Global Partnership for Education’s Post

We live in a strange world. We work hard to give our children an education, to prepare them for the world. We teach them kindness, empathy and social good. But when they stand up for social justice, we have a problem. We teach them to be accountable for their actions, but when they try to hold us accountable, we have a problem. We teach them about the planet, about animals and birds, about mountains and oceans, but when they start to care about climate change, we have a problem. We teach them that equality and freedom are important but when they try to stand up for those who are marginalised and oppressed, we have a problem. We teach them to read and to write. The best schools pride themselves on their students’ communication and leadership skills. But when they start to articulate their ideas and take action in forms of protest, collective action, community organization then we have a problem. We have a problem. #Fridayrant #WhoisEducatingWho #allmyteachersarechildren

Have you ever experienced the disheartening dissolution of a relationship between your organization and a community you serve?
