2nd Session of the Permanent Forum on People of African Descent May 30 – June 2, 2023
A summary of the event, here
Representing MaCTRI, I attended the Reparatory Justice and Education for Children of African Descent: A Whole Person and Society Approach session, where I was able to present my education recommendations that were later included in the full session.
My recommendations
- Greater recognition of the importance of supplementary schools (i.e. grassroots education groups)
through UNESCO as part of its Rights Respecting Schools Programme (this would seem to be a logical
extension of its current provision, since we are its first supplementary school in the UK to have gained
its Bronze Portfolio Award) - Greater funding and support of supplementary schools, if not through member states through
UNESCO as part of its Rights Respecting Schools Programme - Greater recognition for the need of training programmes for community educators working in these
settings through UNESCO as part of its Rights Respecting Schools Programme
