Freedman offers a serviceable introduction to Dylan’s early discography and his biography, including his childhood on the Iron Range of Minnesota. But the books offers little new illuminating information into how Dylan’s Jewish heritage may have influenced his career.
Privatization will raise tuition fees even higher, warned Peter Muzawazi, a prominent educator in Zimbabwe.Muzawazi, who attended Catholic schools, once was the headmaster of Marist Brothers, a top Catholic school for boys in Zimbabwe. That school in Nyanga is among those earmarked for privatization.
“I know in the Catholic Church there is a lot of space for reasonable fees for day scholars, but for boarders there is need to be watching because the possibility that they would be out of reach for the vulnerable is there,” he said.The church needs to be actively engaged, he said. “How do we continue to guarantee education for the poor?”Efforts to privatize church-founded schools have sparked debate in Zimbabwe, which for years has been in economic decline stemming in part from sanctions imposed by the U.S. and others. Authorities say privatizing these schools is necessary to maintain standards, even as critics warn Catholic leaders not to turn their backs on poor people.
“Schools have now turned into businesses,” Martin Chaburumunda, president of the Zimbabwe Rural Teachers’ Union, told The Manica Post, a state-run weekly. “Churches now appear only hungry for money as opposed to educating the communities they operate in.”Rather than privatizing old mission schools, the church should invest in building new ones if it’s useful to experiment with different funding models, said Muzawazi, a lay Catholic who serves on the governing council of the Catholic University of Zimbabwe.
“The bright people who advance the cause of countries are not the rich ones,” he said. “We want every church and every nation to tap the potential of every person, regardless of economic status.”
___ Mutsaka reported from Harare, Zimbabwe.He had a blast, but also realized he was running the risk of spreading himself too thin. So he took what he learned and incorporated it into his skillset. It’s one of the reasons he opted to try to qualify for this year’s U.S. Open by picking a route that included a sectional at Wine Valley Golf Club in Walla Walla, Washington.
The “math and science geek” had done his research. He knew Wine Valley was wide enough that he probably wouldn’t run into trouble if he started spraying tee shots. He captured medalist honors after back-to-back 4-under 68s.And suddenly, the dentist from Indiana was on The Golf Channel, his
going viral and his phone blowing up to the point that he asked Hillary to help him keep track of it all. Things got so busy last week that when Vogt tried to sneak out to practice, it wasn’t until he was nearly at the course that he realized he’d forgotten his shoes.Vogt’s soft spikes were back in their usual spot when he stepped off the first tee on a Monday unlike any of the others he’d ever experienced at Oakmont.
