You can have all the computers, textbook and teachers present and we will find that many students are struggling with school because of issues around wellness @dube_earl #ruhusiwa #girlsallowed
Let’s not fight digital ICTs let us actually embrace and teach learners how to actually use them for educational purposes. #ruhusiwa #girlsallowed @kamara_harriet
Just because you have paid school fees & paid for book the school will do the rest. We need parents to own up education or their children it’s critical @kamara_harriet #ruhusiwa

Education encourages girls and women to make decision for themselves, their families and their communities, hence educating them in all issues we are educating the whole regions @teresiakarimi-

So many girls and women are dropping our of school for societal, cultural and political issues. So many of these stories are undocumented to see how deep these norms are causing a huge problem for girls education

A lot of people were asking me 7 years ago when I started and why as a woman are running anything digital

It's not about that girls can't do it or aren't inspired but I think from my context it's about affordability.
We buy boys tablets and toy-phones but we buy girls barbie dolls and playhouses
@geeekaaaay #Ruhusiwa #girlsallowed
Access to Data and wifi is also a challenge that a lot of girls face.

We are able to do more, and we are smarter but the challenge that we have is that we are socialised differently. The wave of change is coming & will break the ceiling

Teachers need to be trained on how to be sensitive and help encourage pregnant girls to stay in school. The community also plays a huge role for girls to stay in school.

@mkubvoruno #ruhusiwa #girlsallowed
Investing in cultural and traditional leaders who become custodians of the whole process to make sure that pregnant girls go back to school. Victimisation is not the way to help pregnant girls access education

@mkubvoruno from @rozariaconnects
#ruhusiwa #girlsallowed
In our programming, we are seeing a 100 % pass rate of pregnant girls passing school and we even have a case of one studying Law at the Ezekiel Guti University

Our panelist are well versed with climate changes its relations to girls education from their different communities @JobertNgwenya @SelinaNkoile @sinikiwemarodza @soovi_gogreen #girlsallowed #girlseducation #africa
Floods always cause a lot of damage to school infrastructure and education is affected drastically. Drought and lesser rains affect Zimbabwe and this, in turn, has adverse impacts on girls being used to source food for the family

Access to Water is becoming an issue in both urban and rural settings and girls spend more and more time at the watering holes fetching water which reduces their time to actually study and learn.

Girls and women once they are capacitated with ICT and digital spaces we will find a lot of tools, and resources being created and built specifically for women and issues and the community.

@dube_earl
#girlsallowed #ruhusiwa #ruhusiwadialogues
Africa literally started scrambling for ICT when Covid 19 hit and the focus became the urban centres but then the question became Do we have the capacity to serve ICTs' education even in the remotest areas.

@dube_earl
#girlsallowed #ruhusiwa #ruhusiwadialogues
Creating safeguards for the future of education is key because pandemics, conflicts and climate change is happening and we need to the whole community to prepare these issues so that girls can be served.

One Third of population of Africa is actually facing some aspect of climatic shock, conflicts and insecurity, pandemics and poverty. A majority of these people facing these are girls who find themselves not getting to school

GDP We need data and research to know the real challenges around education in Africa. Tracking all this data and students is critical to making sure that every child is getting basic education

Maria Mdachi #Ruhusiwa #GirsAllowed
