Ukrainian class for girls in Prudentopolis, taught by UNWLA scholarship student Olya K. Program? How did it begin? And who are the needy Ukrainian students, the generous donors, and the de voted UNWLA Scholarship Program organizers behind all the statistics? In Brazil, Argentina and other countries, there are large Ukrainian communities where our people have preserved their native language and national identity. However, they have not produced a sufficient number of educated people. In Brazil, for instance, there are about a structure of males in top positions and females in elementary education jobs hurt not only the adults involved, but also in fluence children to see men as exclusively authority figures and women as primarily nurturers. Would not students benefit if they learned, from example as well as lectures, that all people should have both a sense of responsibility and a capacity to care for others, including young children? Guidance counseling is often used to impose sex-defined behaviors, goals and choices on an individual, despite the fact that its purpose should be to stimulate and sustain the interests and capacities of each student. A review of education budgets would reveal that even in terms of dollars spent, the parents of girls are subsidizing — in the form of taxes and tuition — the schooling of boys. When one thinks of how much greater the achievements of humankind could have been had every individual’s talents been free to develop in a supportive atmosphere, the loss and waste of human potential are overwhelming. Given our national experience throughout history, it is easily comprehensible for a Ukrainian that control over the educational process and the tools of learning are a means to political, economic and cultural oppression.Eliminate a people from the textbooks and encyclopedias, from history, from biographical, anthropological and cultural studies and you have, in effect, eliminated a people. Deny a people their own voice; categorize a people as good for only prescribed and pre ordained functions; name a people a lower class of being and distort representations of them to fit the stereotype; prevent them from creating their own images — in art, in print and in intellectual discourse; inhibit them from knowing theirown ancestors: in this manner establishing dominion over these people will be greatly facilitated. The use of such coercion Roman and Lidia, Ukrainian students in Curitiba, capital of Parana state 125,000 Ukrainians living primarily in the villages of the state of Parana, about 500 miles south of Rio de Janeiro. The living conditions are primitive, the earnings meager, and the living costs high. Our impoverished youth, de prived of adequate education, are forced to accept poor ly paid jobs. In the 1967/1968 academic year UNWLA started the Scholarship Program for these youths, although on a very small scale at first. Closer contact with needy against women has been practiced for so long, with so little overt brutality and with such unbelievable success, that few persons have ever stopped to observe that such a strategy is even now being employed, as it has been since time immemorial. How soon we forget that the right to education for women is a relatively modern development. Mary Wollstonecraft, for example, had the temerity to suggest that girls should be educated as were boys in her Vindication of the Rights of Women, published in 1792: even though she based her argument on the contention that an educated woman makes a better mother, she was villified by her contemporaries for being a hyenna in skirts whose work should be read, according to a 1799 reviewer: "with disgust by every female who has any pretentions to delicacy; with detestation by every one attached to the interests of religion and morality, and with indignation by anyone who might feel any regard for the unhappy woman, who frailties should have been buried in oblivion." Nor have attitudes changed all that much. Delicacy, religion, morality — read propriety — and female frailties still constitute the "reasons" for denying individuals equal educational opportunities simply because of their sex. Both boys and girls, women and men, family and society suffer as a result. But there is hope on the horizon. Next month’s column will represent the silver lining of my verbal black cloud. Title IX of the 1972 education amendments and the Women’s Educational Equity Act will be discussed. Pilot programs, innovative strategies and new sex-fair approaches to learning currently being implemented by educators all over the country will be described. Progress made in eliminating prejudice and bias and in establishing humanistic values in the schools will be applauded. So, if you like happy endings, please turn to next month’s News and Views. 24 НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ, КВІТЕНЬ 1978 Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
