Závěrečný díl naší série se zaměřuje na definici toho, kdo je dobrý učitel, a přináší příběhy šesti významných pedagogů, kteří svými metodami a přístupem změnili svět vzdělávání. Jaime Escalante, který odmítl snížit nároky na výuku matematiky na nízkoúrovňové střední škole v Los Angeles, ukázal, že i ti nejméně privilegovaní studenti mohou dosáhnout úspěchu, pokud jsou správně vedeni a motivováni. Anne Sullivan, učitelka hluchoslepé Helen Keller, dokázala naučit svou žákyni komunikovat a tím otevřít dveře k vyššímu vzdělání, což bylo tehdy považováno za nemožné. Palestinská učitelka Hanan Al Hroub získala Global Teacher Prize za svou práci s dětmi traumatizovanými násilím a prosazování vzdělání jako cesty k míru. Booker T. Washington, zastánce vzdělání pro černošské obyvatelstvo po emancipaci, byl prvním vedoucím Tuskegee University a podílel se na budování vzdělávací infrastruktury na jihu USA. Kakenya Ntaiya, která podstoupila ženskou obřízku výměnou za možnost vzdělání, nyní vede školu v Keni, která bojuje proti této praxi a podporuje vzdělání dívek. Přestože každý z těchto pedagogů měl unikátní přístup a čelil různým výzvám, spojuje je víra v sílu vzdělání a odhodlání překonat překážky. Dnes je populární Montessori metoda, která vznikla jako nástroj pro integraci sociálně a jinak znevýhodněných dětí, ale její aplikace se změnila v elitní vzdělávací program pro bohaté rodiny. Metoda podporuje individuální potřeby dítěte, samostatnost a nezávislost, senzorické a praktické učení a respekt k přirozenému vývoji dítěte. Přestože Montessori metoda neklade přímý důraz na technické vzdělání, ukazuje, že kvalitní vzdělání může otevřít dveře a dát prostor talentu, což potvrzují úspěchy jejích absolventů, jako jsou zakladatelé Googlu nebo Amazonu. Tímto dílem uzavíráme naši sérii o tom, jak vzdělání a učitelé mohou měnit životy a budoucnost. Poslechněte si ostatní Wolfcasty, historický přehled naleznete na retronation.cz.

Dr. Kakenya Ntaiya is a senior fellow at the Watson Institute and the founder of Kakenya's Dream, a female empowerment and education non-profit based in the rural Masai Mara of Kenya. Kakenya grew up in the Masai Mara, in a community where it was expected that women wouldn't go to school beyond childhood. They'd be subject to early, arranged marriages, and worse. Yet, incredibly, Kakenya forged a different path. On this episode of Trending Globally, you'll hear Kakenya's story in her own words, and learn how it led her to develop a new model for girls' education in rural Kenya. It's a model based on a premise that her life story also affirms: that the education of girls and the health of a community are deeply intertwined. https://www.kakenyasdream.org/ (Learn more about Kakenya's Dream) https://watson.brown.edu/news/podcasts (Learn more about the Watson Institute's other podcasts)
Students around the world are struggling to return to school in the midst of the Covid-19 crisis, but these challenges are especially acute for vulnerable adolescent girls and young women in low income countries, where Covid-19 has magnified the barriers they already faced in getting an education, including HIV, economic hardship, gender-based violence, early marriage, and unintended pregnancy. In this episode, we're looking at why education for girls, especially secondary education, is so critical for girls' health and development, and how Covid-19 threatens their ability to go back to school. Janet Fleischman speaks with Dr. Kakenya Ntaiya, a Kenyan educator and founder of Kakenya's Dream, which educates and empowers girls and works to end harmful traditional practices, like female genital cutting/mutilation and child marriage. Kakenya describes the impact of Covid-19 on the school for girls that she founded in Kenya, and how the school responded. Janet then takes us to western Kenya, where she speaks to Linda Achieng Orodo, a 19-year-old secondary school student, who participates in the PEPFAR-led DREAMS program. Like many girls in her community, Linda faced many challenges in returning to school after the Covid lockdown, and she gives us a glimpse of why secondary school is so critical for girls in Kenya.

Among the guests: VOA Spanish reporter Lina Correa; Lyric Thompson, director of policy & advocacy at the International Center for Research on Women; and Kakenya Ntaiya, who was engaged to be married at age 5, convinced her parents to call off the marriage at age 11, and is now an activist to end child marriages.

Two women fighting to educate girls in Afghanistan and Kenya talk to Emily Webb about the ingenious ideas they've come up with to deal with opposition from men in the community. Imagine searching classrooms for bombs before the start of every school day: that's the reality for Razia Jan who decided to open a school for girls in a village in rural Afghanistan. Razia had lived a comfortable life in the US for over 30 years, but after the fall of the Taliban, she decided to return to her home country, and was shocked by what she saw. Despite strong local opposition, she is now educating hundreds of girls who were previously denied any schooling. Kakenya Ntaiya dreamt of becoming a teacher, but she had to make an unimaginable deal with her father to stay in education. She went onto gain a PhD in education, and having graduated, she returned to her own Maasai village in Kenya to set up a primary boarding school for girls. She hopes that her students will be the leaders and decision-makers of the future. (L) Image: Kakenya Ntaiya. Credit; Kakenya's Center for Excellence. (R) Image: Razia Jan.

Ntaiya conta sua corajosa história até chegar à faculdade, e seu trabalho junto aos mais velhos de sua vila, para construir uma escola para meninas na comunidade.

Kakenya Ntaiya made a deal with her father: She would undergo a traditional Maasai rite of passage, female circumcision, if he would let her go to high school. Ntaiya tells the fearless story of continuing on to college, and of working with her village elders to build a school for girls in her community, changing the destiny of 125 young women.
Кекения Нтайя договорилась со своим отцом: она пройдёт традиционный среди народа Масаи обряд женского обрезания, если он разрешит ей учиться в школе. Нтайя рассказывает историю о том, как она осмелилась продолжить своё обучение в колледже, а затем поговорить со старейшинами в родной деревне, чтобы построить там школу для девочек.

Kakenya Ntaiya was born in a rural village in southern Kenya, one of eight children. When she was 5 years old, her parents arranged an engagement to a local boy. She was to be circumcised before becoming a teenager to signify the end of her education and the start of married life. It seemed that a future of working on her rural family farm was set. But she made a deal with her father: She would agree to be circumcised only if he would allow her to finish high school. He agreed. She then negotiated with the village elders to do what no girl had done before: leave her village to go to college in the United States. Kakenya is now finishing her Ph.D. in education. Kakenya was the first youth adviser to the United Nations Population Fund, and she has traveled around the world to speak on the importance of educating girls, particularly as a means to fight the practices of female genital mutilation and child marriage. And, she started the only primary school for girls in her home region. The school has 95 girls in grades 4 through 6 and six teachers, and accepts 30 new girls each year. In this interview, Ntaiya discusses the opportunities that come with education for girls in her community, the effects of early marriage on girls' livelihoods, and how the practice of FGM/C has changed in Kenya. (Passed by Kenya's parliament in 2001, the Children's Act outlaws various forms of violation against children, including FGM, for females 18 and younger.)
