Education is something that plays a huge role in the world we live in today. If you receive a good education, you can get very far in life. Most people have the dream of one day owning their own business and/or having their dream job, but some people don’t have the luxury of having this path laid out right in front of them. In some of the very poor countries, like Haiti, receiving a quality education is hard. Unlike in the United States, education in Haiti is an honor. Education is not a top priority in Haiti because they have so many economic issues. Most of the population of Haiti never had the chance to attend school, and then out of the ones that did most dropped out and never made it to primary school. The poor families in Haiti need their children to work instead of attending class. This is just the beginning on understanding how the economy in Haiti affects the amount of schooling children receive.

The main function of these maps is identifying the area that is suitable for building an education center on McNabs Island. I divided my analysis maps into three parts which are slope and geology, environment and cultural sites, and microclimate. For the slope and geology map, I combined the slope, bedrock and surficial geology together because I think all of them can majorly determine and describe the topography. Bedrock and surficial geology are the materials that are under the ground. They might form different topography by the geological action including weathering and eroding processes. Also, the slopes can decide whether the land is a plain or a hill. Furthermore, I think slope and geology can risk of the environmental hazards like

1. In my understanding, education is the greatest challenge in Mexico; improving the overall health of its education scheme and getting rid of a highly politicized panorama should be primary goals to set on the national agenda.

Venezuela one of the largest countries of south America was founded according to many historian by Christopher Columbus who was on his third travel to reach the south America searching for gold. Caracas, one of the most populated and most dangerous city in South America is the capital. Because of the beauty and the economic potential that made this country one the most powerful economic attic of the metropolis; it has been flatted by many Spanish travelers who settled their base there to grasp the fruit of the economy. Simon Bolivar known as the liberator of South America engaged himself and his troops in a battle for the freedom of the Venezuela. Therefore, in 1810 Venezuela has been declared officially independence and became republic in 1830. Over the course of the years, this country has known many political government with different ideology from the dictatorship of Juan Vincent Gomez known as “el bagre” to Rafeal Cardera, the predecessor of Carlos Andres Perez. Venezuela has known an economic momentum with the production of cocoa, coffee, cotton and oil. When Hugo Chavez came to power in 1999, his goal was to reinforce that momentum economy in order to bounce the social lower class. With that, he created a lot of social and economic opportunities for the lower class in the name of socialism. The government of Chavez seeks to expand the socialism political throughout the country in order to increase his popularity. The socialism system can be helpful for the lower

“Education leads to a brighter future.” Quite a clichéd phrase, actually. So popular, that people tend to forget the true significance of it. It is known that Latin America faces numerous problems that makes looking into the future a discouraging view; but we fail to realize the lack of education may be the root of these issues, including violence, unemployment and poverty. Even though education is widely available in Latin America, people are not yet engrained with the idea that education can be a facilitator for a superior life. Economic issues that stem from unemployment and poverty have led to the notion that education is wasted time that could be better spent

Teachers are the mediators for the information that students receive. When teachers are not adequately prepared in their profession it defeats the whole propose of why teachers exist to begin with. In an article titled, “Gender Equality in Education in Latin America Despite Poverty” it states, “Raising the quality of education for girls and women in the region now means reforming the school system from top to bottom for all students. What is required is better trained and better paid teachers, more local control, clear standards or performance and more money”. There is a huge need to prepare teachers in this region not just for their own personal development but for the betterment of the future of many of these students specifically for girls and women because they are the main targets that are constantly oppress in society. Susan claims that literacy rates have steadily increased but the lack of education among women still remains a problem. She states “While basic literacy has soared in much of Latin America in recent decades…pockets of illiteracy remain…boys are still viewed as more important as an economic factor in society” (2). Teachers are responsible for the future of the students but it would be hypocritical of me to blame them when their own government has not intervened in their preparation. An article titled, “Education and Inequality in Latin America” provides visual representation of the education gap in Latin America. It states, “In Brazil, one third of teachers barely passed high school…in Mexico, 70% of teachers failed the National Teacher Examination”. It is evident that the government does not have in their best interest the education and future of the students when they are not adequately and successfully preparing the mediator of

In order to find a solution, we must tackle the root of the problem. An overhaul of the education sytem and the infrastructure of the local communities is required. Admittedly, this is a daunting task for the government and it will draw debates at

There are approximately 25 students per teacher in the schools of Ecuador. Approximately 91 percent of adults and 96 percent of the youth, are able to read and write. Even though the literacy rate is high, most Ecuadorians drop out of school around the age of 15. With this said, the number of people graduating from school is increasing. With the rising graduation rate, comes a rising number of people entering college. Ecuador has a decent education system, and it continues to get better through people staying in school for the entire length to graduate. Ecuador is helping itself get better in the future by pushing people to get a better education. By building new schools, and increasing the opportunities for an education, Ecuador has opened the door for young citizens to become leaders in the future. (Gottlieb

Education is important in many cultures because it gives an opportunity to gain the skill which is needed to navigate in the world. It plays a crucial factor in all countries. Also, it is important in the country like Kazakhstan which is developing. The education system of Kazakhstan has changed a lot from the USSR’s collapsing. It was improved and modified. However, the result of PISA ranked the knowledge of the 15 years old students to 49th in 2012 (PISA 2012 Results in Focus, 2014). The ranking shows the education system of school needs an amelioration. Therefore, the Kazakhstani government requested technical assistance to improve the nation’s educational system in 2011(PISA 2012 Results in Focus, 2014). In response, the World Bank Group launched the Joint Economic Research Program, or JERP, in order to enhance the quality of education. After researches there were provided additional technical equipment to schools but the method or approach of teaching was not changed. There is mistake that the way of teaching and requirements to teachers weren’t considered that could have improved the system. The method of teaching of successful countries should have considered and applied for Kazakhstani schools’ education. Therefore, this research was conducted in order to regard the gap. As an example country for application its experience Finland was chosen because Finland’s way has significant implication for reformer, especially those who is facing the same problems. Finland

In addition to representing the change in maps, the total area (ha) covered by each category and its percentage in the landscape was also calculated in FRAGSTATS to quantify the amount of change (Table 4.1). FRAGSTATS calculates the total area of each category as Class Area (CA) in hectares and the percentage as Percentage of Landscape (PLAND) for each year. These are the two major spatial metrics that measure spatial composition of a categorical map at landscape level.
