Happy to have you well more introduction to duke and that is for you to hear you are in the comments section were talking about education in Northern Nigeria you can comment right here and you too can be in the stream rosie 1st of all made the architect it gives us a really good view of whats happening in Northern Nigeria and to youngsters there and to the Education System that very briefly tell us what the film is about a minute going to play a little bit of the train. The ok suit is really. Who is 36 years old very young in her. Balance 5 years ago to design of what he calls or being called medicine. Ball or saying this is where people are uncertain thoughts around the neck. We against western education. We should find for the sake of international donors. 5 years ago building 24 schools in medical area and designing for 20 around the state even though the insurgency is still raging in the will areas. Ok its a great set up lets take a look at the trial. Because i want her to make us have some kind of trouble which is thats going to be considering. Whether you believe the other thats going to pull god or anyone not to it was a winter i dont know what i was. Going to do was read my book what i mean she didnt seem so i mean you know what its like just in that ill be home that has been one that has made Good Progress in. Education when i won his goes go to schools thats a rose he set us up with this film looking at building schools i dont want to give away what happens in a document she rosie but this idea of not enough schools in Northern Nigeria explain why and if School Building is going to help. Sue civically in all her job is in the northeast nigeria theyve been hit by this insurgency before by barbara they say to create an Islamic State is being fulfilled for its own larry and he is. Over the teachers earth to form of the children thousands who are children have been. Approved and also 1400. Been destroyed by the insurgents since around 2011 when that any. Power declared war on western education so the fight is about burning down many schools. The most should remember that most in this insurgency you know around the world was the nappanee of these 200 schoolgirls some less cool also doris a. Government Girls Secondary School and so the sea. Was very hes not doing it like me over the course of you know. 20 years or so this indicated across Northern Nigeria is not just North East Nigeria this decade. We process all in many nigeria and this is really led to many people who have the resources to be sending their children to Public Schools while the private schools are up and schools to. Make bookie get this feels like its in education when i create schools and kids can actually things it please go to school how is this project helping. If the debt isnt you know very fantastic specially because we know that if schools are not to have been able. Theres nowhere for children to go to school and that is also considering the 5 that even when we think of technology as the i think we should be. A lot of those children and thats community kind of. Technology but i would like to see if that whether you talk about the top on the on schools i talked to. One law yes will d contextualize it its been. My advice is. These are also situations that are ways that you know all the things in the 5 that schools can be attacked and when you look at it. Which is it its and then once again you would see how that went on stakes in what we believe basically at systematic only. Schools or who want 6000000 children have been affected and the results of these National Debt out to 6000 of those children that are affected ag else going on but i guess the route 44220000 go up 230000 some now are affected but let me close my thoughts when i seen that in this conversation with their we had 80 of covina 19 him being the question of 6 a man. I was aware. That when we say its a waste thats how its spent you know child and keisha we see how a lot of girls. Access to adequate michelle and salt of the day interest because. Many of those up project said not so good its all going to school all schools these are the result of seeing schools that do nothing to him because theyre. Probably not. Yours of course. Health consequences are we more or less a lot of go there who are still being sexually abused are there bad news out there is a sure are absolutely perception issue that we are. In charge of education is really on the. Lower the way that we really understand Northern Nigeria from a new space fact if it is looking at and their activities and rosie really covered it well as i how do we get these young people out of the book of iran and then doing something thats very constructive theyre the summa governor of borno state described. As being the young man is being pregnant with id is just such a great visual but having no way to share those ideas how do you see. In the context of where we are in t 20 and then impacting kids school kids out of school because a covert. I mean just. That it was an incredible suit and. Education for me is the most portent weapon that to endow maine and finally defeat book. But unfortunately education is a long term investment. While politicians talk think in election cycles and unless we have that and right kind of investment into education they need to be very difficult to get books out of military and the military air force should continue of course theyre important explicitly because that would contend the violence but addresses in the root causes of boko haram need my safe investment in education and i think thats part of what we see in the film. That you just spoke about but wait and then that we need. Much more than just coffee talk Capital Investment into it we need investment into the money power by employing 25 it teaches and what you get it we would savvis conditions we need excellent managers and administrators strut i mean is that the billions and men 10 dumb and we need continued investment into education if we were. To now that the point is that i am and is pregnant with 8 years as the governor rightly said the former governor i should say but he is an example of the thousands of night g. B. N. You with that how many to make change in that n. T. And in whose we stands people who were born before independence and who have exhausted their ideas without taking our country anywhere so what i would see into that owned. In nigeria is to give way to young people like ahmed the governor has sent an exam. And i think more people should be given an opportunity young people in this state and we have done across nigeria we have been intense of thousands they are hungry to make changes. With ideas but there is no opportunity it cant our exit in politics because of capital invested men network and skin in and destroy young for that and i think this is a wake up all for an amputee and politicians to give the young generation an opportunity to impact on lives in their communities. I guess we can spend a week talking about the issues impacting not is education over nigeria but 9 tyria i want to pivot a little bit because youll tuning would which is really tackling some of those big challenges for instance up read about who is an architect he talks about what he has in terms of his skill set that will change the level of education that is available for youngsters lets have a listen to him he spoke to us a little bit earlier building a guinness book just particularly in the not history you know of nigeria is the most part which will for a long time it is this i guess bill clinton is a yes but what has destroyed over our antos in 400 schools and firsthand its what grows over the 1000000 children or gently need access to education and in the history you know of Nigeria Education is the only point that plays significant role in their lives it housed them on their trauma it also helps them to have hopes about future so the expansion of education up a salute is into region is the best response to what the times actions to stick with it kitchen. Rosie i have a question for you from the roche events to the 80 and he says how would this education protect the students from book a home rom especially goals the go child deals with society no education as to who emphasis on early marriage and then being baby factories and then some and then some and then some rosy how do you deal with that. Then i guess one of the 1st questions that i asked son it was how he had integrated security into is designs. But in the film it was if you have your 2 new habits you go to do a degree reason so us at least. They all the. Researcher by not only height but see they have a double fence many of them and. They are made a curious ritual. Cancelable around its heavily fortified is heavy presence. And so i think that was really you know behind thinking when he decided to concentrate on city because he felt that it was better. Than now and then the outlying areas it is true there is a very heavy military presence there in terms of some of the perennial problems facing children arent sick girls and. Children in. Nigeria issues that are poverty its hard. Ultimately i just say education is the best rate its her. And it isnt the bride price it is you know its a commercial exchange ultimately is that you know who access to education always. Opens and saying at least. Wait you know katie the next generation are there for. Our early. Ok ok im just going to tell you that we hear you so if you could sit back and youll see it would be a come back to you so sunny says on you tube look around has unleashed terror on the Education Sector especially girls schools the federal government is however china its best to determine in ending the insurgency successes have been recorded to lama is that a positive approach is not a positive comment are you seeing that. Yes so just to bring a bit off more context lets understand that boko haram say kitchen is not accidental reject in education and attacking it at the very oh oke book or adams ideology of the group is. Founded on this head straight for Western State education and they used Different Reasons in their rhetorics in that it deliberate attack and i made this the point because that at some places that i typed that can be seen as 10 jenji that where there isnt but if you case and education and schools because they are schools and education and as the comment to pass it yes the federal government did. This is against boko haram we knew that there were about 24 local governments in the hands of. The that territory has shrunk but boko haram immense imminent threats and what we have seen in the last saw is these increases in the fist occasion on the part of the group we recorded some of them with spectacle attacks in chat not judea and media in the last 10 months and schools are not secure. And if we continue to see the incidents like the one we saw in chibok which was about 6 years ago the one. Where 111. 00 goes where taking i mean at at at midday at noon i mean they were taken just like that now if we continue to see those kinds of attacks we might have the putins we might have the infrastructure but theyll get nobody to show up in those schools needs to be stepped out stepped up and by how the International Organizations would look at i mean you can do that in schools it was a free zone in the northeastern part of nigeria and i dont they looked at me and i know boko haram is a very difficult group but im too. Oh my god now but there could be some home or some kind of art that i mean no course the actions that lead to these impact on schools on hospitals and that lamentably places to us since theres a sense in men that there are still problems theyre asked to tell and its out there and we need to confront them ok i see you nodding let me share this view and then and then you can jump back into a conversation main fight is so many says the question is what kind of education are young says able to have in Northern Nigeria you have had some successes with improving the Education System of young people share those with us ok go ahead thank you. Talk about education. And well talk about it china. For a moment and there is a book how tight for a moment again. Bookie how tight for a moment sympathy can hear me but you know tight for a moment were not hearing you clearly and i really want to hear you can refresh your browser while i go to. A sort that takes us back to this International Day to protect education from attack because i went to unicef and they have this in terms of why this day was important why we should be thinking about not just the nigerian context but in the global context is have a listen to the proclamation of the Magna International the Productivity Commission for attacks and sending a receipt regarding the embargoes or see what in. Preseason of projects can see for students in egypt and our enemies on the challenge of free israel children living in countries created by a graphics. Excuse me for my acronym the un i couldnt mix up i should a setting yes go and that brings us back to the film the witness fill out read the architect being connected to this idea of protecting education from attack rosie why is a day like september the knife where children around the world are recognized for the difficulties that are having to get into school to be well educated why is it important from your perspective. Especially important this year circle mentioned earlier because the code. In many ways is made everybody who was anywhere in the world of the subject its a lot and realize the importance of education are important is for their children so for them to surveillance well but then of course this is. 2020. Rewinded 2890. 00 there was still too many pockets in the world whether syria or iraq nigeria mexico west schools are coming under. The most interesting thing so far the. Suggestion by people other than actually maybe. I dont know this is a national day and actually look at ways to against. Groups to vet. Schools you have this really feel that this is just this is the 1st day for the protection of. Education but i feel that you whats great about it east that it is you know. A century conversation in a year where almost every school has been affected by it and that education of course has been affected and disrupted. And you just go back to look at this this idea of this this day you knew you taught us how many different areas the youngsters at the Education System in nigeria is juggling with trying to cope with how does it how does a day as a unesco day help with that understanding. I think you know one key thing in about i mean for national of the ladies is the fact that it helps also indicates the bleak on what the or what the issues or the conciseness how are we its how its all sold to understand be context or do you mean i need to use all different groups of people and when we look at this day that we commemorate him for the 1st time the internationally its a good sector took a shot. Thats one day that weve weve never heard and a lot of people still do not understand what the issues are and so a day like this helps us to sensitize the public like you know we are doing it also helps us to more be life fully its who we are you know all of their last wed at the International Level to National Level or do so and there but most importantly it helps i still say leave makes senate wait i know you for the achievements of humanity and we cant know what the architect as though and what we
