Wyzwania pedagogizacyjne w Krajach Trzeciego Świata w sektorze ochrony zdrowia na przykładzie Kamerunu

Abstract

The article is based on the author's participation and personal experience during a Polish-Italian Humanitarian Mission to Cameroon. According to UNICEF, Cameroon is one of the most endangered regions in Africa. This jeopardy is multifaceted. Epidemics and endemic health problems, such as HIV/AIDS, malaria and malnutrition, are the main causes of mortality among the population of this country. The difficult material situation, compounded by health problems, leads to deep poverty among the population, which particularly affects children and young people. The luxury for a child in Africa is a slice of bread, education is optional and paid for, which, in the face of catastrophic poverty, leads to total illiteracy. There is a lack of educational role models in the family and society. Young people are aware of the need for education as a ticket to a better world, but do not have the right conditions (financial and material) to take advantage of this opportunity. Schools at every level of education are paid. The teaching and education system in Cameroon falls far short of European standards. The challenge is, for example, to educate teaching staff and for families to provide financial resources for education. Such a situation raises civilisational and pedagogical challenges for the modern world towards the Black Land. Key words: school, education, illiteracy
