FREE EDUCATION ON A ZERO BUDGET REQUIRES INTELLEGENT DEBATE

Students should not only ask for free education.
They should debate on the

Quality of education they need,

 Teachers training and

Where the money going to come from to teachers wages, training and establishment upkeep.

Remember one can not build a social structure on a zero budget.


Remember also a zero budget from the mouth of a politician means that the country is already deep in debt.

Money for education needs to be creamed from somewhere in our society in a way that it does not infringe on existing medical and social budgets or increase stress among the poor and elderly etc.

A country in debt means it will need to sell its soul at a later date to incur further loans and eventually it will fall prey to the highest bidder.

IMMUNIZE CHILDREN AGAINST DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE

SUBSTANCE ABUSE IMMUNIZATION.

EMPOWER ALL CHILDREN TO USE THEIR RIGHT TO SAY NO TO DRUGS

Immunize children against drug and alcohol abuse, with early education to give them the tools to say no to substances that overshadow their thinking ability.

Whenever there is an outbreak of any life-threatening disease, we are quick to develop drugs to immunize us against it spreading, but we seem to remain powerless against to increasing drug addictions in schools.

DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE DESTROY MORE LIVES THAN ANY DISEASE OR WAR IN HISTORY.

Drug and alcohol abuse destroys more lives than any disease or war in history, yet we do little to immunize the minds of our youth against addiction to foreign substances.

We can prevent people falling into the drug-trap by teaching little children about the side effects and control that addictive substance has over our lives.

THE WORLD NEEDS A GENERATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE IN FULL CONTROL OF THEIR THINKING ABILITIES AT ALL TIMES

The ability to ‘say no to drugs’ must be established in the consciousness of children long before they are subjected to it. Drug immunity education should begin at kindergarten and continue throughout their school life. It should be presented to the children by means of age related film, art and discussion.

Halfway through every television program there should be one free self empowerment advertisement. This should form part of the licence for a television company to operate in South Africa.

Our aim should be to create a generation of responsible young people who will be in full control of their mental capacities at all times.

ALCOHOL AND DRUGS ACT LIKE FOREIGN CONTROLLING ENTITIES.

It should be understood that someone who abuse alcohol or drugs, literally lends the control of his/her thinking ability to a stranger. - The drug or alcohol.

IF ONE IS NOT IN CHARGE OF ONES LIFE, SOMEONE OR SOMETHING ELSE IS

Taking drugs or alcohol is like lending ones most precious possession, ones brain power, to a stranger. Why trust a drug or any foreign substance willingly with ones actions.

Being ‘blind drunk’ could be viewed as a temporary form of suicide or coma.

Many people never fully recover from a coma.

People may undergo a change in personality, when the substance is in charge of their brains. Some people like the escape from reality. They like the temporary confidence that the new drug is giving.

Eventually the crash comes.

SUBSTANCE ABUSE CAUSES A DEADENING OF THE MIND EMOTIONS RESULTING IN DISEASE AND DESTRUCTION OF EVERYTHING THAT IS GOOD.

The body and emotions can take only so much abuse, and as time goes by the nervous system ceases to respond to logic and emotional stimuli. Other bodily organs may also fail and the person may find that he/she may be on the wrong side of the law, worse still – in jail with the only excuse that ‘It was not me who did that’

The fact is that it is you because when you lend your vehicle to a stranger, you should be responsible for traffic fines.

Your body is a vehicle driven by your intellect (your natural computer).

Say no to drugs and alcohol from the start. That "feeling" it gives you is the secret code that will imprison you. It infiltrates your desires and you decision making ability of your brain in the same way as a virus infects a computer. Before it crashes, there are signs of changed or diminished responsibility.

THE CRASH IS NEAR

Perhaps your parents became upset by your behavior. Perhaps they may even have said "I don't know you any more” When that happens, you have sold your sole to a stranger and all you will get in return are some memories of feeling in charge and having a good time. Soon, it may even feel better to sell your sole to drugs, because the real self may have more problems than it can cope with.

If you took drugs willingly, you are not the victim. You need to pay the price for your actions.

You wasted a God-given life and possibly the lives of other.

ENERGY ANATOMY

The new anatomy describes an ‘invisible’ magnetic protection layer or health aura ‘my space’ around the body.

One can experience an invasion of the ‘my space’ when someone stands too close. In ‘my space’.

Narcotic substances can create permanent weak spots or tears in the ‘my space’ magnetic protective aura.

This can lead to the possession or invasion of entities, insanity or disease.

Some alternative practices use drugs to loosen the consciousness from the confinement of the brain – going on trips. This remains a dangerous practice. Even under controlled circumstances.

Life is short enough; I cannot understand why people force themselves to experience other existences when they should be focusing on their reason for incarnating on this earth.

Low-cost broadband internet for schools

SOUTH Africa is involved in trials to provide low-cost broadband internet to rural schools.
 This project will make of unused parts of the television (TV) frequency spectrum to provide low-cost broadband internet.
 The feasibility study is being funded by Google.
It was launched in Cape Town on 25 March 2013in partnership with the tertiary Education and Research Network (Tenet) of SA and the Council for Scientific
and Industrial Research (CSIR).
Television white spaces
(TWVS) are unused spaces in the television spectrum that can be used for broadband.
 The advantage of white spaces is that low-frequency signals can travel longer distances. This ability makes the technology suitable to provide low-cost connectivity to rural communities with Poor telecoms infrastructure, according to Google.
 The above is an extract from an article in Cape Times 26-03-20

Ex Unitate Vires.

The above post is a synopsis of an article from The Cape Times 26-03-2003

Strike while the iron is hot!

While the television broadcasting corporation in South Africa is under scrutiny, it may be the right time to take responsibility the role television to can play in educating and guiding a nation.

What is regularly shown on television may have a long-term impact on the minds of the viewers.

“What we view on television today becomes our reality of tomorrow”

The power of audiovisual stimuli should never be underestimated; it can make or break a nation.

Television could be utilized to close a gap in education for both adults and children.

Taking responsibility, for the quality of programs to be offered to the public, need not break the budget.

There are many volunteers who will volunteer their service for little more than gratitude -- Volunteers who will welcome a chance to make a difference.

Free training and VBEE (Volunteer Broad-spectrum Economic Empowerment) points which could be cashed in for *government favors. (Like VBEE points in the piggy bank)

We could start moving away from financial rewards for all jobs done.


People no longer need to travel to capital cities and stay over in expensive hotels to conference, or having the inconvenience of leaving their home towns.

Conferencing can take place in 'virtual conference settings' using computerized electronic media.

Volunteers can overview what is being offered, to the public, on the television screens. A team of psychologists, elders and other experts can determine the effect the viewing will have on the nation.

They can be trained and provided with the necessary computer equipment to attend virtual meetings or conferences.

Electronic conferencing can be launched from local libraries if the volunteers are unable to participate due to insecure living conditions or computer-illiteracy.

There are many ways to get the elders and other experts from all over the world together to nation-build.

Local librarians and teachers can be trained to help the volunteers with this task. It could be considered their duty to nation-build without expecting remuneration.

A VBEE piggy-bank system can here also be implemented to be used as bargaining points for promotion.

Africans can help other Africans to become proudly African again. They can learn to respect themselves and others again. We have so many damaged people in the country and on the continent.

People are damaged because of their past experiences as freedom fighters, child soldiers, poverty, drugs, immorality, illiteracy and violence. They need to learn what is normal and what thoughts are healthy and what is destructive to them and their environment.

We need to heal in order to respect and honor again.
We need to reach out to fill education gaps when a system breaks down or is not yet in place.

Television can become a powerful nation-building tool.

A few local soaps with a morale building script, instead of one that is based on divorce, back stabbing, murder and cheating can provide a great influence on the minds of the viewers.

People follow the examples of their idols.

We need to create heroes with a high code of ethics -- Heroes who are nation-builders.

----------------------------------

* VBEE points could be given to people who make a difference without receiving financial rewards for their service.

Suggestions of how volunteers can be remunerated by using VBEE points (Volunteer Broad-based Economic Empowerment) points

VBEE points could be like money in a bank and could be electronically loaded onto a debit card.
VBEE points could be used to increase one’s VIP status.
VBEE points count towards job promotions.
VBEE currency could buy a percentage of their rates and taxes.
VBEE points could buy entry to government and municipal facilities like museums and reserves.
Etc.

Education for all and let the best student get the job.

Sunday, March 29, 2009

29 MARCH 2009

Black, white or colored empowerment is a form of racist empowerment.
It is time that we live up to the ideal to regard all people as equal.

South Africa can become economically strong if she employs the best people for all jobs - regardless of race or color. We need to develop racial color blindness. We all need to become, ‘the people’, Citizens of South Africa.

Students who did not qualify for further education, in the field of their passion, should be encouraged to return to school to improve the marks of their weak subjects. We do not need doctors who can not work out the right dosage of medication per body-weight, or the required infant formula per weight.

Downgrading maths and giving under-qualifying students university entrance, based on a color criterion, can lead to South African universities being regarded as sub standard and South African academics regarded as uneducated.

It may be time we replace black racist empowerment with non-racist economic empowerment.

Today black empowerment gives stupid kids from private schools -who had all the educational opportunities they needed - preference to higher education, while students with top grades, and the ability to become good managers, are forced into career paths for which they hold no interest and does not challenge their capabilities.

It is time we empower the poor and under-privileged students, regardless of race and color.

In South Africa we already have the infrastructure for economic empowerment in place. We just need to take racism out of it. There should never be a need for any person to be classified as any race. The only classification we need is one of Citizenship.

We can grow a strong economy again. It was the persistent divide within the country that destroyed our opportunity to count among the first world nations. We were once the leading African nation, but unfair and ludicrous policies are in a process of leveling that lead. We do not need any more stupid people in high places. It is only hard work honesty and intelligent action that can save us.

We do not need bosses who are milking a company while they wait to be headhunted to milk another company with a bigger bounty.

Where the education system fails, we could replace it with an on-line electronic educational system. The technology is there for that kind of quality education to be available for each and everyone. School computers could be fitted with indestructible tracking devices that record the history of finger print access, face recognition and keystroke activity off-line.

• This system of supervision is needed for student identification during tests,
• to determine how long a student spends on subjects
• as well as making it difficult for thieves to get away with computer theft.

Computer based education can bridge the language barrier.


To help the teachers there can be a system where students from a higher grade supervise one or more students from a lower grade on-line.
The students ability to improve his rank in the class (not necessary the grade) could earn marks towards the final examination of his supervisor.
The ability to supervise and guide workers is an important quality students can become familiar with at an early age.

That means that if your understudy gets the tenth highest marks in the first test and improves to fifth place throughout the year, you should share his success as well as your own student educator whose job it is to supervise your studies as well as the way you supervise the studies of those under you.
School children can become familiar with the hierarchical structure in companies while still at school.

First year university students can supervise the online performance of final year high school students.

This kind of system can bridge the lack of qualified teachers in Africa.

School computers need not be stand alone devices, but can be built as dedicated educational devices which are attached to a mainframe and of no commercial value in order to minimize theft and corruption.
