I pray One Day African Children will be taught to know and not just to pass – Stella Damasus
Veteran Actress, Stella Damasus has expressed that there is a huge gap between American and African education.
Using a conservation she had with one of her daughters to buttress her point, Damasus noted that kids in America are taught real deep into research, arguments, articles, discussions and are bold enough to defend their findings.
She further prayed that African children will be taught not just to pass but to research and know.
She said;
”So, my daughter @angelicatooni and I, have regular conversations about social justice, psychology, real estate and entertainment. I know that I am smart but the way she talks about these things based on her studies and research shows me a huge gap between the way we were taught in Africa and the way they are taught in America.
”They are able to get them so interested in these subjects that these kids go real deep into research, arguments, articles, discussions etc. The boldness with which they are taught to defend their findings still amazes me. I pray that one day, African children in Africa will be taught to research and KNOW not just to PASS. I pray that they will RISE and take their place.”‘
