The Afrospear Think Tank has started a new monthly carnival with rotating topics. The first carnival, titled The Mis-Education of the Negro in the 21st Century, will appear on Monday 3 September. Please send any submissions to afrospear@hotmail.com by Friday 31 August.

Some questions to consider courtesy of Asabanga:

Are we currently suffering from mis-education? What is your opinion and/or perspective on how our young are being educated? Are they being mis-educated and if so, what are the dynamics and results of this process of mis-education that you see? Does education have the power to change our lives and if so, do we, as a people, truly value and take advantage of that opportunity? What solutions and/or strategies do you propose to the education dilemma which is facing our community(ies)? It would be beneficial and enlightening to hear from different regions of the Diaspora and from the Motherland itself.
