In this special recap episode of Class Dismissed with Dr. K, we pause to reflect on some of the most powerful stories shared over the past few months—and tackle real questions about rural education.

Dr. K revisits key conversations:

• How teacher mindset and creativity can transform learning in resource-limited Nigerian and Ugandan classrooms.
• Veteran educator Gyamesi Augustina’s call for early childhood education reform in Ghana, and the role of parents in strengthening classrooms.
• Mr. Pelem’s courageous teaching in conflict-affected Plateau State, Nigeria, where insecurity constantly disrupts learning.
• The innovation of rural STEM teachers in Zimbabwe, from improvised experiments to gender equity initiatives.

Then, Dr. K answers listener questions:

• What do rural teachers need most right now?
• Can AI be relevant in schools with little to no internet access?
• How can rural students gain better access to universities?
• What can parents and communities do when the system fails them?

This episode is part reflection, part call to action—and a reminder that rural education is not a charity issue. It’s a justice issue.

Class dismissed—until next time, let’s keep the conversation going!
