standard schools mass produce workers,
We just rolled out a new curriculum that actually gets it. they're pairing tech and science with deep local heritage and indigenous languages.
language is the operating system of a culture. if you just download someone else's mental models you can only build what they already built.
root yourself in your specific knowledge, then use tech for leverage.

GOVERNMENT has directed all private schools to implement the Heritage-Based Curriculum (HBC), making it mandatory across Zimbabwe’s education system with immediate effect. f.mtr.cool/ldstclliir

@freemanchari They need to adjust their conditioning programs to match the current physical demands. 3-4hrs/day are spent on physical activities after all, it's not that Intense😅

I think professional football should have age limits or at least make it that if you are under 23, you can only play 1 game a week. I think these kids are being overused. There may not be a yet scientific basis for age as a factor but I think it shld be a cause for concern

@Sebastiangary1 Hey Seb, been doing a bit of reading on indigenous African scripts for my presentation tomorrow, and I came across the Bassa Vah script you've been working on. I'm curious to know whether this script was originally African or if it was borrowed and adapted to become African.
English
@jobosonchisa Origins seem obscure. My POV though, synthesizing from various sources, it is originally Afrikan. Initially created as an ideographic script in Afrika, simplified by Bassa slaves in the Americas, and in Liberia, Dr Lewis revived & refined it into the present alphabetic script.

I've included Somali umlaut vowels, crucial for word pronunciations & meaning, that do not have Unicode codepoints yet, as contextual alternates.

@Sebastiangary1 Semi-serifs do that! Something Evert Bloemsma wrestled with while developing Avance.

You will notice that the forms seem to be falling backwards. This is an illusion that Evert Bloemsma once struggled with. His Avance (2000) was the first time he started incorporating serifs into his work, and he was not happy with the backslant illusion from the semi-serifs. >>

@hhpapazian 🙌🏾 Interesting...the solution is even more intriguing, it's crazy how such minor detail changes can have significant effects👌🏾
