re: Erbil, Iraq
Yesika Thanks so much for your posting to the blog post Frances e2€“ we grtelay appreciate that you are open to that public dialogue about issues around indigenous education. Ite2€™s interesting to bring the critical reflection into any debate on the realm of education and also where values of different cultures come into this.I do work in Uganda with the educational system as well with the Ainembabazi Childrene2€™s Project and we struggle with the pedagogy and approach to education as it is based on model from colonialism. The students are being educated in skills that prepare them for a future that is centred around a western model of what we would envision as values in education and success for the future but in reality, doesne2€™t necessarily prepare them for success within their own culture, community and environment.How do we define what needs to be in the curriculum? In a recent dialogue with a Ugandan PhD student on the values of education in Uganda, she argued quite strongly that the content of the curriculum had to fundamentally change in Uganda to provide an education that fits within their cultural and societal needs to perform well and become active citizens within their context and not within the colonial western concept.Theree2€™s interesting discussion here because finding a blend between that evidence based curriculum which you speak of to prepare students to participate in a e2€˜globalizede2€™ world is important, but yet, as many indigenous groups around the world are grappling with, where is that fine line of making education relevant and fully embedded within their cultural framework so that individuals in their communities thrive? And thrive within not only their culture but also the globalized world?This is obviously a heated debate and because it does arouse such emotion, it speaks to the need for public dialogue on this issue.

Les Great blog! What a life lesson you are learning. I don't know that you could ever express what you have experienced there, however you are doing a damn good job. Maybe your new family will be able to visit you back in the states. That would be a real culture shock for them. I miss you and love you lots!!
