23.4.2021
675
The article "The Makoko Dream School is a school on water for children in Urban slums" by Precious C. Daniel examines the education challenges and innovative solutions in Makoko, a water-based slum in Lagos, Nigeria.
Makoko Lagos is characterized by wooden stilt houses built over water, with most daily activities taking place on the water's surface. The lack of infrastructure and poverty create significant barriers to education for children in this community.
Highlight: The Makoko Dream School is a floating school that provides accessible education tailored to the unique needs of children living in this water-based environment.
The article emphasizes the importance of education in urban slums for promoting peace, prosperity, and improved living conditions. It details the daily struggles faced by Makoko residents and how the floating school, along with a free water bus service, helps overcome transportation challenges for students.
Example: Many families in Makoko only have one canoe, which is needed for various purposes, making it difficult for children to reach schools on land.
The author uses various stylistic devices to engage readers and convey the urgency of addressing education issues in slums like Makoko. By providing detailed descriptions of life in the community and the positive impact of the Dream School, the article aims to inspire support and awareness for such initiatives.
One of the major obstacles to education in Makoko is transportation. The article details several factors that make it difficult for children to reach schools:
Highlight: The introduction of a free Makoko Dream School Bus (water bus) has significantly improved access to education for many children in the community.
This innovative solution demonstrates how understanding and addressing the specific needs of the community can lead to effective improvements in education access.
The article concludes by highlighting the positive impact of the Makoko Dream School and other innovations in the community. It emphasizes how these initiatives are helping to overcome the significant challenges faced by residents of this water-based slum.
Highlight: The success of the Makoko Dream School demonstrates the potential for tailored solutions to address education challenges in unique urban environments.
The author's approach encourages readers to consider how they might support similar projects or contribute to solving education issues in slum areas. By providing a detailed account of both the challenges and successful interventions, the article aims to inspire action and raise awareness about the importance of education in improving lives in urban slums.
Quote: "The Makoko Dream School Bus is free, so many more children can visit the school."
This final emphasis on successful innovations serves to leave readers with a sense of hope and possibility for positive change in communities like Makoko.
The author, Precious C. Daniel, employs several stylistic devices to engage readers and convey the importance of addressing education issues in slums like Makoko:
Example: The author asks, "How do you help to educate children who have only known life on water?" to immediately engage the reader in considering the unique challenges faced in Makoko.
The formal language and detailed descriptions lend credibility to the account, while the personal touches help readers empathize with the community's struggles.
The Makoko Dream School is presented as a innovative solution to the education challenges faced in this water-based community. The school is built to float on the water, making it accessible to children who have spent their entire lives in this aquatic environment.
Vocabulary: Floating school - An educational facility built on a platform that can rise and fall with water levels, designed to serve communities in flood-prone or water-based areas.
The curriculum of the Makoko Dream School includes:
This comprehensive education aims to provide students with the tools they need to improve their lives and potentially break the cycle of poverty.
Quote: "The Makoko Dream School is a school on water, one of the few schools where the children learn basic English language, Arithmetic, and Communication..."
The author emphasizes the importance of this tailored approach to education, as many children in Makoko lack experience with life on land and face dangers such as not knowing how to cross roads safely.
The text begins by highlighting the unique challenges faced by children in Makoko, a water-based slum in Lagos, Nigeria. The author poses a rhetorical question to engage readers: "How do you help to educate children who have only known life on water?" This sets the stage for discussing the importance of education in urban slums.
Highlight: Education is presented as a crucial tool for promoting peace, prosperity, and improved living conditions in slum areas.
The article emphasizes that slums are often viewed as "someone else's problem," highlighting the need for greater awareness and action. It introduces Makoko as a specific example of these challenges, providing background information from an ambassador to lend credibility to the account.
Definition: Slums are densely populated urban areas characterized by substandard housing, poverty, and lack of basic infrastructure.
The daily life of Makoko residents is described in detail, emphasizing that most activities take place on the water's surface. This unique environment presents significant obstacles to traditional education models, necessitating innovative solutions like the Makoko Dream School.
