Proud to have participated in the **Civil Society Dialogue** on providing technical suggestions to the interim government, focusing on prioritizing crisis management, educational reform, and improvements across various sectors. It was an inspiring gathering where leaders from civil society, NGOs, INGOs, human rights activists, and representatives of the student movement came together to share their insights and collaborate on the way forward. In my speech, I emphasized on Reform and rebranding of Police, Education ministry reform where we don't need two different ministries for Education at all, talked about a dedicated Advisor dor Ministry of Women and Children affairs and also talked about utilizing large development NGO worksforce for dirrect goverment funding to impliment large scale education health and other prohects. The contributions from each participant will be consolidate and submitted to the interim government ASAP Together, we can drive meaningful change. #CrisisManagement #EducationReform #CivilSociety #Leadership #CollectiveAction

🔍 Navigating the Future of SEND in the UK: Expert Insights As a leader of 22 years in schools, I've witnessed firsthand the challenges and opportunities in Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) within our current system. Let's dive into the key issues and potential solutions: Current Tensions: 1️⃣ Inconsistent support across regions 2️⃣ Funding pressures on local authorities 3️⃣ Reactive rather than proactive interventions 4️⃣ Shortage of specialist staff Next Steps for Improvement: ✅ Implement a national framework for consistent standards - for those who feel we have one, you are right but it HAS to be applied consistently if pupils are to get the support they deserve. ✅ Invest in early intervention (backed by EEF research) ✅ Enhance workforce development and capacity not just within ITT and ECF but through ring-fenced CPD entitlements ✅ Promote evidence-based practices ✅ Improve multi-agency collaboration across national boundaries (increasingly I have seen poor sharing between counties for young people with complex need) ✅ Empower families in decision-making processes ✅ Develop a sustainable long-term funding model 💡 Did you know? The DfE's 2022 SEND Review highlighted these issues, emphasizing the need for systemic change. 🔑 Key Takeaway: By addressing these challenges head-on, we can create a more inclusive, effective, and sustainable SEND system in the UK. 👥 What's your experience with SEND provision?

While Southern Africa has made strides in improving access to education, significant gaps still exist, especially in rural and marginalized communities. Many students face overcrowded classrooms, inadequate resources, and limited opportunities, leaving them at a disadvantage. To achieve #SDG4 (Quality Education) and the goals of #Agenda2063, we must address these barriers and work towards creating more equitable access to education for all. True progress means ensuring that no child is left behind. How can we collectively ensure that every child, no matter their background, has the opportunity to thrive through education? Let’s engage in the conversation and explore innovative solutions. 🌍📚 Find more resources on our website: https://lnkd.in/dGNGQqMa #EducationForAll #SustainableDevelopment #Agenda2063 #QualityEducation #EquityInEducation
