This document provides information about Mali and discusses improving the country's literacy rate. It notes that Mali has a literacy rate of only 46% and lacks sufficient schools and teachers. To address this, the document proposes building more schools, hiring more teachers, and establishing school bus systems. It suggests other countries could help by donating money, supplies, and teachers to support expanding education in Mali.

This slide show aims to draw connections between the empire of Mali at the height of its power under Mansa Musa, and modern day Mali. There are several topics presented, and there is room from inquiry throughout the slide show. I used photos from my travels throughout Mali and to Timbuktu. The slides also correspond with the Mansa Musa Readers Theatre, but it is not essential for you to have this in order to find the slide show accessible.

2. The climate is desert, steppe and savannah
throughout the country
The total area is 478,764
The average temperature is 82 degrees
Up north is the Sahara desert and south of it is
cropland/grassland
The annual rainfall is 43.2in
3. The main language of Mali is French and there
is 58 languages spoken
The literacy rate is only 46%
No one has computers
Basketball, soccer, and traditional wrestling are

4. In 1235 King Sundiata defeats Sumanguru
In 1324 king Mansa Musa goes on a pilgrimage

In 1332 Mansa Musa dies
A French colonization begins in 1800
The French create a post at Bamako in 1883
In 1925 Mali and Burkina Faso engage
Mali becomes a republic independent country
in 1960 and gets over thrown in 1968
5. The problem that I would like to salve about
Mali is the literacy rate. The literacy rate was
only 46% as of 2012. Without a high literacy
rate, not many people can read or write. This
is bad because without those skills it is harder
to get a job. Most jobs require you to read
labels or write down things. This is a problem
in my country because there is not enough
schools/teachers.
6. Build more schools
Hire more teachers
Build buses and make school systems
Regional countries can help by:
Donating money
Donating supplies
Helping to build
Giving away some teachers
7. My final solution I have chosen is to build
more schools and hire teachers for them.
Other countries can help by donating money to
help build schools and pay the teachers.
