We are pleased to announce the official launch of Africa Educates Her Campaign - Angola

Africa Educates Her Campaign is officially launched. Phase 2, day 7

Yesterday Dr Muhama Ouedraogo, the Director of the African Union HRST has officially launched the African Union/Centrefor Girls & Women’s Education In Africa campaign to get girls back to School, Africa Educates Her Campaign and Call for Creative Content on the learning experiences of the girl child and initiatives being taken to help girls get back to school in communities across Africa!

The COVID-19 pandemic is distressing the world’s stability and its economy. Angola is currently facing a study crisis similar to what several others are facing; which is not only impacting people's habits but also their ways of relating to one another. We are joining the AUCIEFFA to develop solutions to minimise the damage already caused by the pandemic and combining efforts to mitigate the current situation; which is by far the worst crisis of the 21st century.

Our today's guest is Miss Eulália Pereira, she is a Lecturer from Catholic University of Angola.

She states that, like other societies, Angola was not exempt from the economic and social impacts caused by Covid 19, the paralysis of classes showed that the Angolan education system was not prepared for non-classroom classes because there is a lot of difficulty in accessing the Internet and computer equipment on the part of many students and teachers. As a result of this students were left without classes and many teachers in the private sector were left without wages for the support of their families because the government is not giving any financial to private institutions.

According to her, teachers in this time of confinement should be empowered with new ways of teaching adapting to the new reality. Furthermore, the Ministry of Education should create and verify the conditions of Bio-safety in all schools before returning to classes and should also promote distance learning by creating technological conditions for it.
