Together, we can create a new social contract for education that truly values and empowers the voices of those who are essential to its success."

At the South Dakota Education Equity Coalition, we envision schools where Indigenous cultures and languages are not just an option, but the foundation. Our goal is to secure more public funding for schools dedicated to these principles, ensuring that our youth can thrive in environments that fully embrace their heritage. 📚 Why It Matters: Investing in schools that focus on Indigenous language and culture is essential for preserving our traditions and strengthening our communities. These schools offer students a sense of identity and belonging, providing them with the tools to succeed in all areas of life. 🤝 How You Can Help: Support our initiatives to increase funding for these vital educational institutions. Together, we can create a future where every Indigenous student has access to an education that truly reflects and respects their ancestral heritage. 💬 Share this message and help us spread the word. Each voice matters in our journey towards a more inclusive and equitable educational landscape.

October 18 marks a significant day in the history of education, as various important milestones are celebrated around the world. This date has seen numerous transformative events that have shaped the educational landscape as we know it today. One of the key milestones is the founding of the first public school in the United States, the Boston Latin School, in 1635. As the oldest existing school in America, it has set a precedent for public education, emphasizing the importance of accessible learning for all children. Another notable event on October 18 is the introduction of the Education Act 1944, also known as the Butler Act, in the United Kingdom. This legislation reformed the education system by making secondary education free and accessible to all children, thereby laying the groundwork for a more egalitarian society. The Act also led to the establishment of the tripartite system of secondary education, which included grammar schools, secondary modern schools, and technical schools. In more recent history, October 18, 2006, saw the launch of the Global Campaign for Education's 'Global Action Week.' This international effort has been instrumental in advocating for the right to quality education for everyone, particularly focusing on marginalized groups and promoting literacy and lifelong learning. These milestones highlight the ongoing evolution and importance of education in society. As we celebrate these achievements on October 18, it serves as a reminder of the continual progress needed to ensure education remains inclusive, equitable, and adaptable to the challenges of the modern world. #milestonesineducationhistory #educationhistory #BostonLatinSchool #ButlerAct1944 #EducationForAll #GlobalActionWeek #EducationReform #AccessibleLearning
