There is misinformation about anti-racist, decolonizing education and other approaches to creating more just and equitable education systems. We must reclaim the narratives and show the benefits of these approaches because it is education that uplifts all students.

The unpreparedness of the educated classes, the lack of practical links between them and the mass of the people, their laziness, and let it be said, their cowardice at the decisive moment of the struggle will give rise to tragic mishaps.
