4 | Founded in December 2014 by the Berlin-based university student Markus Kreßler, Wings University is a non-profit online school that appeals to refugees wishing to continue or begin their higher education. | Naorin'ilay mpianatry ny oniversite monina ao Berlin, Markus Kreßler tamin'ny volana Desambra 2014 ny sekoly antserasera tsy mitady tombombarotra Wings University izay miantso ireo mpitsoa-ponenana maniry hanohy na hanomboka fianarana ambony. |
5 | According to the organization's website, it offers: | Araka ny filazan'ny habaky ny fikambanana, toy izao avy no atolony: |
6 | World-class higher education. | Fampianarana ambony sokajy voalohany. |
7 | Internationally accredited degrees. | Diplaoma ankatoavina iraisam-pirenena. |
8 | For everyone, everywhere. | Natao ho an'ny rehetra na aiza na aiza misy azy. |
9 | Regardless of gender, nationality, ethnicity, religion, age, financial or social status. | Tsy mijery ny maha-lahy sy vavy, zom-pirenena, foko, fivavahana, taona, vola na fari-piainana. |
10 | But tailor-made for the needs and requirements of refugees worldwide. | Fampianarana sahaza ny filàna sy ny fitakian'ny mpitsoa-ponenana manerantany. |
11 | Students can enroll in classes without proof of identity or graduation certificates, and tuition is entirely free. | Afaka misoratra anarana tsy mila fanamarinana ny mombamomba azy na diplaoma ananana ny mpianatra, ary maimaimpoana tanteraka ny saram-pianarana. |
12 | The only time a student must verify their identity with the university is upon graduation, in order to receive a formal diploma. | Ny fotoana tokana tsy maintsy anaovana fanamarina ny mombamomba azy kosa dia rehefa amin'ny fetin'ny fizarana diplaoma, mba hahazoana diplaoma ara-dalàna. |
13 | Until Wings University acquires official status as a university, the degrees will be provided by partner institutions. | Mandra-pahazoan'ny Wings University ny sata ofisialy amin'ny maha-oniversite azy, dia ireo oniversite mpiara-miasa aloha no manome ny diplaoma. |
14 | All courses are held in English and can therefore be offered worldwide to an English-speaking student body. | Amin'ny teny anglisy avokoa ny fampianarana rehetra ka misokatra hoan'ny mpianatra miteny anglisy manerantany. |
15 | In cooperation with partner universities, including several top-ranking schools, participating professors design the courses. | Noho ny fiarahamiasa amin'ny oniversite sasany, anisan'izany ireo sekoly ambony malaza, ireo mpampianatra mpiara-miasa no mandamina ny fampianarana. < |
16 | Beginning this coming autumn, Wings University will offer courses in engineering, economics, and computer science. | Manomboka amin'ny mihintsan-dravina [ilabolantany avaratra] hoavy, dia hanolotra fampianarana momba ny injeniôrà, toe-karena sy ny informatika ny Wings University. |
17 | The choices are based on a survey of 617 people, 80 percent of whom self-identified as refugees. | Nifototra amin'ny fakan-kevitr'olona 617 izany safidy izany, izay nilaza fa mpitsoa-ponenana ny 80 isan-jaton'izy ireo. |
18 | Subjects were asked about previous university degrees, coursework, and their desired study programs. | Nanontaniana azy ireo ny diplaoma ambony indrindra azony, ny fianarana natao ary ny fandaharam-pianarana tian'izy ireo arahina. |
19 | Despite its global focus, Kreßler's organization is rooted firmly in Germany, where the school works to reverse a trend where refugees often struggle in adult education programs: | Na dia eo aza ny fisokafany manerantany, miorim-paka ao Alemaina ny fikambanan'i Kreßler, izay iasan'ny sekoly mba hanova ny zavamisy satria matetika mitolona amin'ny fandaharam-pianaran'olon-dehibe ny mpitsoa-ponenana : |
20 | Go out on the streets, talk to people living in refuge, their goals, their former studies and visions. | Mandehana eny an-dalana, miresaha amin'ny olona monina any anaty tobim-pialofana, miresaha momba ny tanjon'izy ireo, ny fianarana noratoviny farany sy ny vinavinan'izy ireo. |
21 | You will be surprised how many of them started studying programs like engineering, almost finished their degrees but do not have the opportunity to continue at universities today. | Ho gaga ianao mahita hoe firy amin'izy ireo no nanomboka nianatra injeniôra no saika nahavita ny fianarany saingy tsy manana fahafahana hanohy hianatra any amin'ny oniversite amin'izao fotoana izao. |
22 | According to federal laws on higher education and most school regulations, refugees are permitted to enroll in a study program, but only with the consent of the local foreigners' registration office, which can raise legal obstacles for refugee students. | Araka ny lalàna federaly mikasika ny fianarana ambony sy ny ankamaroan'ny fitsipiky ny sekoly, mahazo misoratra anarana any amin'ireo oniversite ny mpitsoa-ponenana saingy mila ny fankatoavan'ny birao misahana ny vahiny eo an-toerana, izay mety ho sakana ho an'ny mpianatra mpitsoa-ponenana. |
23 | Before enrollment, students must prove the validity of their university entrance qualification, which requires documents that refugees are often missing | Alohan'ny fisoratana anarana, tsy maintsy manaporofo ny fahamarinan'ny fahaizany na diplaoma ananany ny mpianatra, izay mitaky antontan-taratasy matetika tsy ananan'ireo mpitsoa-ponenana. |
24 | Due to regulations during the examination of an asylum application, refugees often have to change residence several times and are normally accommodated at remote locations, making it very difficult for these people to access a permanent place to study. | Noho ny fitsipika mandritra ny fandinihana ny fangatahan'ny mpialokaloka, matetika tsy maintsy miova toera-ponenana imbetsaka ny mpitsoa-ponenana ary alefa any amin'ny toerana lavitra, ka mahatonga azy ireo ho lavitry ny toeran'ny oniversite. |
25 | Refugees in Germany also face great uncertainty about the duration of their stay, not to mention significant language barriers. | Miatrika olana mikasika ny faharetan'ny ny fijanonan'izy ireo ao an-toerana ihany koa ireo mpitsoa-ponenana ao Alemaina, tsy lazaina intsony ny sakana amin'ny tsy fahaizana teny Alemana. |
26 | Unlike refugees who have completed their asylum procedures and gained protected status, other refugees cannot apply for federal subsidies or other state support, unless they have been in the country for more than four years. | Tsy toy ireo mpitsoa-ponenana nahafeno ny dingana amin'ny fangatahana fialokalofana sy nahazo satam-piarovana, tsy afaka mangataka vatsim-pianarana na fanohanana hafa avy amin'ny fanjakana ireo mpitsoa-ponenana hafa raha tsy nipetraka tao amin'ny firenena nandritra ny efa-taona mahery. |
27 | Unsurprisingly, Wings University's survey showed that more than half of the respondents were unable to attend college due to insufficient financial resources. | Tsy mahagaga raha nampiseho ny fakan-kevitra nataon'ny Wings University fa mihoatra ny antsasaky ny olona nohadihadiana no tsy afaka manohy fianarana noho ny tsy fahampian'ny loharanom-bola. |
28 | The only things students at Wings University need are Internet access, a laptop, and the time and space to study. | Ny hany zavatra ilain'ireo mpianatra ao amin'ny Oniversite Wings dia fidirana amin'ny aterineto, solosaina, fotoana sy toerana hianarana. |
29 | It remains to be seen if a school model like this can succeed with a student body working remotely in circumstances of dislocation. | Andrasana raha hahomby ny sekoly tahaka izao hoan'ny mpianatra miasa lavitry ny toerana nandosirana. |
30 | Whatever the success or failure of this new experiment, alternative education models in immigrant countries are no replacement for a functioning school system in refugees' homes, as well as better mechanisms for ensuring graduation and integration in international university networks. | Na hahomby na tsia ity fanandramana vaovao io, ny maodely fampianarana hafa ao amin'ireo firenena idiran'ny mpifindramonina dia tsy mahasolo ny rafi-pampianaran'ny mpitsoa-ponenana any an-tanindrazany , na ny fomba fiasa tsara kokoa hiantohana ny fahazoana diplaoma sy fidirana ao anatin'ny tambajotran'ny oniversite iraisampirenena. |
