The Development Of A Primary Education For All

“124 million children and adolescents are out of school, 63 million girls are out of school around the world, an estimated 90% of children with disabilities in the developing world do not go to school, 25% to 75% of children in the most deprived regions of poor countries cannot read a single word, and yet only 2% of humanitarian aid has been invested in education” (Bandwidth). Standing between these children and the classroom is a lack of funding for quality basic education to help them overcome the barriers to school such as tuition fees, disabilities, lack of sanitation, lack of access, and poorly qualified teachers. The United States and other countries must commit to providing education for all children. If we are to end extreme poverty, then every child, every future global citizen needs good education, because education is not only for the privileged few, it is a right of every child. The developed nations need to support the expansion of educational opportunities for boys and girls

Last Decade governments and high ranking officials from across the globe came together under the magnanimous principles of The Universal Declaration of Human rights giving birth to the millennium development goals.The 8 goals and 21 targets capture ambitious promises such as eradicating poverty and hunger and achieving universal primary education by 2015. (UN.org) Yet with just a few months away from the deadline this historic chapter will close in tragedy.The setting for this tragic tale is Sub-Saharan Africa where 50 million children and youth still remain out-of-school.Despite extraordinary progress in enrollment stark disparities still remain. Poor children across the region are victims of an insidious “lottery of life” where the family they are born into means everything and nothing. (efa governance matters)For a poor child born into poverty the chances of that child finishing school once they start are slim, and if that child happens to be female she can only dream of what it’s like inside a classroom. Experts have declared Africa’s education crisis a state of emergency as dangerously low completion rates, and poor learning achievement have left an indelible stain on educational goals. Africa’s education crisis is a result strong socio-economic and cultural barriers which have created major stumbling blocks in both access to education and learning outcomes.Consequently millions of of children and youth are being robbed of their futures.

Our first opportunity is education, especially for women. There are over twenty countries that don’t have education for women. For several countries, women don’t go to school. If women do go to school, they are often pulled out when they hit puberty. This is for purity reasons for religion and for family honor. In the country of Chad, only ten percent of girls complete elementary school. In developing countries, one in four people can’t read a simple sentence. Almost 250 million children don’t have basic skills

Education is very essential in advancing the lives of many people in developing nations; diverse partners and governments have teamed up to bolster the advancement of essential education in developing countries. Education is broadly viewed as the course to financial flourishing, the way to logical and innovative headway, the way to battle unemployment, the establishment of social value, and the spread of political and social imperatives (Chapman & Austin, 2002). While progress has been made in expanding the quantity of young children enlisted in schools, there are still numerous who are not selected and who do not finish the o level education. The confirmation demonstrates that the systems expected to handle education issues will need to fluctuate and address the current crises in developing countries through implementation of education policies and programs to enable gender equity in nurturing skills of the their population through education.

Although in the 21st century, there are countless options for youth to access education, vulnerable populations suffer a lack of opportunities in achieving this goal, and in developing countries this dream is even more unattainable. Worldwide there are approximately 1.2 Billion to 1.8 Billion people aged between 15 and 24 years old, and in developing countries there are 175 Million illiterate young people, and 60 percent of the youth population suffer from a lack of occupation (Bernhardt, Yorozu & Medel-Añonuevo, 2014, p. 280). For an equitable world, education must be a universal right that represents the key to acquiring knowledge and to developing the skills necessary to participate in society. However, in poor countries, education is a

In my program the main focus is partnership to benefit the child, because we take in consideration the needs of both the school and the family in creating the best environment for the child.

Effective communication between schools, parents, the community and students forms the foundation in developing and maintaining partnerships.

A strong School-Community Plan (SCP) is essential to enhance relations because as Pawlas (2005) explains, “it has a direct link to students. Its purpose is to directly improve and enhance learning for students,” (p. 23). After reading and reflecting, I believe creating goals for the school that develop two-way communication, proactive involvement, and opportunities for the community to become actively involved would be fundamental.

According to the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. “focuses on improving healthcare, increasing education standards and teacher training, building capacity in agriculture to address regional food security, and developing clean energy to adapt to global climate changes.” The United States has publicized this issue various times in the media. Additionally, China has also put in effort to assist Africa’s educational development. The country promised to increase the number of government scholarships, send more inbound Chinese teachers to Africa, and build more rural schools (University World News: China in African Education). The educational system in Africa is significant to people globally because the African education serves as a cause of the problems they face. After receiving an education, the lost generations of children may overcome poverty, inequality, and unemployment. Because future discoveries are seeded inside the motivated students, millions of kids’ potential would no longer wasted by the educational

Is education a basic human right? According to Article 26 of the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights, yes. It states that everyone should have access to free primary education and equal opportunity access to higher education. Unfortunately, in many places around the world, access is limited either monetarily or governmentally, and even when it is available, a lack of resources or a lack of proper educators can severely limit the quality of the education. As many as 115 million primary-age children around the world are not currently in school, and of those who are in school, over 226 million never attend secondary school. In some parts of Africa the literacy rate in children is below fifty percent. Let’s take a look at one developing country in particular, South Africa, which is considered to have one of the worst education systems on the planet.

Not enough children or adults are receiving the education they need in order to be successful. It’s unfair that we are receiving that education while the children in Africa are poor and are looking for materials in order to survive. Education is the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at a school. If you think about it that if people around the world knew information or about the world, we may be able to solve world's problems.

Since independence in, Kenya has had its share of the struggle to make it possible for its population attains education for all. This was out of the realization that education of the population would help fight ills that faced the society, among them included; poverty, ignorance, and disease. In fact, the government treated education as a basic right for every Kenyan child. Education has ever since been regarded as a fundamental factor for human capital development. In response to this urge, government developed policy documents that sort to expand access to education for its citizens. It is internationally recognized that everyone has a right to education, as agreed upon at various international conferences. Kenya tried to

For example, it was observed that there were 5,673 village schools that were considered as “a local community initiatives” (Hanson, 2010) that were operated by Ugandans and settled with a combination of indigenous knowledge and Christianity. World Bank’s, (2007); the International Finance Corporation, a private arm, has pointed out that only half of its Africa projects succeed while many other donors have not.
