A million years ago, my school had us germinate a seed as part of our early science education, but didn't somebody bring up that the effect of pushes like these (particularly all the other vocational training people are advocating for in the reblog chain) is that kids in poorer schools, particularly black and brown areas, *only* get taught to be mechanics or hairdressers or what have you and can't seek out careers in other fields because they literally do not have the qualifications that other eighteen year olds have. Eighteen is a pretty young age. You don't have to know *everything* you're ever going to use in life when you leave school. You have the rest of your life to do that. It's better for schools to teach the essentials, to present kids with a broad range of subjects and ideas so they themselves can figure out what ideas or skills they might want to pursue in the future. And it's much easier to learn how to cook or how to fix a car from a youtube video than it is to learn mathematics that way. Because one is easy to learn and one is not.

The pandemic has exacerbated pre-existing inequalities in accessing quality education in Kenya, especially among vulnerable students due to economic challenges and discrimination. Art Kids Foundation (@artkidsfoundationkenya) is a non-profit organization supporting students in Kibera and girls escaping child marriage and female genital mutilation in Kajiado and West Pokot counties in Kenya. Through the Young Minds Scholarship Program, Art Kids offers full-tuition scholarships to bright students to continue their studies at the high school/university level and achieve their full potential. To these youth, this is a life-changing opportunity that may have otherwise been impossible to access. Due to financial hardship, many students in Kenya don't complete their secondary education. For girls in areas where female genital mutilation is still practised, this can mean early marriage, teenage pregnancy and severe injury that can be deadly. I have donated three of my images as prints to support the fundraising efforts and help change the lives of these students striving to reshape their lives. 100% of the proceeds of each print sale goes to the scholarship program.

The Cost of Medical School in Africa: A Comprehensive Guide

The Cost of Medical School in Africa

Introduction

Medical school is a significant investment, both financially and academically. The cost of medical school can vary depending on the country and the institution. In Africa, the cost of medical school can range from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars per year.

This guide will provide a comprehensive overview of the cost of medical school in Africa. We will cover tuition, fees, living expenses, and financial aid options. We will also discuss some of the most affordable medical schools in Africa.

Tuition and Fees

Tuition and fees are the two largest expenses associated with medical school. Tuition is the cost of instruction, while fees cover other costs such as registration, library access, and student services. Tuition for medical school in Africa can vary depending on the country and the institution. In general, public medical schools are more affordable than private medical schools.

Why Study Medicine In Africa? Medical schools in Africa offer a cost-effective alternative, with affordable tuition and fees, making quality medical education accessible to a diverse range of students. For example, the average tuition for a public medical school in South Africa is around R50,000 per year, while the average tuition for a private medical school is around R80,000 per year.

In Egypt, the average tuition for a public medical school is around LE10,000 per year, while the average tuition for a private medical school is around LE50,000 per year.

Living Expenses

Living expenses are another important consideration when budgeting for medical school. Living expenses can include housing, food, transportation, and textbooks. The cost of living expenses can vary depending on the country and the city where you attend medical school. In general, the cost of living in major cities is higher than the cost of living in rural areas.

For example, the average cost of living for a medical student in Cape Town, South Africa is around R10,000 per month. The average cost of living for a medical student in Cairo, Egypt is around LE5,000 per month.

Financial Aid Options

There are a number of financial aid options available to help medical students pay for their education. These options include scholarships, bursaries, and loans. Scholarships and bursaries are typically awarded based on merit or financial need. Loans are typically repaid after graduation. In Africa, there are various financial aid options available to help medical students cover the costs of their education, including scholarships, bursaries, and loans, with scholarships for medical studies in Africa often being awarded based on academic merit and a commitment to serving underserved communities.

There are a number of organizations that offer financial aid to medical students in Africa. Some of these organizations include:

The African Development Bank

The World Health Organization

The Mastercard Foundation

The Aga Khan Foundation

Most Affordable Medical Schools in Africa

Here is a list of some of the most affordable medical schools in Africa:

Makerere University School of Medicine (Uganda)

Texila America University (Zambia)

University of Ghana Medical School (Ghana)

University of Nairobi School of Medicine (Kenya)

Moi University School of Medicine (Kenya)

University of Ibadan College of Medicine (Nigeria)

University of Nigeria, Nsukka College of Medicine (Nigeria)

Cairo University Faculty of Medicine (Egypt)

Ain Shams University Faculty of Medicine (Egypt)

Global Health Initiatives

Medical Education Advancement in Africa has enabled students to actively engage in global health initiatives and research, offering them the chance to contribute to projects addressing critical global health issues and fostering international collaborations and promising career prospects.

Conclusion

The cost of medical school in Africa can vary depending on the country and the institution. In general, public medical schools are more affordable than private medical schools. There are a number of financial aid options available to help medical students pay for their education. If you are considering studying medicine in Africa, be sure to research the cost of tuition, fees, and living expenses at different institutions. You should also contact financial aid offices to learn more about available scholarships, bursaries, and loans.

The incredible story of Hilde Back and Chris Mburu, showing how even small acts of kindness can touch many lives in ways entirely unforeseen, is especially timely for today's World Kindness Day. When she was a girl, a stranger's kindness saved Hilde Back's life by helping her to escape to Sweden from Nazi Germany where both her parents died in concentration camps. Back, who passed away last year at the age of 99, eventually became a teacher and, remembering her days as a Jewish girl in Germany when she was denied the opportunity to attend school under the Nazi Nuremburg Laws, she decided to pay for the education of a child who would otherwise not have a chance to go to school. The child she sponsored was Chris Mburu.

Chris grew up in a poor family in rural Kenya whose family could not afford to pay the small tuition fee required for children to continue their studies beyond elementary school. Due to his excellent grades, he was selected for participation in a Swedish sponsorship program and Hilde paid his way through secondary school. Chris excelled in school and went on to earn degrees from the University of Nairobi and Harvard Law School.

In order to help other talented children from poor families continue their studies at secondary school, Chris created a foundation in 2001. With the support of the Swedish Ambassador in Kenya, Chris was able to track down the benefactor who had transformed his life and named the foundation in her honor: The Hilde Back Education Fund.

Hilde's small act of kindness grew in ways that she never could have imagined -- The Fund has now helped over 900 children in Kenya continue their studies and her sponsored child has gone on to become an attorney and human rights advocate for the United Nations. In 2012, Hilde had the opportunity to travel to Kenya with Chris and celebrate her 90th birthday by meeting many of the children whose lives have been changed by the foundation that bears her name.

A Mighty Girl 

[literateleah]

help a black girl get to college! the fundraiser (as of 5-6-21) reads as follows:

“Hello! My name is Nairobi Toombs, and I'm a high school student trying to finance my education at the American University of Paris. I've been on the honor roll for all of high school while being a part of clubs and taking care of my brother. I run an organization called Fempowerment Chicago and we host monthly fundraisers and events to promote success within BIPOC communities. Also, I have a jewelry business where I sell creative beaded jewelry, out of necklaces from thrift stores or donations to me and it's been steady since the beginning of quarantine. Even with all of my success in and out of school, college is still out of reach for me financially. My dream is to work in fashion marketing and that's why I feel that I should go to a university in Paris. The American University of Paris is a global institution that brings students from all over the world, which will provide me with an international perspective that will be invaluable. They have connections with many fashion industry partners which I will take advantage of as my segue into the fashion world. I've received a 50% scholarship but this still leaves a significant financial burden on my family. My brother and I come from a single-parent household, where my mother has supported us solely on her income for our entire lives. As a result of my father's schizophrenia, he hasn't been able to support us in any way. I hope that you can donate to help me in this endeavor as any small amount helps. The necessary payments are below.

Tuition: $10,202/semester

Housing: $7,592/semester

I've worked hard throughout high school so that I could have this opportunity and would hate to not be able to follow my dreams as a result of finances. Thank you.”

California girds for most dangerous fire weather of year (AP) California, which has endured its worst wildfire season in history, is bracing for the most dangerous winds of the year, a forecast that prompted the largest utility to announce plans to cut power Sunday to nearly 1 million people to guard against its equipment sparking new blazes. Pacific Gas & Electric Co. said the outages would start in far Northern California and ultimately could affect 386,000 customers in 38 counties, with many of the shutoffs concentrated in the San Francisco Bay Area. At a Saturday night briefing, utility officials said high winds were expected to arrive midday Sunday and reach 40 to 60 mph (64 to 97 kph) with higher gusts in the mountains. Winds that strong can topple trees and send branches into power lines. Some of the largest and deadliest fires in recent years were started by utility equipment being damaged by high winds, so PG&E has been aggressive about pre-emptively cutting power when fire conditions are most dangerous. This will be the fifth time PG&E has cut power to customers this year and by far the largest shutdown.

Tropical Storm Zeta to threaten Gulf Coast as 2020 ties record for most named storms (Washington Post) Tropical Storm Zeta formed in the western Caribbean very early Sunday morning and is set to drift north and unleash wind, heavy rainfall and, potentially, ocean surge concerns as it approaches the U.S. Gulf Coast Tuesday night and Wednesday. Zeta becomes the record-tying 27th named storm of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, matching 2005 for the most names used in a season. Zeta is most likely to come ashore the Gulf Coast on Wednesday at tropical-storm strength, but there’s an outside chance that it could cross the coast as a hurricane. According to the Hurricane Center, Zeta “could bring storm surge, rainfall, and wind impacts to areas from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle.”

Foreign students show less zeal for US since Trump took over (AP) On a recruiting trip to India’s tech hub of Bangalore, Alan Cramb, the president of a reputable Chicago university, answered questions not just about dorms or tuition but also American work visas. The session with parents fell in the chaotic first months of Donald Trump’s presidency. After an inaugural address proclaiming “America first,” two travel bans, a suspended refugee program and hints at restricting skilled worker visas widely used by Indians, parents doubted their children’s futures in the U.S. “Nothing is happening here that isn’t being watched or interpreted around the world,” said Cramb, who leads the Illinois Institute of Technology, where international scholars have been half the student body. America was considered the premier destination for international students, with the promise of top-notch universities and unrivaled job opportunities. Yet, 2016 marked the start of a steep decline of new enrollees, something expected to continue with fresh rules limiting student visas, competition from other countries and a haphazard coronavirus response. The effect on the workforce will be considerable, experts predict, no matter the outcome of November’s election. For colleges that fear dwindling tuition and companies that worry about losing talent, the broader impact is harder to quantify: America seemingly losing its luster on a global stage. Roughly 5.3 million students study outside their home countries, a number that’s more than doubled since 2001. But the U.S. share dropped from 28% in 2001 to 21% last year, according to the Association of International Educators, or NAFSA.

Watching U.S. presidential vote, much of the world sees a less-strong America (LA Times) In the eyes of much of the world the United States is a potent, yet faltering force, a conflicted nation heading into an election that will either redeem it or tug it farther away from the myths and promise that for generations defined it in capitals from Singapore to Paris and Buenos Aires to Nairobi. The stature and standing of the U.S. have plummeted in recent years, a number of international polls suggest. That trend has been exacerbated this year by what is widely perceived to be a disorderly and ineffectual governmental response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and now by a chaotic electoral process. For some, a once-bright beacon of egalitarian values has faded into an aloof, disfigured power. “The United States was always a model to follow,” said Gloria Jácome Torres, a 41-year-old lawyer in Mexico City. “Since I was a student, I always viewed the United States with admiration—everything they did there with respect to human rights, the level of education, personal liberties.” But particularly during the last four years, her view has been soured by what she sees as a pattern of cruelty and callousness emanating from U.S. officialdom, as seen in the mistreatment of migrants and racial injustice laid bare. “Honestly, I believe that the United States is not the same as before,” she said. “One sees the news and thinks, ‘Is this really what the United States has become?’” In many parts of the world, a broad sense of disillusionment directed at the United States cannot be laid solely at the feet of President Trump, who began his term in January 2017. Particularly in regions such as Latin America and the Middle East, where the U.S. for decades propped up repressive regimes, historic grievances long predate Trump’s headlong America-first presidency.

Indigenous Colombians, Facing New Wave of Brutality, Demand Government Action (NYT) Protesters descended by the thousands on Colombia’s capital, Bogotá, this week, horrified by a brutal wave of violence sweeping the country, one so intense that mass killings have taken place every other day on average. Most traveled hundreds of miles, from the rural Indigenous communities that have been particularly ravaged by the violence, which they trace to government failures to protect them under the country’s halting peace process. “If we don’t stand before the world and say, ‘This is happening,’” said Ermes Pete, 38, an Indigenous leader from the country’s southwest, “we will be exterminated.” Four years ago, the government signed a historic peace deal with the country’s largest rebel group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, ending the longest-running conflict in the Americas. The accord called for the Colombian government to provide basic services—education, health care and safety—in areas battered by the long civil war. But many protesters said that when the FARC moved out of their communities, the government never moved in. Instead, new criminal groups arrived. As new criminal groups have moved into former FARC territory, Indigenous communities, often located on drug routes and in areas rich with minerals and timber, have been among the most vulnerable. The criminal groups have used deadly violence to stifle dissent and discourage people from working with rivals.

Spain orders nationwide curfew to stem worsening outbreak (AP) Spain declared a second nationwide state of emergency Sunday and ordered an overnight curfew across the country in hopes of stemming a resurgence in coronavirus infections, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said. The Socialist leader told the nation in a televised address that the extraordinary measure will go into effect on Sunday night. Sánchez said that his government is using the state of emergency to impose an 11 p.m.-6 a.m. nationwide curfew, except in the Canary Islands. Spain’s 19 regional leaders will have authority to set different hours for the curfew as long as they are stricter, close regional borders to travel and limit gatherings to six people who don’t live together, the prime minister said. The leader added that he would ask Parliament this week to extend the state of emergency for six months, until May.

France recalls ambassador from Turkey after Erdogan says Macron needs ‘mental’ treatment (Washington Post) The French foreign ministry said Sunday it was recalling its ambassador to Turkey, a day after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sharply criticized French President Emmanuel Macron’s response to the beheading of a teacher who had shown students pictures of the prophet Muhammad, strictly prohibited by the Muslim faith. French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said the country was withdrawing Ambassador Herve Magro from its NATO ally because of a “hateful and slanderous propaganda against France, testifying to a desire to stir up hatred against us and our heart” as well as “direct insults against the President of the Republic, expressed at the highest level of the Turkish state.” In the week since the attack in the Paris suburb of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, Macron’s government has ordered a crackdown on Muslim organizations it accuses of spreading hatred, and defended the caricatures of Muhammad as emblematic of the French values of secularism and free expression, even if they’re deeply offensive to many of France’s own Muslim citizens, among its largest minority populations. “What is the problem of this person called Macron with Muslims and Islam?” Erdogan asked during a speech to members of his political party on Saturday. “Macron needs treatment on a mental level.” “What else can be said to a head of state who does not understand freedom of belief and who behaves in this way to millions of people living in his country who are members of a different faith?”

Virus is pummeling Europe’s eateries—and winter is coming (AP) A resurgence of the coronavirus is dealing a second blow to the continent’s restaurants, which already suffered under lockdowns in the spring. From Northern Ireland to the Netherlands, European governments have shuttered eateries or severely curtailed how they operate. More than just jobs and revenue are at stake—restaurants lie at the heart of European life. Their closures are threatening the social fabric by shutting the places where neighbors mix, extended families gather and the seeds of new families are sown. This time, the closures are particularly painful because they might stretch into the Christmas season, nixing everything from pre-holiday office drinks to a special meal on the day. When it comes to purely calories and vitamins, “of course we can live without restaurants,” said food historian professor Peter Scholliers. But, he asked: “We can live without being social? No, we can’t.” Successful restaurants have always had to adapt quickly—but never has there been a challenge like this. The European Union said the hotel and restaurant industry suffered a jaw-dropping 79.3% decline in production between February and April. Summer brought some respite. But then came fall. Any giddiness that the fallout from the pandemic could somehow be contained faced the sobering reality of relentlessly rising coronavirus cases and hospitalizations. Government leaders are now warning things will get worse before they get better.

Berlin’s new airport is opening at last (NYT) Berlin-Brandenburg Willy Brandt Airport, conceived 30 years ago in the giddy aftermath of German reunification as a symbol of freedom and modernity, has instead become the butt of jokes. The litany of engineering blunders, corruption scandals and lawsuits that have plagued what was once Europe’s biggest building site have chipped away at the story Germany likes to tell about itself as a model of efficiency. Miles of cables were incorrectly installed. Firewalls turned out to be just walls. Escalators came up short. Screens had to be replaced, having reached the end of their lives. Under construction for 14 years, the airport is nine years past its original opening date and more than $4 billion over budget. Every month, it costs several million dollars just to keep the unused airport running. Airport staff are paid to flush all the toilets to keep the plumbing working. Ghost trains run to the ghost terminal at night to stop the tunnels from molding. With so many costly setbacks, T-shirts spotted in the city offer this advice: “Let’s just move the city of Berlin to a functioning airport.” Even Ms. Merkel has publicly aired her exasperation: “The very Chinese with whom we have government consultations are asking themselves, ‘what on earth is going on in Berlin that they can’t even build an airport with two runways’,” she said two years ago.

As China Clamps Down, Activists Flee Hong Kong for Refuge in the West (NYT) In Western democracies, they have been welcomed as refugees escaping Beijing’s tightening grip over Hong Kong. In China, they have been denounced as violent criminals escaping punishment for their seditious activities. A group of Hong Kong activists who have been granted asylum in the United States, Canada and Germany in recent weeks are the latest catalyst for deteriorating relations between China and the West. Western leaders have asserted that they will stand up for human rights in Hong Kong, while Chinese officials have rebuked the countries for what they called interference in Beijing’s affairs. The protesters’ newly conferred status has made clear how profoundly Hong Kong has changed since China imposed a tough new security law this summer. For decades, the city had been a place of shelter for people escaping war, famine and political oppression in mainland China. Now the semiautonomous city has become a source of asylum seekers.

Police cracking down on Thailand’s landmark protests aren’t sure what side they are on (Washington Post) The 21-year-old police officer arrived in Bangkok just after midnight on Oct. 15 with clear instructions: Disperse all protesters gathered in front of the prime minister’s office, with force if necessary. The young officer’s commander ordered the operation to start at 4:20 a.m., shortly after the Thai government issued an emergency decree aimed at quashing the demonstrations that had rocked Bangkok over the summer, challenging the once-untouchable monarchy. Protected by their shields, the police bore down on the young protesters, some officers kicking and punching as they went, before arresting more than a dozen leaders of the youth movement. “The commander in charge of our operation was quite aggressive and I was worried about that. I thought our actions were very unnecessary,” said the officer, speaking on the condition of anonymity for fear of repercussions. “It made me feel ashamed of myself as a human being, and like I was a coward, betraying my principles.” His views are shared by half a dozen officers interviewed by The Washington Post, reflecting a growing disaffection inside the Royal Thai Police with the three institutions that have long dominated politics in the kingdom: the army, the government and the monarchy. Over the past week, several police officers have been photographed raising the three-finger salute, a symbol of resistance and solidarity that the young demonstrators borrowed from the Hunger Games series.On social media, stories have circulated of officers helping protect demonstrators from water cannons and allowing them to escape without arrest. The predicament reflects a reality for many governments across the globe that have in recent months faced popular protests, including the United States, Hong Kong, Belarus and elsewhere, where some of the police officers tasked with crushing the demonstrations would rather be on the other side.

Philippines: Typhoon leaves 13 missing, displaces thousands (AP) A fast-moving typhoon blew away from the Philippines on Monday after leaving at least 13 people missing, forcing thousands of villagers to flee to safety and flooding rural villages, disaster-response officials said. The typhoon was blowing west toward the South China Sea with sustained winds of 125 kilometers (77 miles) per hour and gusts of up to 150 kph (93 mph). It roared overnight through island provinces south of the capital, Manila, which was lashed by strong winds but escaped major damage. At least 25,000 villagers were displaced, with about 20,000 taking shelter in schools and government buildings that were turned into evacuation centers, the Office of Civil Defense said, but officials added that some have returned home in regions where the weather has cleared.

Taliban show they can launch attacks anywhere across Afghanistan, even as peace talks continue (Washington Post) In the past several weeks, Taliban fighters have staged ground attacks and bombings in 24 of Afghanistan’s 34 provinces, leaving scores dead. In northeastern Takhar they ambushed and killed at least 40 soldiers and police. In northwestern Ghowr, a car bomb killed 19 civilians. In southern Helmand, Taliban fighters are still clashing with Afghan forces after a two-week assault on the provincial capital region. The message of the surge is clear and coldblooded. Even as Taliban delegates continue to nominally participate in peace talks with Afghan leaders in Qatar, the insurgents have shown no intention of reducing violence. Instead, they appear out to prove they can wreak havoc everywhere. In the past week alone, Afghan security officials said Saturday that the Taliban had staged 356 attacks, two suicide bombings and 52 mine explosions across the country, killing 51 civilians and wounding 157. They said more than 400 insurgents were killed but did not give casualty figures for Afghan forces. As the violence spreads, Afghans have expressed outrage and several prominent Middle Eastern religious scholars have condemned the attacks, especially against civilians, as un-Islamic. But Taliban leaders, partly in response to the criticism, reiterated that they have the right to kill anyone connected with the Afghan government or its foreign backers.

One of the few interviews with Gene Kelly’s son, Tim

Like other young kids who grew up in America, young Tim Kelly managed a few lemonade stands in his time. “And they did very well,” he says now. “But I didn’t really understand why.” Probably it was his location: the sidewalk in front of the Beverly Hills house that belonged to his dad, Gene Kelly.

Tim is still offering value for money received and his name still doesn’t hurt, but he has recently moved up from lemonade stands to dance halls. He and a partner ran the Nairobi Room, which overnight became LA’s hottest after hours club and which charged only $5 to get in the door. “If we upped the admission,” said Tim, 22, “we wouldn’t get the type of kids that make it happen.” The club’s mix of models, yuppies, street kids from Watts or East LA, stars, and anyone else who could crowd in, gave the Nairobi a special electricity.

All this has been done with little help from home. Once, after several months as proprietor and host of this genial oddity, Tim invited his dad down for a visit. “It was a big surprise to him,” he recalls. “He went off dancing. When he came back he said, ‘Gosh, this is a great time, but some of these kids need dancing lessons.’”

The relationship between father and son seems a close one, and it has been tested by tragedy and near tragedy. Tim’s mother, Jeanne, died of leukemia when he was 11 and his sister, Bridget, was 9 (now 19 and a student in Paris). Gene “quit working to stay home with those children,” a family friend recalls. “For years he was home at 6 to have dinner with his kids every night.” Says Tim, “He became both father and mother.” Last Christmas Tim saved his father’s life in a fire that razed the Beverly Hills house his father had lived in for nearly 40 years by guiding him out through the smoke.

Although Gene pays Tim’s tuition at USC’s film school and lets him use the garage apartment at a big house they’ve rented since the fire. Tim also worked regularly as a production assistant while raking it in at the Nairobi. “I work twice as hard as anyone else,” he says. “It’s best if someone doesn’t know who I am. When they do, they expect the worst from me, thinking ‘Oh, daddy got him the job.’”

That’s hardly a problem given Tim’s natural reticence. “As a child, anytime a camera came out, I disappeared,” he says. “Few people realize that Gene Kelly has a son.” Although the house was frequented by such friends of his father as Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood, Tim looked at them as “just regular people.” Later he spurned fashionable Beverly Hills High in favor of Loyola, a Jesuit school noted for its acedemic excellence, located in a largely Hispanic LA neighborhood. That doesn’t mean he is snooty about performers. Last August he worked as a DJ at Sean Penn and Timothy Hutton’s joint birthday party. “It felt odd,” he said, “because I knew so many of the people there. But it was fine. I really like working.”

“He is a perfectionist,” Tim says. “When he watches his movies, the only thing he won’t criticize is the ballet scene in An American in Paris. But he’s also very down to earth. Late one night I was photographing a New York graffiti artist in the basement. I had music cranked up on this blaster, and my dad wondered down into the kitchen. Now this artist said, ‘Wow, a real legend,’ and he wanted to meet him but he felt my dad would be a blown-away conservative thinking, ‘Who’s this nut with dreadlocks in my house?’ but then he went up to the kitchen and found my dad just drinking beer, scatting around to the music. ‘Wow,’ he said, ‘a real regular guy.’”
