    • Letters from the field
      Aug 16 2025

      In this special recap episode of Class Dismissed with Dr. K, we pause to reflect on some of the most powerful stories shared over the past few months—and tackle real questions about rural education.

      Dr. K revisits key conversations:

      • How teacher mindset and creativity can transform learning in resource-limited Nigerian and Ugandan classrooms.
      • Veteran educator Gyamesi Augustina’s call for early childhood education reform in Ghana, and the role of parents in strengthening classrooms.
      • Mr. Pelem’s courageous teaching in conflict-affected Plateau State, Nigeria, where insecurity constantly disrupts learning.
      • The innovation of rural STEM teachers in Zimbabwe, from improvised experiments to gender equity initiatives.

      Then, Dr. K answers listener questions:

      • What do rural teachers need most right now?
      • Can AI be relevant in schools with little to no internet access?
      • How can rural students gain better access to universities?
      • What can parents and communities do when the system fails them?

      This episode is part reflection, part call to action—and a reminder that rural education is not a charity issue. It’s a justice issue.

    • Episode 4: Interrupted Learning: Teaching Through Insecurity
      May 30 2025

      In this episode of Class Dismissed, Dr. K sits down with Mr. Pelem, a dedicated teacher in rural Plateau State, Nigeria, to explore how insecurity is disrupting education in his community. Together, they unpack the daily challenges that students and teachers face—school closures, fear, emotional trauma, and learning gaps.


      Mr. Pelem shares the creative ways teachers keep students engaged, including storytelling, one-on-one encouragement, and utilizing online platforms like WhatsApp when physical classes are not possible.

      The conversation highlights the critical role of community involvement, such as active Parent-Teacher Associations and local security partnerships, in creating safer learning environments.


      Listeners will also hear practical suggestions for recovery, like implementing accelerated learning programs, prioritizing foundational skills, and using radio, print, and low-tech tools to reach learners without digital access.


      This episode is a powerful reminder of the resilience of teachers and students in crisis-affected regions—and the importance of supporting education not just through policy, but through empathy, creativity, and community action.
