Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg are two investors in Bridge International Academies. But in Uganda, the group's 63 schools have been "ordered to shut down in a matter of weeks, leaving the lives of thousands of pupils in limbo."
An anonymous reader quotes CNN:
Uganda's High Court has described the Bridge International Academies...as unsanitary and unqualified, and has ordered it to close its doors in December because it ignored Uganda's national standards and put the "life and safety" of its 12,000 young students on the line. The Director of Education Standards for the Ministry, Huzaifa Mutazindwa, told CNN that the nursery and primary schools were not licensed, the teachers weren't qualified and that there was no record of its curriculum being approved.
Bridge's Uganda director denies the allegations, says the government hasn't even granted them an audience, and "suggested that the opposition against BIA was because the campuses competed against local state-run and private schools," according to CNN. Their reporter also found two educator advocates who complained that Bridge's schools were actually a privatized, profit-making entity targeting the poor. There's strong arguments on both sides, but it's all raising a lot of questions about how technology should be used in school programs, as well as how they should be funded.
What we have here is a failure to bribe the right official.
Its pretty bad when you can’t even meet Uganda’s lax standards
Who knows what the globalists are up to. They are most likely up to no good.
Possibly not too.
Uganda, like most of Africa, is not homosexual friendly.
If they were trying to push anything close to the American "sexual education" curriculum then it is not surprising they got their doors shut.
My intuition says Uganda realizes the culture of death the Leftists Gates and Zuckerberg force onto their students...not to mention, human medical experimentation.
The FB guy sent $100M to NJ schools and they still failed. Maybe education is not his thing.
1. didn’t grease the right palm
OR
2. said homo stuff
We had a family friend, a doctor, who was obsessed with Africa for a time. The standards for going there and doctoring were SKY high. It later turned out you simply had to PAY the right person and it didn’t matter if you were drooling and cross-eyed —that person passed.
She finally got there, did a little coal burning, got involved with an African guy.
She later flee the country, leaving all her stuff there.
Yeah I think Uganda’s government follows the Westminster Confession to some degree so I can see them being against leftist curriculum. Good for Uganda. Keep your country try like you want it.
So do these two billionaires get to keep their tax write-offs?
Didn’t Uganda cut the AIDS infection rate by promoting abstinence and monogamy?
There is a lot of government corruption in Uganda.
Europeans should have never intervened into the continent.
The money to Newark was stolen
The cartel (UFT) stole the money
I was watching an interview of Bill Gates the other day. It was like listening to paint dry.
Yes, probably trying to mainstream sexual promiscuity and faggotry.
The money to Newark wasn’t “stolen”; it was used exactly as intended (to pass a “donation” THROUGH the teachers’ union to the Democratic Party).
