Across Alberta, more students of African descent (hailing from Somali, Nigeria, Jamaica, Trinidad, other Canadian provinces, and elsewhere) are in our classrooms. In Edmonton Public Schools, they’re 11 percent of all students. Unfortunately, extensive research demonstrates they face under-achievement, down-streaming, and dropping out. But what if schools had a simple approach to improve their lives and give educational, career, and business opportunities that are—literally—worth billions of dollars, and which massively contribute to quality of life and community for all? The standard approach of “anti-racism” isn’t designed to do any of that. But aspirational Africentric education is. Learn an innovative, data-driven strategy to increase belonging and achievement for all students. Emerge energized and empowered with practical tools you can use your very next class!
