Gambia Experience and the world must know how the Gambia and President Jammeh are vastly improving childhood education. Just this year, President Jammeh implemented strong reforms. Schools will now teach early-grade students to understand English; use “national languages to enhance the reading ability of early graders”; give teachers higher levels of training; and provide more “core instructional materials sufficient for all children in lower and upper basic schools at no cost to the households.”
Did you see that President Jammeh has become a partner with British High Commission (BHC) and Conscience International charity. They are launching a large literacy training program for women will be launched in the Gambia. The lessons are intended to increase women’s life skills, improve their abilities to access opportunities, and enable them to participate in community decision making processes.
Yahya Jammeh and the Gambia is a champion in women empowerment, there are lots of women empowerment initiatives in the Gambia including free girls education. The country's vice president Isatou Njie-Saidy is a woman and the longest serving cabinet member and lots of women are serving or served in the cabinet.
“We must allow justice to prevail for all human beings, regardless of color, creed, religion or any other type of perceived distinction.” – Gambian President Yahya Jammeh
