What is quality education?

Quality Education is defined by five key dimensions;

a) What learners bring, b)environments, C)content, D)processes and d)outcomes.

Quality education is holistic and a prerequisite for sustainable development.

URBAN SLUMS EDUCATION:

In slum villages like Soweto, quality education remains a pipe dream. Close to 60% of children here don’t receive quality education due to discrimination by politicians and policy makers.

Soweto Slum Villages are in Nairobi’s Kayole Estate, where WISDOM NEST COMMUNITY EDUCATION PROGRAMME, (WINCEP), is located.

WINCEP is an initiative to promote quality education and inclusion. It intends to launch a SCHOOLS TWINNING PROGRAM to promote quality education and inclusion of Soweto Slum Villages children.

SCHOOLS TWINNING PROGRAM:

Our goal is to twin slum schools with schools from the West e.g. America, Europe, Australia. and Asia, e.t.c.

BENEFITS OF SCHOOL TWINNING:

The benefits to be gained for participating schools include;

1. Professional development for staff.
2. Opportunities for school improvement.
3. International link enhances the curriculum across the board.
4. The learning experience of a cultural exchange of information on respective countries. Learning at a personal level about a different culture.
5. Penpal scheme. The opportunity to form long-lasting friendships via airmail and internet.
6. A source of sponsorship to fund educational projects.
7. Help build morale in the devastated schools.
8. The opportunity for schools to obtain or exchange equipment, books, clothing, shoes and other gifts.
9. The opportunity for exposure working teaching methods, aids and languages.
