Moun toupatou nan mond lan rekonèt epi apresye travay n ap fè a ak istwa nou pataje yo. Gade sa lòt moun ap di sou mouvman APA a.
Lè m resevwa kesyon sou peyi nou Ayiti, se mo “odas” ki kapab itilize:
Odas pou kanpe anfas lòd mondyal, ki te makonnen ak esklavaj ak opresyon.
Odas pou vini premye repiblik nwa nan monn lan.
Bring yourself back to your elementary school days, learning the basic foundations for an education: becoming familiar with the alphabet, simple math equations, and more broadly learning how to engage with the world and those around you. Now, imagine if all of these lessons were taught in a language not your own. In fact, in a language spoken only by 5% of people in your country (2021, Foreign Policy). This is the reality for most Haitian children enrolled in their local education system, burdened with the legacy of French colonialism.
I was born in Haiti and came to the United States when I was 11 years old. Haiti is a beautiful country, and my childhood, in many ways, was terrific. However, I have also seen first-hand the challenges facing the Haitian education system, including low enrollment, poor literacy rates and a shortage of trained teachers.
