Fighting Terrorism With Education

Problem In many undeveloped Muslim countries education is not widely available to all citizens. Many of the boys and young men in these countries get their education in small religious schools called madrasas that teach a strict fundamentalist interpretation of Islamic law to their students. Militant Islamic extremists use these schools as a vehicle for recruiting potential terrorists.

Solution The citizens in these countries have shown that they are open to new schools being built with funding and assistance provided by western nations. These schools encourage women to participate and teach a well rounded curriculum free of fundamentalist teachings. The resulting improvement in literacy and understanding of the outside world creates a more moderate point of view, and reduces poverty and overpopulation.

Montessori Education In Africa and Asia

Montessori Education in Africa

Africa, massive in size with a plethora of cultures, languages, landscapes and history is a continent with uneven education systems. Montessori education has adapted throughout the continent to aid in providing education to communities, both urban and rural. For example, Ms. Deborah McCracken founded the Olive Branch for Children in Tanzania to help provide education to orphans in the Mbeya region. The majority of the orphans are such because they were born to AIDS victims and many were born infected. The school not only provides a Montessori education, but also aids in community development and provides medical care to the children and local residents. McCracken does not just provide courses for children. She has also integrated programs for the community utilizing Montessori Methodology and informal education to better develop self-sustaining projects within the region.

Further south in Zimbabwe Karen Madsen-Barton started the Nhimbe Maaya Preschool for children aged 3 to 6 years old with a similar concept. Not only is education provided for children, there is a large emphasis for sustainable development within the community. Interestingly, in the Nhimbe Magaya Preschool there is a greater emphasis on the use of Shona music, indigenous to this area of Africa. Madsen-Barton has used this music as an inspiration for the environment set up for children and uses the local music as a tool for education wherever possible.

The Meager Resources of Asian and African Legal Education

When referring to drafting international commercial contract, high-profile facility agreement, and other commercial transaction designations as well as legal research & publication, Western-educated lawyers, legal practitioners, and legal researchers are often judged to be much more qualified than the AsianAfrican-educated ones.

By far, legal education in Asia is deemed lacking resources, from which other negative aspects were laid claim to; meager publications, lack of qualified instructors, as well as requiring sophistication and spontaneity from the legal practitioners and non-practitioners.

In retrospect to the cause of the above mental phenomenon, it is true that law was initially fabricated within the Western world; and over myriad of decades, laws in the Western world have become much more sophisticated and civilized than the Asian and African jurisdictions. It is even true when most law firms in Asia and Africa are owned, directed and even named after one or more Western lawyers. Law firms, law associations, law schools and other legal entities offering legal services would attract more clients or be entrusted with more esteems than the local-owned ones.
