Angelina Jolie’s Contributions to Education and Alternative Schooling are Commendable

Angelina Jolie is a well-known actress, filmmaker, and humanitarian. She has acted in numerous movies, including “Maleficent,” “Wanted,” and “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” However, her contributions to education and alternative schooling are not as widely known.

Jolie is a strong advocate for education and has been involved in various initiatives that aim to provide better educational opportunities for children worldwide. In 2012, she founded the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict organization (EPCC) with the goal of providing education to children affected by conflict around the world. The organization supports schools and educators who work with vulnerable populations like refugees or those who have experienced violence or displacement.

One of EPCC’s most notable partnerships was with UNESCO. Together they launched an initiative called “Education Above All” which aimed to increase access to quality education for children living in conflict zones around the world. This partnership led to the establishment of several schools in Afghanistan, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Jordan, Kenya, Nepal and Rwanda.

In addition to her work with EPCC and UNESCO’s Education Above All initiative; Jolie also partnered with Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) in 2021 on an ambitious project called “The Big Dream School”. The school will be fully equipped with technology tools such as virtual reality gear among others that will enable students from low-income backgrounds all over America gain access to modern technological teaching methods.

Aside from supporting educational initiatives globally; Angelina Jolie is also committed to providing her own kids a unique learning experience through homeschooling them while they were growing up.

Jolie revealed that homeschooling allowed her kids more freedom while still ensuring they received quality education without having their social activities interrupted – something that’s often missed out when attending regular school settings where there are strict schedules which leave little room for extracurricular activities outside classwork.

She believes that homeschooling encourages creativity since children aren’t confined within classroom walls but are free to explore their environments and learn at their pace. Jolie advises parents who would like to homeschool their kids to have a solid curriculum that meets the state’s requirements, create a conducive study environment and be willing to adapt different teaching styles.

Jolie is also an advocate for children with special needs. In 2007, she narrated the documentary “A Place in Time” which follows the lives of children around the world facing various challenges such as blindness or poverty.

Furthermore; Angelina has also been involved in several projects that support girls’ education specifically. She co-founded the Global Action for Children organization which advocates for legislation that protects vulnerable minors from exploitation while advocating access to quality education globally.

Jolie understands how important education is especially when it comes to empowering young girls. She believes that educating girls can transform communities and break cycles of poverty worldwide – something she actively campaigns for through her work with global organizations like UNICEF where she serves as Special Envoy on behalf of refugee children’s rights among others.

In conclusion, Angelina Jolie’s contributions to alternative schooling and education are commendable. Her passion towards providing better educational opportunities for underprivileged kids globally is evident through her involvement in various initiatives aimed at improving access and quality of learning worldwide. Furthermore; her decision to homeschool her own kids shows how committed she is towards providing unique learning experiences tailored specifically towards individual student needs rather than traditional classroom settings which may not always cater best towards each child’s unique strengths or weaknesses.
