulsory ed. begins at 6 yo in both Nigeria and India. Compulsory ed is 9 yrs. 3 yrs less than the US #511mu #moreyearstoinvestfored https://t.co/zPUaSECcEG

Cost of living in Nigeria significantly higher than India. Yet the salary comparison is opposite. #511mu #wagesneededtoliveinnigeria #ineqaulityinwages https://t.co/mCYqwaAxSr

India Teacher Salary: INR 59,516 – INR 268,584 (based on education or experience) = 934.40 USD – 4216.77 USD, H.S. INR66K -447,399 = 1036.20 USD – 7024.16 USD #511mu #fairwagesindia https://t.co/NJNcGZX8EQ
