A Brief Perspective of the Sustainable Development Goals

-
WRITTEN BY: Asanya Boluwatife Ndidi The unanimous agreement of the 193 member states of the United Nations General Assembly to the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development in 2015 produced one of the most ambitious and inclusive global aspirations in history. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a collection of 17 interlinked global goals designed to be a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. Targeted at committing members states to ensure greater inclusivity, end poverty and push the world to a more sustainable path. The SDGs are broad and interdependent thus begetting the question as to how well these broad global aspirations are likely to result in implementable developments especially in developing countries. The inclusion of so many goals without a hierarchy of priority and without reference to inherent contradictions that are likely to result in conflict between the goals may have unintended negative consequences which may inhibit the timely/e...

AFRICAN REALITY

African reality

Some African citizens have looked down on their selves to the point that their mindset has focused on them thinking low of themselves as nothing. That they can't make the impossible happen.

Well this is a short information about why Circles of Africa was created

Circles of Africa was basically created to organize talk shows and conferences for young Africans and also to empower young Africans who are not privileged enough to study and crater for themselves.

 We hope we could do more to help young Africans, which has made us believe that we could change the narrative of Africa.

 Our organization was coined out of the social beliefs among young Africans that "we are not as intelligent as the foreign countries, they only know what's best for us". Then we choose to create an awareness on leadership education as a way to shape the African mindset that "we can do more than we can ever imagine because all things are created in the mind and through the mind, the world was made"

 To build a greater Africa is not just by daydreaming but by taking action, which is our core vision to raise young African leaders who are ready to make their dreams come to a reality. "Your dreams worth more than a million dollars, only you can make it a reality". Africa needs action takers and not daydreamers which has lead to a project we are working on which is our leadership school that will be established in 2023.

 Circles of Africa is a platform created to inspire young Africans and to help them establish their dreams.

"Your dreams only become a reality when you choose to take action"

Join us and let's make Africa a greater Africa.

THE AFRICAN SOCIAL PROBLEM ON IMPROVING LITERACY IN AFRICA

Africa Social Problem on Improving Literacy in Africa Africa is the largest continent across the globe that has most of its individuals succumbed to illiteracy. It is vital to point out at the outset that reading is a perquisite to literacy but most Africans, especially children find it difficult to flip and dribble within the pages. A study cited by Global Citizens stated that over half the world’s 10- years-olds could be unable to read by the end of 2021, with Africa’s children in particular set to struggle a lot. The study went to dissect that if measures are not put in place to enhance global literacy, by 2030, a whooping amount of 750 million will fall victim to illiteracy with sub-Saharan Africa securing a percentage of 40, which in fact, would contradict the moral and rationale of the well-crafted Agenda 2063 of African Union and Sustainable Development Goals number 4.  That said, at this juncture, it is healthy I introduce in the discourse some of the social pro...

The Difference Between Pre-colonial and Post-colonial Education in Africa By Maame Ama Bainson The state of education in Africa is a buzzing topic in our world today. However, it is impossible to discuss the history of African education without mentioning colonization. The history of education in Africa can be separated into two periods: pre-colonial and post-colonial. The colonization of Africa by the seven western European powers took place between 1881 and 1914. What then was the state of education in Africa before this period, during this period and after this period? Pre-colonial Africa was mostly made up of tribes who often migrated depending on seasons, availability of fertile soil or political circumstances. Individuals and households, within that period, were to some extent economically self-sufficient. This is in the sense that they produced their own food and were responsible for their own shelter and security and hence had no need for the scope of knowledge that...

THE IMPACTS AND IMPORTANCE OF WESTERN EDUCATION IN AFRICA Africa is known as a dark continent because it lacked a great sense of globalization and education which was prominent in most continents. Ignorance is a disease that this continent suffered from for so long. Nevertheless, Africa is a home endowed with resources and amazing cultural activities. The westerners were aware of this fact and that was why they slyly moved into this continent not to improve the use of her resources for her people but to gain from these resources. They devised so many means which included trading their goods to African countries, bringing in their own religion which they presumed was best and colonization. Yes, colonization. This dealt a great blow on African countries.  THE IMPACTS : Africans were people that couldn’t be defended physically. Having known this, the westerners decided to use them mentally. Thinking that the westerners; colonizers were doing them a great favor was the bigg...
