Did you know that students from marginalised communities in the UK are three times more likely to be excluded from school compared to their peers? This shocking statistic not only limits their educational opportunities but also impacts their future prospects. We believe every young person deserves an equal chance to succeed. We call on #schools and #universities to actively support inclusive education that uplifts all students, regardless of their background. Together, we can build a system that empowers every child to reach their full potential. Be the change. ... #Inequalities #ChangeMaker #ChangeAgents #UK #Education #EqualOpportunities #MarginalisedCommunites #GlobalMajority #Students #Community #InstitutionalRacism #Discrimination #BAME #SocialJustice #Change

In our #society, there's a #belief that "girls get spoiled with too much education." Girls are educated just enough to be considered educated. This question always comes to my mind Why? Either educate these girls so well that they hold #positions of power, have their own #identity, and have the #freedom to make decisions for themselves. I have noticed and talked to many women. Recently, to closely check the reality, I #reconnected with my circle of postgraduate classmates. In our batch, there were #62 girls, and only #5 of us, including myself, were working. The remaining #57, whether married or not, have let the memories and #learnings from our postgraduate journey become foggy. They have forgotten their ambitions and dreams amid daily social responsibilities. I understand the pain of being educated yet living as uneducated, forgetting all those ambitions they once had. When I asked some married friends and their in-laws, I received a shocking response: "We only want an educated girl, not an overly educated one." This reconnected me with the #thoughts that many #parents educate their girls but do not prioritize their education, just because they are also part of the same society. They know the reality of our society where highly educated girls are not highly accepted. Girls are educated just enough to maintain social acceptance because if they become self-aware, they will develop decision-making skills. Which is not acceptable in #tier 2, #tier 3 society. We are taking many steps to educate girls and are doing great in this path. But what about all those girls who are sacrificing their #dreams, #cooking them on a gas stove, or #washing them away in #cold water? Looking for organizations and NGO programs that support the education and dreams of married women. #Dreams, #Education, #future, #Career, #womeninpower M S Mahala, Sanjana Binwal, Shahbaz Baba Krithika Ram, Megha Bhaskar, Surabhi Yadav, Educate Girls, Safeena Husain,Sajhe Sapne,

𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗔𝗱𝘂𝗹𝘁 𝗟𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘆 Education is both a means and an end to a better life. At EOFO India, we believe in the transformative power of education to uplift and empower individuals, particularly women in marginalized communities. Our Adult Literacy Program is more than just teaching reading and writing—it's about igniting a spark of hope, courage, and determination in women who have long been denied these opportunities. We focus on their rights, needs, and interests, enabling them to dream bigger and engage with the world beyond their own. In many areas, adult female literacy rates have remained heartbreakingly stagnant, despite overall improvements in literacy. Traditional programs often limit women's roles to being mothers and responsible citizens. However, countless women face significant barriers to accessing education, often needing to leave their communities to learn. That's why our community-based learning centers are so vital. They provide a safe haven for women to learn, grow, and break free from the chains of illiteracy, all within their own communities. Here, they can find their voices, tell their stories, and transform their lives. Imagine the mother who can now read her child's report card, the woman who can now stand up for her rights, and the individual who can now pursue her dreams with confidence. This is the impact of our Adult Literacy Program. Join us in supporting and celebrating the power of education to change lives! Together, we can light up the path to a brighter future. #Womenempowerment; #growth; #literacy; #EachOneFeedOne; #future azeem uddin Amreen Farooq Habiba Zafar Junaid Ansari

You can help ensure every adolescent girl and young woman has the chance to flourish. Through education, not only lives are changed, a ripple effect is ignited, transforming communities. #mentorHER #empowerHER #educateHER

Empowerment is subjective... be sure not to judge that which varies from each home, workplace, community, nation or even in the entire world. Be sure to accept all ways of life while working toward your own values. https://lnkd.in/gTWiuCsb

Working with your ND child’s educator We all talk about educational support for our ND children in school systems. We write pages after pages of advocacy forms for them, and we advocate with a lot of heart. What we forget is this. The teachers are humans too. We have hard days with our overstimulated child, I cannot even imagine having an overflowing classroom with overstimulated children and a school system that is frankly, bursting at the seams. What is the solution? We as parents must work with the teachers and help them with our children, as much as the rules allow. Over the years I have seen that 1. Accurate communication 2. Respect 3. Teamwork 4. Goal setting every quarter in the conferences …has helped with establishing trust with the teachers, as well as eased their load. My ND child has fidgeting and focus issues (a very common overstimulation symptom) and I have worked with the teachers on getting that under control through 1. Physical activities 2. Healthy social interactions 3. Routine at home Me being ND myself, meant I had to work on myself first and then work with her teachers, get a part time mothers helper and so much more… to bring this all under control. Is it hard? Yes Is it doable with a bit of structure? Ofcourse. If I can, anyone can. Teachers want to help but they are overextended. Helping them do their jobs goes a LONG way, in your standing in the community as well as the overall vibe 💕 As school year starts for many and the first week of new school year comes to a close for me, hope this helps. Apologies for the last couple days of ragey posts on state of women in India. 🇮🇳 Lots of work to be done… but we are moving on for our sanity. #neurodiversity #education #neurodiverse

Reflecting on my years in progressive schools, I often ponder the stark reality that quality education remains largely confined to the creamiest layer of our society in India. This inequity raises critical questions about the rights of children from disadvantaged backgrounds, be it related to class, caste, or gender. In a country with such rich diversity, it's imperative to address these disparities head-on to ensure every child has equal access to opportunities and a quality education which is clearly missing at the moment. Only then can we truly claim to be building a fair and just society. How can our education policies advocate for policy reforms, invest in marginalized communities' schools, foster partnerships, and promote awareness to dismantle biases. Together, we need to ensure every child has equal access to quality education. #EducationForAll #EquityInEducation #SocialChange #India #nep #educationpolicy #inclusion #childrights

Life doesn’t always go as planned, as Shirin Zoufan knows very well. While dealing with caring for her seriously ill parents, she was academically dismissed as an undergraduate student. She intended to take a brief break and then return, but that break turned into 10 years. After restarting her degree through the Access Center, she completed her remaining requirements with nine A’s and one A- and she found a new passion in UD's Department of Women and Gender Studies.   Shirin says, “When I started my undergraduate studies, I was trying to do what my family thought I should do and the decision to return to college was hard for me because I had stopped believing in myself. Trish not only encouraged me to try, but she also helped me find women and gender studies, an academic area that I love so much. If I gave someone in my shoes advice, I’d say ‘Don’t let what other people think or expect limit you – it’s your journey.’” To learn more about the services our Access Center provides, visit https://lnkd.in/eEdHd-zr If you have a success story that you would like to share with us, email continuing-ed@udel.edu. #womenchangemakers #womenempowerment #womenineducation #womenshistorymonth #lifelonglearning #lifelonglearner #professionaldevelopment
