No good deed goes unpunished in Uganda:
Uganda’s High Court has described the Bridge International Academies (BIA) — which is funded by the likes of Microsoft’s Bill Gates and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg — 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.
“The Ministry does not know what is being taught in these schools which is a point of concern to (the) government,” Mutazindwa said.
I’m not sure how to take this. On one hand it could be a case of “Africa wins again”; on the other, the Western do-gooders are probably teaching the kids the usual stuff: that their life goal should be to move to a first world country and become trans-gendered sex workers.
It might be too that the schools teach that homosexuality is OK?
