The document examines girls' education in South Sudan and South Africa and the dialectic between global gender goals and local empowerment. It uses a post-structuralist approach to look beyond numerical equality and instead focuses on issues of power, discrimination, and exclusion. The research investigated whether and how education can empower girls locally by conducting interviews and focus groups. Key findings included a gap between gender policies and local practices, girls' desire for autonomy and contribution, and lack of collaboration between communities and schools. Solutions proposed include the government playing an active role, challenging traditional gender roles in schools, and achieving substantive gender fairness beyond just access.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

1. The Dialectic between Global
Gender Goals and Local
Empowerment:
girls’ education in Southern Sudan
and South Africa
Holmarsdottir at al., 2011
2. To what extent has
school and family
shaped your gender
identity?
3. Key issues
• How is gender equality and equity
understood at grassroot level? And how
does it relate to the national policies of
”global governance”?
• How to research gender equality in
education, not in a numerical way, but
going beyond parity?
4. Context
South Sudan South Africa
• Post-civil war • Post-apartheid
• 7% of the teachers are • Reached numerical equality
women
• 2% of girls graduate primary
school
5. Post-structuralist approach
• Examines the construction of meaning and power
relations as they affect the contemporary educational
decisions
• Seeks to identify and expose biases that marginalize the
educational needs of women and contribute to
educational disparities
6. Global Governance/
World Institutionalization of Education
Global governance does not only affects the way
in which educational systems are influenced, it
also involves how we view and define various
issues within education.
7. Empowerment
A process by which people, organizations, or groups, who
are powerless become aware of the power dynamics at
work in their life context, develop the skills and capacity
for gaining some reasonable control over their lives,
exersice this control without infringing upon the rights of
others and support the empowerment of others in the
community.

11. Main objectives of research
Investigate whether or not (and to what extent)
education can be seen as a tool of empowerment
for girls.
Case of South Sudan (Juba) and South Africa(Cape Town)
Methods used
Focus group discussions, formal and informal
observations, and individual interviews
12. Findings
• Gap between policy and local practice in education
• High desire of girls to have control over their own life
choices, to be autonomous, to make a contribution to
the community
• Education represents hope for the future and change
• Peer group culture within the school environment
• Lack of correlation between the community and
school
• The NGO’s and the government in South Sudan do not
collaborate as equal partners
13. Solutions
• The government needs to be an active partner in
implementing gender equality projects
• Schools that challenge traditional sex roles
• Female teachers as role models and agents of
change
• Pedagogical structural tools to achieve gender
equity (fairness)
• Seeing gender equality as a part of the larger
vision of a democratic society
• What about the boys?
14. Conclusions
• “Go beyond the numbers”
• A post-structural approach focusing on qualitative studies
of the nature of power, discrimination and exclusion
• Parity doesn’t necessarily bring about empowerment
• Access to meaningful education (that provides epistemic
access)
• Development of fair gender practices, pedagogical content
and social settings at school
15. To what extent can education
contribute to gender equality
and equity?
