Read read then all and submit your own comments Wednesday Jul 25, 2007As A Haitian student in Haiti, I was very dumb I could not learn because of the languages. We adopted two languages, we use one at home which is Creole and the other one at school which is French.I got smarter when I went to an American School in Haiti. My surroundings were mostly English. What Haiti really needs are Libraries so the kids could experience reading and research.My dream is to open a Library for my people. I left Haiti for a better life.I am about to be ready to help my country I don't care if my own people kill me. My dream is to start if I die somebody's will continue.Haitians who are in America please don't forget where you come from.The white man don't own, we own the country. ]
Monday Mar 29, 2010Haiti's education system, in the words of its minister of education, has ``totally collapsed.'' Transportation and communication systems have been wiped out. Finance and industry have been crippled.
Tuesday Apr 06, 2010Some schools in Port-au-Prince have re-opened. The latest sign the region is finding a semblance of normalcy. Haitian authorities officially resumed the start of classes in this quake-battered capital. The Haitian government has made relaunching schools one of its top priorities, but has struggled to do so since the Jan. 12, 7.0-magnitude earthquake flattened hundreds of classrooms in Port-au-Prince and other cities. School buildings were among the structures most devastated by the earthquake. A post-disaster assessment said it will take $914 million to relaunch the education system.
Tuesday Apr 06, 2010There is no future for Haiti without a strong education system
Giving young Haitians an "accessible" education system and a role to play in rebuilding the earthquake-ravaged country to steer them away from a life of crime is essential to turn catastrophe into opportunity
Wednesday Apr 07, 2010The compounding of tradition of illiteracy, governmental priority and the lack of social & economic stability has made education unavailable. Poorer nations such as Haiti have been consumed by inadequate infrastructures that have disabled the ability to educate subsequent generations; as a result, illiteracy continues to plague their country.
Tuesday Apr 20, 2010How Haiti schools are doing. RonIt has been three months since the 7.0-magnitude earthquake destroyed nine of the state university's 13 campuses, and the country's largest institution of higher learning is still looking for tents and space to offer classes outdoors. Some universities have reached out to schools in the United States, such as Florida International University, to form partnerships and seek help. FIU has worked for months with the University of Haiti to assess its needs. Still, officials at both public and private universities in Haiti say that with food and shelter straining resources in a nation wracked with problems, higher learning is low on the list of priorities.
Thursday Apr 29, 2010No matter what, Haiti needs to prioritize school and education for the children after the earthquake. Schooling is the ticket to decent work, all the more so in a country like Haiti where unemployment is high and jobs are scarce. But there is also a more immediate reality. In the aftermath of disaster, school does more than promote learning. It gives children a sense of normalcy amid the chaos. It is a place of security and sanctuary. Above all, it offers hope for the future.
