Education systems around the world are increasingly recognising the value of local approaches to thinking, learning and being.
Schools and universities have a responsibility to protect students from hate speech while also exposing them to views that disrupt their ways of thinking and ideas of the world.
Assessment should be a part of teaching and learning at universities. It’s important because it will subvert exclusion and allow all students to take responsibility for their work.
When several South African universities merged, it was hoped this would improve access and equality. It had the opposite effect.
Undertaking a Muslim education – coming to understand the faith’s teachings and its ideas about humanity – can have enormous value for anyone who wishes to tackle social conflicts.
Adopting an African philosophy of education can be a powerful tool to help the continent’s universities create real social change and justice.
