Dear participants,

We have started to receive comments about Theme 2, Migrations, which we hope will be the beginning of a productive and propositional dialogue.
This is the case of Madam Shaheen Attiq-ur-Rahman from Paquistan, and Ndenyele Wilson Omalenge.

We are sure that there will be for this theme, in the same way as there were for literacy, experiences and analysis to share. We hope that you will
participate!

Greetings,

Cecilia Fernández

(We want to remind you that the comments and articles on literacy that we have received and that circulated in the original language are being
translated and will be uploaded soon into the ICAE website where they will be accesible in the three languages).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Comments by Ndenyele Wilson Omalenge

Dear All,

I wish to make the following observation on the second theme of the Seminar,'Migrations'

In the recent past with the forces of globalisation migration both forced or voluntary has been reality a round the world as such in my view it is very important that all stakeholders should come up with workable strategies that can address the needs for adult literacy.The governments and civil societies should take the lead in developing policies and implementation of the literacy programs while support should come from both local and international institutions(IMF,World Bank etc). But the key to success of the adult literacy lies with the learners ability and willingness to learn.

My experience is that most persons associate learning with getting good job opportinities after the training. In reality literacy will help on intergrate easily in new living environments and can improve understanding among people.

As case in point is the many adults who migrate to countries (mostly Europe and North America) find it difficult to settle down because they dont  understand the languages of the host nations.
 

Thank you very much for the space and forum

Best regards

Ndenyele Wilson Omalenge

We do hope that 'migration' also includes the rural-urban one, where Men often leave for the city looking for work & most women are left behind to look after familes? Also it should include the women who leave thier homes to work in the more 'well-off' counties like the UAE & the USA?
