WAYS EDUCATION POWERS A BETTER WORLD

The classic definition of education is ”the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or university”. But education is much more than that. It is a process of continuous learning which can be acquired anywhere at any time and any age. It is the fundamental right of every citizen because it promotes empowerment and ensures development benefits. Education can be used for the upliftment of society since it helps elevate the social and economic conditions in the marginalized sections of society.

Education makes us better citizens by teaching us how to conduct ourselves through life by following rules and regulations and giving us a sense of conscience. It make us more confident to go out there and achieve things. Many governments across the world have recognized the importance of education as a tool to enhance progress and make the world a better place. Let us see how it achieves that:

1. Education spreads awareness

Blind faith and superstitions are what bog down society. People misled by false beliefs do more harm than good to society. Education helps us question, gives us an analytical mind and helps us reject superstitions. An educated mind asks for logic and scientific reasoning behind all actions.

2. It helps us stand up against wrong and for the right

Education helps lower crime rate. That’s because the educated can differentiate between what’s right and what’s wrong. Research has shown that increasing the high school completion rate by just 1 percent for all men ages 20-60 would save the U.S. up to $1.4 billion per year in reduced costs from crime. This is true for other regions as well.

3. It helps progress

Better education opens up a host of opportunities and this is especially relevant in the times we live in where technology and education ensure that opportunities are not bound by geography.

4. It gives us a healthier lifestyle

Better educated people tend to live longer and have better lifestyles. For example research conducted in central European OECD countries have shown that a 30-year-old tertiary-educated man can expect to live eight years longer than a 30-year-old man who has not completed upper secondary education. While a tertiary-educated woman can expect to live four years longer than a woman without an upper secondary education.

5. Helps us to be more productive

It is a fact well known that the more degrees you have, better would be your economic performance. There is a deep connection between education and productivity and in this age where there is competition at every turn, education is what will help an industry and subsequently a nation, to flourish.

6. It helps us connect across borders

Digital education has helped achieve this. Education has given students from across borders opportunities to connect and communicate and work towards building a better future and a better world. For example, a professor in America can help inspire a student in Afghanistan to study and travel the world, help herself and a whole generation after her, to lead a better life.

7. It gives empowerment

Education helps turn weakness into strength. Education gives us the confidence to stand for ourselves. It improves our decision making capabilities, makes us mobile and gives us access to social networks. Many researches have proven that in countries where women are subjected to gender bias, education helped them stand up against marital violence, improved their decision making capabilities and helped them take charge of their own lives.

WHERE TO FIND ADULT EDUCATION IN LAGOS?

Adult education is a practice where adults engage in systematic and sustained self-educating activities in order to gain new forms of knowledge, skills, attitudes, or values. These refers to any form of learning adults engage in beyond traditional schooling, encompassing basic literacy to personal fulfillment as a lifelong learner.

Adult education can either be formal (structured learning that typically takes place in an education or training institution, usually with a set curriculum and carries credentials; non-formal (learning that is organized by educational institutions but non credential which may be provided in the workplace and through the activities of civil society organizations and groups), and Informal education (Learning that goes on all the time, resulting from daily life activities related to work, family, community or leisure).

“There is no end to education. ...

Adult education is still in Gbagada, Lagos.

76 Million Nigerian Adults Are Illiterates ― FG

The Federal Government on Tuesday disclosed that more than 76 million adults, representing 38 per cent of the estimated 200 million population of Nigeria, cannot read and write despite increasing efforts to improve literacy levels in the country.

Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, who made this known at a news conference marking the 2021 International Literacy Day (ILD), celebration in Nigeria, added this was in addition to the burden of over 6.9 million children who are out of school.

He also expressed fears that the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic might hinder the realization of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Target 4.6.

The Minister said: “As you are aware, it is estimated that over 6.9 million children are out of school.

“This is in addition to the estimated 38% of non-literate adult Population.

“Investing in Education of the parents will have a ripple effect on the reduction of out of school children.

“It is a fact that non-literate parents are more likely to breed out of school children, thereby compounding the phenomenon facing our nation today,” he said.

Adamu noted that Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 calls on countries to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.

He added that SDG Target 4.6 requires that by 2030, member states should ensure that all youth and a substantial proportion of adults, both men and women, achieve literacy and numeracy.

The aim is that by 2030, all young people and adults across the world should have achieved relevant and recognised proficiency levels in functional literacy and numeracy skills that are equivalent to levels achieved at the successful completion of basic education.

“Regrettably the advent of COVID 19 pandemic has disrupted the learning of children, young people and adults at an unprecedented scale which might likely hinder the realization of SDG Target 4.6,” he said.

The Minister, therefore, noted that the theme “Literacy for a Human-Centred Recovery: Narrowing the Digital Divide” was apt and timely considering the focus and Change Agenda of this administration to reposition all sectors of the economy including Education.

The representative of UNESCO Director-General at the event, Mammadou Lamine Sow, said the COVID-19 pandemic has presented a new array of challenges for the education sector requiring not only a paradigm shift but the rethinking of education.

Lamine Sow said: “The COVID-19 pandemic has been the worst disturbance to education and training systems in a century, with the longest school closures affecting more than 1.6 billion learners at its peak time.

“According to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) by November 2020, the average child had lost 54 percent of a year’s contact time, which could be interpreted as the loss of over a year’s learning if the time of forgetting what was previously acquired is counted.

“The COVID-19 crisis has confirmed the fragility of many youth and adult literacy programmes, systems and policies as represented by the abrupt suspension of numerous programmes,” he said.

In November 1966, (UNESCO proclaimed 8th September of every year as the International Literacy Day (ILD), to draw global attention to the status of literacy and lifelong learning, as well as highlight the linkage between literacy and the development of individuals and Nations.

76 million Nigerian adults are illiterates...

HOW CAN ONE TEACH AN ADULT HOW TO READ & WRITE?

Absolutely, in fact that’s part of my job. I teach adults with zero literacy skills how to read and write. It’s a slow and difficult process. I don’t think that is because adults are somehow stupider than children, but adults have a whole lot of other things to be thinking about beyond the weird nature of language and how to use it.

So, how to do it? I start with reading. Simple things, recognising patterns with letters and identifying things of personal relevance. Names, addresses and so on. From there you find links to other things the individual is going to remember, important holidays, food, animals, etc. That helps with the basics of reading. At this stage they’re ready to start writing basic words, beginning with their name and moving on to other things they can now read.

I’ve found its reading that improves writing, and the idea of context is also important. What do they think the next word in a sentence should be? Chances are they’ll guess from a combination of the subject and the first few letters of a word. Reading both aloud and silently help. Aloud because it train your ears to remember and silently because it impresses the patterns of words into your mind, allowing faster recognition and replication.

Most importantly is consistency. Reading and writing needs to be done, every day. Not practising will prevent the process of clarification and things are easily forgotten. This is why people who don’t read often lose some of their ability later in life, making them less likely to read, making them less likely to understand, and so on.

That’s the gist of how it works. Sometimes you’ll get someone who’s just too damaged to learn due to trauma, sometimes you’ll get someone who’s naturally gifted and learns quickly. Most people fall somewhere in the middle. With context, practice and consistency, most people can learn to read and write fluently in a few years.
