Improving Education Globally

Discussion
Nov 19, 2009

Schools around the world are underfunded and in need of money. These schools usually are are located in poor nations such as Haiti, Pakistan and Iraq. There are many different reasons why these schools and nations are poor and need our help. In Iraq, there is a war going on that is affecting the schools and their kids. Having to live in an unsafe environment is no place for kids to grow up in. Haiti on the other hand isn't in a war but is a very poor nation. Schools are small and only hold a limited amount of rooms.These nations will keep having problems if nothing is done about it and one of the first things to do is to eliminate one of the biggest sources of bad education, poverty.

Poverty is one of the biggest crisis that has befell the world. Some families don't have enough money for food or a place to stay for that matter. Many nations are poor and because of that, the kids and schools are affected in a negative way. Some ways we can fix poverty around the world is to first end all of the wars in the world. Second we could provide the underprivileged nations with technology that they don't have such as medicine and education for their students. Also by increasing jobs in different nations will increase their economy meaning that the nation will have more money to spend on education. The U.N has set a global standard of education that every nation should reach by 2015 which is a sign that the U.N is trying to help the underprivileged nations teach their children the content that all kids around the world should know.
