Gambia`s International School Systems

Dr. Amos Wilson said, "Language is conspiracy." By this he meant, "without your own language, you cannot communicate in secret.

Fitawrari Fitness exactly that what i like most about Ghana because they have so many many local languages and they teach them in schools.

I think Ghana is light years ahead of most African countries because they have brothers and sisters who have come there from the US, Caribbean and teamed up with Ghanaians and opened up schools that teaches Black Power history and they tend to know a little bit more about how the world works. I think it'll get better their too because you're beginning to get more black people from the US the Caribbean and the UK moving to the Gambia Senegal area now.

Pierre Toussaint exactly right our numbers are growing in The Gambia.

[@yasnyne]

It can be true but I think there are more opportunities in The Gambia than in Ghana. Ghana feels overwhelming and many people taking the western culture there.

[@snake991231]

I do appreciate this information. I’ve been trying to gather as much information as possible regarding the educational system & the American experience .

[@lovemidou9619]

I'll pay someone to come over to homeschool my kids, I'll use the k12 online school program. We don't need to open our own schools yet, but we definitely need a after school program system to teach our kids the true about us, 3 hrs every day is good enough for the after school program.

The public schools are curriculumed by the colonizers

[@yusufusayd3151]

Again, the idea is to collectively have a schooling mechanism in place that prioritizes teaching our kids their own history and culture and giving them the skills of STEM and communication as well as critical thinking!!! The problem is when the ideas of home schooling and self-directed learning get kicked around, we as black parents get overwhelmed thinking we gotta do it all. Or have to be experts in ALL of these subjects. When in reality, as a community of parents (households) we can all share in the responsibilities.

[@BDB-ji1ui]

I really love these Couple. Your love for the Motherland "Africa" is beyong many imaginations! This is what I called Pan-Africanist.

[@7thassasin]

Schooling is an interesting area. I am an educator and I am leaning towards stepping away from the field. If I was to start a school abroad I would use the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks as a foundation, swap out the History/Social Studies and Reading components and strongly integrate trades components into it as a way to build skills that the country needs. Desk building, construction, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, Recycling, Art, Design, Agriculture, Horticulture, Textiles, Health and manufacturing are the best ways to root learners in Math and Science. I recommend you get your feet wet teaching Business at the University, find a way to offer something great and then start the school.

[@amaradumbuya2099]

they teach african languages and english in Sierraleonean schools,come to sierraleone

[@amaradumbuya2099]

@Moe Moe no iam from Sierraleone and went through the school system 98 % of the classes are taught in English ,African languages make 2 % of the courses

[@learningmisso]

Homeschooling is rewarding for all. I'm so pleased to hear that in the future you're looking forward to teaching the true history to the children/community at Bag. We need to teach our children to be self empowered. I've been in the education system in America and it only teaching continuous enslavement.

[@stevenbrown5332]

Greetings family. Thanks for this information four of my sons r 10 and under. If we choose Gambia we better be prepared to homeschool. I think il use my stronger dollar to employ college students to teach the boys a very Afrocentric course of study along with kiswahili.

[@blackacresofthegambia]

Steven Brown now this is a plan for success.

[@amaradumbuya2099]

open your own school that teaches african languages

[@cassandraknight9869]

Thank you for the information, but compare to private in America, Private schools here are much more expensive. You pay $400 a month or more. And you also have to pay other expenses as well.

[@tacsavory]

It sounds like the educational system in The Gambia doesn’t care about the future of the youth

[@monicanadine]

Great video! Man oh man, those colonizers really made sure to do a number on the Diasporans of every continent, country and city smh! But it’s all good, because some of us know better now, so we that know can do better, as well pave the path for others who don’t.

[@blackacresofthegambia]

Kiss My Coils Yes ma’am, Thank you

[@BrandonAhmaud]

Wow, that's unfortunate they aren't teaching them native African languages. Homeschool would be my option of choice also. There should be a black centered African school within all countries of Africa. I'd even donate towards that type of movement Edit: that's crazy the content has to be approved 😤

Your kids are great. They have great personalities and seem like they don't give you guys any trouble/resistant. Unlike my 1 son who thinks everything I say or suggest is the craziest even when I agree with him.. I want a do ova.. lol

Learn those languages to be able to hack into computers and read the blueprints on how to manufacture the same products they are selling to you. Learn your local languages too.

[@blackacresofthegambia]

Dakanu good tactic

Thanks.

[@jamaicansistarobinson7587]

You know what came to my mind today? I was reminiscing on the first time I saw my preschool teacher #MrsSpence was the assistant teacher at(#PubilanSchool #GrangeHill) she carefully made the common (*a*) on the board! However, looking back now, we should have been taught the alphabets of our Afrikan-ancestors?

[@mansakaasi4909]

Guys, this episode almost made me cry. You guys should try and meet Hon. Sallah about this issue of starting a school. ..You will be amazed. .He started a School call Nykoi years ago and I have started seeing some his 1st graduates....They are amazing.

[@ONEHEARTSOUNDS]

I went to a public, then to a missionary school. The international school I believe is owned by foreigners or partly by foreigners. We were taught history and social studies. It was good. This was 19 years ago. Maybe things change now. Maybe no

The way he kept asking when they moved the desk were they Confiscated 🤣🤣🤣

[@beimany1916]

Greetings Fambolie 🙏🏿 Hoping ALL is WELL 💪🏿 I'm in agreement with most of what you said because my children went to the same school you're referring to. Their primary school was better organised than the high school. Maybe because the owner is based at the primary school 🤔. I was mainly happy with the first school and wrongly assumed the high school would offer the same. Once my children joined the high school I deregistered them within the first term and paid for private tuition with selected subject teachers from the sed school where I had more control over what they were being taught and when in our home. The fees you mentioned must have been for the term because I paid about £1000 per child per year. As much as the school offers more on their curriculum than what we've experienced in English schools, the western way of thinking and set up also inspired me to open my own school which WILL offer holistic learning and experiences to carry through life ✊🏿

[@Omiitribe]

What are the laws in Gambia surrounding homeschool. I currently homeschool both of my babies in America. I would love to continue!Thank you for the informative video, Thank You!

[@cocobutterchin6768]

Homeschooling will not work in any African Countries. Not acceptable.

[@Omiitribe]

@@cocobutterchin6768 why not?

[@yasnyne]

Juliet from Bla Xit channel says parents can homeschool. So don’t hurry.

[@tracylynn8101]

You can most definitely homeschool. School is not mandatory for any child because there’s not such thing as a totally free public school in Gambia. Sadly, there are kids who’s parents can’t afford to send them to school (whether that be the uniform or tuition fees) so there are no truancy laws or officers roaming the streets rounding up the kids not attending school. No one will bother you about homeschooling and you won’t be violating any laws. There’s no one to report to about how you are choosing to homeschool either. It’s similar to Texas which has t Hempstead liberal homeschooling laws where you don’t report any updates about your child to the state if you decide to homeschool.

[@dakanu]

Your kids were really being honest. When I tell my Liberian friends about how their educational system is backward compared to the U.S., they get mad at me. I'll share this video with them.

My daughter went to kindergarten and then first grade thru fourth grade. She is in fifth grade now and she is K12 International cause I am planning my move in advance. I receive the military discount rate and it is $280 per month. She is like is this the real history or the lie I need to unlearn for the test. I teach her International Affairs, we watch intl news, history, prepare meals for Africa. Each one reach one reach one.

[@s.p.5213]

When I tell you, it's been 20 mins later and I'm still hurt, numb, and in shock that when she said that, that business went on as usual........ Then scrolling the comments and seeing NO ONE feel disgusted by what she's goign thru, which means a LOT of males (not MEN)... AND FEMALES (not ladies or women) all see this bullshit as normal behavior. After she said it, I had to rewind to ensure that I heard her correctly, not b/c I'm hard of hearing but cuz I was thinking ""Surely she said something else, otherwise there would've been a reaction".... Not knocking anyone, but that was just..... Siiiiiiiih.... Wow. At least buy these young ladies pepper spray. Every female should have one nowadays. Mine is on my keychain. Guys back up fast when they keep being insistent and I say "U must not understand so lemmi get this pepper spray and.....".... I never get to finish the sentence cuz they start speedwalking away. Spend the 10 bucks and get.them.some.spray.

[@BB-yh5ly]

S. P. Thank you NO ONE is going to mention how these teachers are low key grooming the girls, that’s sick. It’s the same thing that goes one with sex tourism that everyone turns a blind eye to. I’d homeschool my children instead were already doing it now because of coronavirus here in America

[@leticial3388]

Can you do the American k12 program because I don’t believe African credentials in regards to education matter here in America so they may have a tough time getting a job if they ever come back to America to do contract work So you may want to consider doing k 12 program it’s free and they can still get their American diploma or certificate

[@cocobutterchin6768]

African high school certificate is accepted in getting into The US Colleges and Universities. Many of us did out high schools in AFRICA and we went straight to America Universities.

[@cocobutterchin6768]

I am Nigerian American I did my high school in Nigeria and came back to USA straight to Nursing school. Nigerian school are more advanced than American schools. I also know so many Gambian people that finished their high schools in Gambia and came to America,their high school diploma was accepted in American Colleges and Universities

[@jojofresh1019]

Why lie so all this African students coming from Africa and joining American college where do you think they got there high school diploma from? Ignorant will always exist I can’t blame you

[@trvthezwbc]

Well America is under developed when it comes to natural resources so it’s what weighs more to your perspective.

[@cocobutterchin6768]

Because they put international school on the school doesn't means that it is an International School. Try SEBEC International School, you are getting what you paid for. Any good school in Africa will cost more than what you said that you are paying for each child. I wanted to send my American child to an International School in Nigeria, she would have gotten better education in Nigeria than America. I didn't send her to Nigeria because the day school that I will want my child to go would have cost Us over $8000 (US Dollars)a year for her first year of high school in Lagos Nigeria.

[@yasnyne]

Cocobutter Chin I think that is the school they are talking about. On their daughter channel she was wearing the same uniform and offers English and franchise only as they stated.

[@iamerikka9774]

Very surprised to find out the school system teaches the status quo like the european

[@larrynettles2056]

Why would you expect a third world school system to be up to par with a developed country’s system?

why do you consider a self proclaimed "developed country" a developed country, in any capacity, when it has to murder and steal and enslave to gain such a title?

Ghana has so many many local languages and they teach them in schools. I guess Gambia is deferent.

[@jobio8786]

If i was to chose school system in the Gambia, compare to America, I will chose the Gambia. My son went to school in America, i don t like the school system America all they do is give you home work .

[@blackacresofthegambia]

Ur so right, Thank you

[@cocobutterchin6768]

Me too. African middle/high schools are way better than American schools. African that came to America to school after HIGH school in Africa are the most Educated people in America including me and my 6 siblings. Maybe their kids need special ED. When they send American children to Africa to school,they are always 2 years behind compared to African standard of education. They should have brought a private teacher home to help them with after school teaching to help them get to where they should be.

[@MistressDay]

It's no different in Italy, to be very honest. My son went to the public school system. In hindsight, I would have done the international school.
