Making Space for Girls' Education,

Starting with Nigeria

This animation illustrates our learning journey through 6 interconnected spaces:

  • e-Space

  • Classroom & School

  • Beyond the Classroom

  • Personal learning Networks

  • Groups of collaboration and cooperation

  • the Liminal, which lies at the core of learning.

Explore these concepts.

Education has many interconnected learning spaces which teachers can develop to enhance students’ engagement and motivation, knowledge and skills.

This educational e-Space focus’ to forge the Liminal space for teachers, students, community and beyond.

Through the development of critical thinking skills teachers and students alike learn to question, problem solve, and develop contextual, relevant solutions.

The liminal space; the transition between previous known thought, to a new understanding, can be challenging and often vulnerably frustrating, but immensely satisfying when thinking is transformed, and solutions exposed.

 

Our personal learning networks, which are our connections to people’s ideas and information, can be networked within the e-Space, the school, and beyond.

 

Group formations provide the essential structure for optimum learning, through collaborative and cooperative opportunities.

Girls’ Education in Nigeria

 

“Nigeria’s out of school population presents the largest in the world and it is growing.

Of the staggering 10.5 million out of school children in Nigeria today, the majority

are girls” (British Council, 2014, p. 5).

 

As Nigeria presents one of the most difficult places in the world for girls to receive education, it has been the beginning investigative focal location. While funds and resources have been presented as significantly enmeshed to withholding girls from education, are they the ultimate solution to ending global problems?

It is undeniably needed, but to truly delve into the crux of the failures (and solutions), we need to analyse where they originate. In the words of a famous scientist:

“The world we have created is a product of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our THINKING”

                                                                                            - Albert Einstein.

 

Therefore, it is proposed that the failures lie first in our thinking, and that solutions will spring from the collective solutions of transformed thought.
