Learning Journeys - Studying Abroad

Fauzia Issaka is a development professional pursuing a doctoral degree in the United Kingdom. As a teaching assistant currently in Ghana, she shares professional transition tips and makes a case for students in ongoing on-campus programs that have turned into distance-learning offerings during these times. Her submissions interrogate how parents and teachers may vet the learning competence of their wards this academic year due to the challenges of homeschooling during the pandemic. To keep in touch find her, Fauzia Issaka, on LinkedIn.

Episode 3 - This episode engages 3 African professionals, 2 of whom are Ph.D. candidates: Zinhle Mkhabela, a Measurement and Evaluation practitioner in South Africa, Kwabena Boateng, a collaborator on Pan-African education ecosystems in the United States, and Fauzia Issaka, an international development consultant & doctoral student in the United Kingdom.

We hear their perspectives on the challenges the pandemic has presented in their own academic lives - as well their students; pain-points in digital access on educational systems; and the opportunities in future-casting post-COVID educational journeys that highlight solutions among likely allies. With cross-collaborative programs with universities on the African continent and Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the United States of America as a primary example. While you listen to this edition, you might as well grab a cup, lean back, and lean-in to their intriguing insights.
