There’s A Huge Educational Gap Between Africa And America – Stella Damasus

Actress Stella Damasus takes to Instagram to express her amazement in the huge educational quality gap between the way kids are taught in Africa and in the U.S.A. Stella Damasus

Using her daughter Angelica as an example, Damasus noted that in America students are taught deeply and stimulatingly, that drives their interest in research making them go the extra mile to learning more about the interest that gives them unwitting confidence and assuredness when they talk about it.

She wrote;

So, my daughter @angelicatooni and I, have regular conversations about social justice, psychology, real estate and entertainment. I know that I am smart but the way she talks about these things based on her studies and research shows me a huge gap between the way we were taught in Africa and the way they are taught in America.
”They are able to get them so interested in these subjects that these kids go real deep into research, arguments, articles, discussions etc. The boldness with which they are taught to defend their findings still amazes me. I pray that one day, African children in Africa will be taught to research and KNOW not just to PASS. I pray that they will RISE and take their place.”
