Revision as of 21:17, 21 July 2024

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..)

  • Chinese: 教育
  • Greek: παιδεία [2]
  • Hebrew: חינוך [3]
  • Hindi: शिक्षा [4]

  • Māori: ako [6][7]
  • Mohawk: ionterihwaienhstáhkhwa [8]
  • Nepali: Same as Hindi

  • Quechua: yachay [11] [12]

Pronunciation guide

We have often received anglicised versions of the name as a guide to pronunciation, but would prefer to either display in IPA notation and/or link to an audio recording

Notes

  2. ↑ Recognising that the word "school" is of Greek origin; This was offered by a Greek speaker from Cyprus; the words most commonly used are connected to traditional schooling and being taught in a traditional sense (εκπαίδευση) whereas παιδεία which has a wider meaning to include character, as well as skills and all these learned through a variety of ways, formal tutoring as well as learning through experiences, society, etc

  7. ↑ The concept of ako describes a teaching and learning relationship, where the educator is also learning from the student and where educators’ practices are informed by the latest research and are both deliberate and reflective. Ako is grounded in the principle of reciprocity and also recognises that the learner and whānau cannot be separated. rangatiratanga was also offered , which translates as self-determination, in preference over the typical translation of mātaranga, where Mātaranga Māori is "our knowledge, or our ways of knowing, doing and being"
