CREATING SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS IS A SIGN TO GLOBAL SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

As the UN is screaming to achieve the sustainable development social goals working to promote school partnership could be one of the missing gap many developed countries aren’t embracing, despite immigration issues taking strong stand, I think G8 countries should agree with me have failed to surround themselves with hard working nations instead of pool of wanting economies. The opinions in this article are entirely my how I see the world but again how I could feel rich countries should begin understanding how to do things.

The good thing is that none of the decisions makers today hasn’t attend school my humble question is that how have you leveraged the genius brains in your schools to follow your footsteps how are you using them to impact the world’s threatening challenges. If rich countries welcome partnerships the world could be better place to live in, no need for terrorism but everywhere you go people are dreaming of the good life they admire on media platforms and this should be achieved by creating meaningful friendship.

I want to assure you in life everyone is useful but the situations we come from depicted our status of living. But organizing partnership with the other schools around the world makes the world a global village that helps young students learn about global issues and how what seems challenging can be discussed in class without organizing conferences in expensive locations around the world with key personalities that not only have personal issues but again with different self motives leading to long lasting delay in finding working solutions.

For example immigration is alone has claimed countless souls with much data not publicized for the world to know due to political reasons but undocumented people are dying in the course of seeking green pasture elsewhere. We should find ways the world should focus of economic empowerment; we should help people know where ever they live GOD has the best plans for them. No need of being put in ramshackle standardized boats/ships in the course of promising them employment elsewhere. Here in Uganda the Pearl of Africa my fellow countrymen are going to seek employment to support their families, I call this

MODERN SLAVERY.

Rich nations are failing to empower governments from developing countries, where immigration is high to ensure that infrastructure is put in place such that people should not believe that services, they need are in other countries leading to unemployment. The school going population is relatively small compared to statistics shared per various developing nations and one of the affecting challenges is poverty. Through School Partnerships students have the opportunity to carry out joint curriculum projects, developing skills in teamwork, critical thinking, and acquiring a global outlook. Children have the opportunity to share with their peers, what is happening to their nations and share solutions to what they think can be the best methodologies to use by their leaders right from the grassroots.

International Schools Partnership {ISP} creating school partnerships to help unknown schools in Uganda’s villages and slums plus elsewhere to avail the young pupils the opportunity to learn from each other.

ISP is establishing unique approach where through partnerships partner schools will have to share long equitable partnership with other schools that will involve exchange visits availing the opportunity for foreign schools get the opportunity to learn all about cultures and how grassroots development can be equitably achieved.

We believe ISP school partnership program will always create forum to ensure the partnership not only benefit schools but also the diverse communities, we shall always organize conducive environment for learning and vocational skilling to school going pupils and students. Through our planned program the organization hopes the love and care shared with our foreign friends will increase students' engagement in their learning about curriculum subjects and other societies, thereby becoming more productive global citizens that will help show case great impact to reduce issues of immigration, appalling poverty, unhealthy conditions simply because the new generation will think like that development can happen elsewhere.

Our understanding of ISP school partnership program is to ensure that school going pupils and students, teaching staffs get the opportunity to learn what is happening in other countries in terms of education, living and working. Children also get the opportunity to learn about governance, human rights.

Through ISP education campaign “Keep a child in school” we profile schools to critically get to learn more about local schools the challenges and achievements the organization get the opportunity to know the number of deprived families that through there appalling poverty conditions are affecting both directly and indirectly the education of their children.

Through the campaign the organization is organizing enterprise development workshops to ensure that member schools all unemployed parents are trained through entrepreneurship skills and business management skills such that once they get the opportunity to start business can effectively support their families.ISP is trying to ensure that the education of new generation is supported at all levels to ensure that street children are reduced.

As an organization through school partnership, foreign schools can help drastically in development of education at the grassroots through creating programs that help to build school infrastructures to enhance development of quality education, helping hundreds of school children and students study good school environment and build capacity of and provide support to teachers and school administrators.

ISP partner schools through Keep A child in school campaign will volunteer to support organize fundraise campaign annually to support the various both public and private institutions school and children needs like education scholastic necessities that need to be distributed to the ISP village and slum schools. TOMS shoe making company donated back to school shoes that were donated to hundreds of school going pupils right from the slum communities in Bwaise to far to reach villages locations like kalangala district

ISP has helped to donate food to local schools in far to reach villages that are facing scarcity in food to support welfare. But with school partnership we believe in our project “My crop My Education” we shall get partner schools willing to help village schools practice quality farming thus to increase food production and reservation for school welfare and thus also marketing such that the revenue is turned to be payment for school dues to identified and approved school pupils and students unable to meet school needs and supporting the introduction of new innovative programs that in turn can avail employment communities hence reducing dependency donations.

Intercultural learning is essential in the course of strengthening collaborative relationship between partnering primary and secondary schools, communities and city twining. Through ISP school partnership we have great hope that our small towns will forge relationship with cities in other countries through ISP city twining program that will soon be unveil all intended to create conducive environment for children to keep in child school.

School Partnerships not only help foreign generations to learn all about cultures and do research but also contribute to the improvement of the quality of teaching and learning in developing nations like Uganda. Not only school going pupils and students are excited to talk, chat and laugh with omuzungu {white} but also their Teachers are always excited to learn from the white teachers that accompany students.
