TIPS ON HOW TO SURVIVE IN CITY

1. Don't go to downtown if you don’t have to.
2. If you move into a new house, use two padlocks no matter how of good quality they are.
3. If you are walking downtown and you hear someone shouting "size size" don’t turn just move to the side or else a sack of charcoal or maize brand may knock you down from nowhere.
4. When boarding a taxi, check the condition of your window. That’s where your phone/bag might exit from.
5. No one should pray for you on the streets regardless of your situation in life. Be woke when around Mulago Hospital or Wandegeya!
6. Chapati will always be 500 regardless of wheat prices.
7. On Nabugabo and Namirembe roads, don't even stop to swallow your saliva, walk mercilessly! If you have hips, use them to pave way for yourself! Elbows are good weapons too in case of anything. If you’re passing by and someone hits you as you walk along the streets, hit them back because no one apologizes for such mistakes in this city!
8. If you feel lost just look for Mapeera House, you will pick your bearing from there. But note that Mapeera House can’t be seen from Owino market as it has no exit. You’ve to walk at least 17kms once you enter that market before you find the exit!
9. In case someone drops anything in front of you, don't pick it. Walk away like you’re blind. If someone calls you sister, blood, professor, doctor, Mzee, etc just keep walking even if you’re a doctor!
10. Instead of going to downtown washrooms, just get into Café Javas if you’ve a clean mask, sanitize at the entrance, and use their washrooms. Confidence is key here!
11. During the rainy season, don’t wait in corridors when it’s raining, get in supermarkets and electronic shops on Kampala road and watch news from 85" Samsung Screens. Do some window shopping even if you buy nothing. Be confident. Be smart. Kampala isn’t for the fainthearted!
12. Don't bargain on everything. The trick is, the quality will keep reducing as the price goes down.
13. Avoid eye contact with hawkers especially in traffic jams. Otherwise you've already signed a purchase contract. If you make eye contact, don’t nod your head in disapproval lest you’ll contract nodding syndrome.
14. When tired under the scorching sun in town or waiting for your driver on the , don't go to City Square. Just go to Mapeera House or any bank, pick a bank ticket and sit there the whole day. You will have a great rest.
15. Whatever you buy must be packaged in front of you, I mean in front of you. Don’t even blink or be distracted or else you'll find yourself with rotten avocado instead of potatoes or shoes you paid for expensively. Also, never ever buy black shoes at night no matter how good it looks.
16. In case you see any job openings with the phrase "WhatsApp or inbox me…” just know its Aim g...
17. When you hear a shot anywhere close to you, don't run, just duck into the nearest shop... if you run, your people will be told that you were killed by a stray bullet.

18. If you enter a taxi and the window next to you doesn’t close, either it's faulty, assume you’ve no phone till you reach your destination at home… the moment you remove it, it's gone. Never walk in a straight line after withdrawing money, walking out of the ATM, forex bureau, bank, etc even when you have no money. Walk like 2 minutes on the pavement then change direction abruptly. The main aim is to be unpredictable like nothing.
19. Don't talk to those old grannies on the streets. Even thieves grow old.
20. Leave your Christian virtues and fruits of the Holy Spirit at your home doormat. Think like a con and treat everyone like a suspect, otherwise you'll get fixed in this City.
Never ever buy a phone, watch, and electronics from a random person or shop in these streets.
Additionally, never ever buy 2nd hand items, especially phones & electronics regardless of how cheap they are, unless they’re from a trusted friend with an address. Why? You'll wet your pants the moment detectives track and catch you and tell you "We got the body, but where did you throw the head? You wouldn’t just put it around the body. Why did you kill him, you wouldn't just take the phone and money and go?

HOW WILL THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IMPACT THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION...???

As schools around the world transition to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, students, parents, and educators are all wondering what this means for education in the future.

While it may seem difficult to predict how the future will unfold during such uncertain times, some of the most pioneering work happening around us can guide us in our thinking.

Digital education is catching up to, and may surpass traditional classroom education

Historically, digital education has often been viewed as the “free version” of traditional education, or the second-best option available for under-resourced communities that do not have access to traditional education. However, this may not be the case going forward. As I shared in Is Digital Learning Still Second Best?, innovators such as Dr. Sanjeev Arora of Project Echo, have demonstrated that healthcare workers educated through telemedicine can now get the same health outcomes in patients as specialist centers at university hospitals. Or that EdTech startups using artificial intelligence to analyze students’ sentiments can get better results than traditional classrooms. We can no longer assume that traditional classroom education is the best education.

While much of the world will likely return to school after the pandemic dies down (since schools are a cornerstone of personal youth development and a form of daycare for working parents), the difference will be that online learning will also be acceptable and credible in the future. While we previously saw a minority of parents homeschool their children, we may see a much larger number in the future, especially if families discover or invent other ways for youth to socialize and for parents to work during the pandemic.

Envisioning education in 2030

Not only is the world facing a pandemic, but at this moment we are also in the midst of digitizing every industry and aspect of our society. This means many parts of our lives that used to be separate will now converge. The pandemic is simply accelerating that process.

Last year, through my work at Singularity University, I led an initiative bringing together our community of alumni, faculty, startups, corporate partners, and staff to envision the future of education in 2030. That vision, which we published in the form of a free downloadable graphic novel, outlines a world where learning, work, and family life is deeply integrated. Youth learn from a digital global curriculum (rather than static lesson plans or books) that is based on real-world problems that need to be solved. The problems are identified by social organizations, governments, communities, and companies. Every company and organization in the future runs its own university. Adults and parents who work at these institutions not only do their own work but spend part of their time teaching and engaging others in building solutions. Students receive credits for their work, which not only records their accomplishments but is a form of real money.

I encourage you to check out the vision and consider how life might evolve as we digitize and converge the fields of learning and work.

On a practical note, given where we are today, it is also important to think about the challenges we face as these different sectors converge. Lately, I’ve been following the work of Isabelle Hau, a Partner with Imaginable Futures, a philanthropic investment fund spun out of the Omidyar Network. Even before the pandemic, Hau was working on solving a problem that has not received much attention – supporting post-secondary success for parents. In a world that requires adults to constantly learn new skills, how are they supposed to balance keeping up with their own education, working, and raising children? Imaginable Futures and Lumina Foundations recently launched a $1 million incentive prize to help spur solutions.

While we know that in a digital future, we will combine education and work in new ways, we cannot rely on students and employees to take on the burden of the transition – our companies and educational systems must also transform. Now is the time for all of us to re-imagine the future we want to live in and start building it.
