Education around the world

For the Rights-Centric Education logo, we will be featuring the word Education in multiple languages, with an explicit effort to include words and concepts outside the colonial view of education (which is what took rights-violating practices of education around the world, to, you know, educate the savages..)

So far we have

• From Sri Lanka: Sinhala: අධ්‍යාපනය, Tamil: கல்வி, Sri Lankan Malay: belajaran
  • Note from Sifaan: Of course I want the logo to include the words for education from my country, and given how much language barriers have contributed to conflict here, I want to recognise as many of our languages as I can, even if they are minor (the Malay community is 0.2% of our population).
• From New Zealand / Aotearoa: Māori: rangatiratanga, which translates as self-determination. This was offered by a Māori speaker over the typical translation of mātaranga, where Mātaranga Māori is "our knowledge, or our ways of knowing, doing and being"

While we are open to adding words from any language, we do have a Wishlist:

• Polish (in memory of Janusz Korczak)
• Gangulu (in recognition of Lilla Watson)
• Bantu (because of Ubuntu)
• Hebrew (because the first state sponsored Democratic School is in Hadera)
