摘要
教育是一个赋予权力的过程,使那些在社会、经济、政治和文化领域处于边缘地位的人能够要求他们作为充分参与社会的成员的地位。然而,肯尼亚约有30万街头儿童没有接受过正规教育,也不精通所使用的两种语言——英语(官方语言)和斯瓦希里语(国语)——这两种语言是改善生计和参与国家发展的重要信息。根据正在进行的一项关于肯尼亚街头儿童识字和算术需求的研究,我认为街头儿童需要通过获得算术、语言和识字技能来掌握适当的知识,使他们能够充分参与国家的发展。《非洲语言、技术与创业》Vol. 1 (2) 2009: pp. 244-254
Education as a tool for empowering Kenya's street children for integration in national development
Education is an empowering process that enables those who have been marginalized in the social, economic, political and cultural spheres to claim their status as fully participating members of the society. Nevertheless, about 300,000 street children in
Kenya have had no formal education and are not proficient in the two languages
used – English (official language) and Swahili (national language)- languages in
which vital information leading to improved livelihoods and participation in national
development is available. Drawing evidence from an ongoing study on the literacy
and numeracy needs of street children in Kenya, I argue that street children need to
be equipped with appropriate knowledge through acquisition of numeracy, language
and literacy skills for them to be fully empowered to be able to participate in the
country's development. Journal of Language, Technology & Entrepreneurship in Africa Vol. 1 (2) 2009: pp. 244-254
