This video is of a New Zealand high school student, Takunda Muzondiwa, who is giving an extremely powerful speech at the Race Unity Speech Awards. This year the awards theme is ‘Speaking for Justice, Working for Unity’.
Yes, this video is generally about race and racism, but she does touch on culture and schooling, and how students who feel comfortable in the educational setting will achieve better results.
It’s a very powerful video and although doesn’t talk soleley about culture and maths, it is worth a listen.
If you don’t have time to watch the full video, I would recommend you at least watch between 1:40 – 3:54 minutes.
Very well said. Enjoy!
