Address The Inequality Of Children's Education In Northern Ireland

Greater attention and action against the worldwide use of child soldiers need to be addressed by the world community because children are being forced out of their homes, traumatized by all of the killings and dying surrounding them and they are being starved and beaten. Today, there are thousands of children involved in these armed jobs all around the world. There is an estimated 3,000 children, many under 16, including 500 girls in the army. (“Child Soldiers”)

Every day, thousands of children around the world wake up in the morning, grab their shoes and backpacks and head to school. Thousands of other children pick up their AK-47s and head to battle. The issue of child soldiers is as complex as it is atrocious, and its heinous nature has prompted the international community to pour vast amounts of time and resources into finding a solution. Despite humanitarian and government organizations’ best efforts, the numbers have remained relatively static over the decades, with over 300,000 underage combatants worldwide (Vautravers 96). Many scholars have declared the U.N.’s current policy as a failure and offered up proposals of their own, ranging from placement of sanctions to international

Warchild informs us that "There are an estimated 250,000 child soldiers in the world today." That’s 250,000 children suffering and being beaten and sexually abused, psychological traumatized, there is so much we can do to help prevent that by just being more aware of the world around us or even donating as much as 10 dollars by which can provide educations, food and just the basic need that will let them understand there are better ways to live them being an abused child solider. A 14-year-old girl abducted by the Revolutionary United Front in Sierra Leone shares her heartbreaking testimony to faze.ca “I’ve seen people get their hands cut off, a ten-year-old girl raped and then die, and so many men and women burned alive . . . So many times I just cried inside my heart because I didn’t dare cry out loud.” And she was only of thousands of kids living thought that as their daily lives, never knowing if they will be alive tomorrow. Unicef report that the LRA has abused children as young as 5 years old. And those who cannot carry their load while hiking for nights and days without sleep or food and keep peace with each other are killed on the spot. When you decide that you made the wrong choice like most teenagers and children do and want to leave is severely punished. Around northern Uganda over the last 15 years 10,000 children have been abducted. Child

Today, an estimated three hundred thousand children under age eighteen are participating in armed conflicts worldwide. Thousands more face recruitment or are members of armed forces and groups not presently at war.(McManimon) The life of a child soldier is filled with terror, violence, horrible living conditions, lack of proper sanitization and poor nutrition. Though being a soldier at first may seem like the child’s “escape” from the poverty they live in because of the promises that are made to them, most children are brought into situations that are often worse then what they were already living in. The children involved in these situations lose their basic human rights, are abused emotionally and physically, and are treated like slaves

“ What do you want to be when you grow up?” is the question that many children answer with aspirations of hope and achievement. For 11-year-old Hamsa the answer was a doctor but instead living out his dream, his reality is hearing that his school was bombed just before his arrival to a refugee camp in Jordan (UNHCR). Hamsa and other children make up 3 quarters out of the 7.5 million Syrians that have been internally displaced or become refugees due to the country’s current conflict (Jones and Shaheen). Although we can never fully fathom the obstacles and position of loss faced by so many Syrians, we can try to better understand one of the worst humanitarian disasters of our time. By recognizing the damaging results of Syria’s civil war creating we can try to understand numerous challenges for Syrian refugees, hosting countries and international organizations trying to aid the effort.

A legend like the United Kingdom is not simply created, it was foraged through hardships and tribulations in order to become an unstoppable force of nature. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica after many conquests by an Anglo-Saxon king, Ireland fell under English rule and formally joined Great Britain in 1800 with the Act of Union. Though Ireland later regained its independence in 1922 but two thirds of the country stayed apart of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom who was no longer a "Kingdom" but now part of a growing monarchy has endured many throughout the years. According to FiveforThrity, “The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy, with a queen and a parliament that has two houses: The House of Lords and House of Commons.” FiveforThrity also states “Supreme legislative power is vested in parliament, which sits for five years unless dissolved sooner as well as the fact that The House of Lords was stripped of most of its power in 1911, and now its main function is to revise legislation.”

Imagine using children as targets in wars and allowing them to be blown up for human sacrifice. In Syria they find these brutal actions normal and acceptable. According to Gale some children would be recuted by their own family to reduce family finances. There are an estimated 300,000 child soldiers under the age of eighteen. Some children are forced to kill their own family members or even communities (Child soldiers).The human rights violation happening in Syria is being caused by the use of young children to fight in combat, this has resulted many actions trying to take place to stop these children from being in these bad conditions.

Educational equity is the study and achievement of fairness, justice, and impartiality (equality) in education. This means ensuring that everyone’s learning needs are met. Educational equity is based on the principles of fairness in distributing resources, opportunities, treatment, and success for every student. Society has a moral obligation to make sure that all children receive an adequate education that gives them the skills needed to become contributing adults in society. This is also in society’s best interest as it is a social waste if some children do not receive a good education. It means that human talents that could contribute to society are not nurtured. All students have talents that grow through formal learning. By failing to develop those talents, society loses opportunities for enrichment and progress. Further social waste is gained by the long-term social and financial costs of poor education. Inadequate education leads to large public and social costs in the form of lower income and

*Schools should teach children about the equality of the human race and racism should be prohibited. Children living in poverty have no access to education as they are more likely to work or care for family members. Therefore, education should be free, compulsory, well-resourced, relevant and nearby. The quality of teaching is poor in many developing countries. Even children who have completed primary school may have lack of basic skills in reading, writing and mathematics. Developed countries should send several educated teachers to those countries that are in need of good teachers. Meanwhile in developed countries, people who have access to education should appreciate and not complain. However, if they choose not to have education, they should give the good opportunity to those who really need it.

In this country, education is provided to the children by the government. Many institutions are also run by the charities of the country but the government is running many boarding schools as well.

The two very well-known universities of England are Cambridge University and Oxford

The National Education of Ireland Bill was created with the help of the Stanley Letter in 1831 by E.G. Stanley to provide a better and free education to better serve the children of Ireland. The newly revised 1892 Ireland Education bill that is proposed will help children and schools across Ireland be better than the Christian Brothers Schools who refused to accept government help that will make attendance compulsory, raise teacher salaries, and the separation of church and state. The “Stanley Letter,” written by Earl G. Stanley, was the legal basis
