Education for all Part1

we live in a world where seggregation rules the day. a world where people are misled due to their situations. education is a most but why is it not all are benefitting from it. The cost of education increases frquently escpecia;;y in developing country that it is making it impossible for all to afford it. I would like to use my country Nigeria has a case study
In a country where 1 in 3 family lives in poverty and below $100 a month. If a family in poverty is to send the child to school they would have to chose some out of all their children who would go to school because they can not afford it from the purchasing of uniform and the required school materilas to the lavish fees required by schools. okay let us now assume that they want to send their ward(s) to a public school we now come to the fact that the schools are in a deplorable state and neglected.
At times this children are sent to hawk at the road side as an alternative means of income at the same time they have to go to school.
What i am trying to say is that if education is important then everybody should be kept into consinderation no matter their social class. War should be avoided so that there can be a condusive environment for learning. AIDS and HIv campaigns should be done so that people shall not miss out in their education.
If it is free then there should be proper maintainance of it.

:^| my computer is a little crazy today and just erased the message i was going to post (oh< and i can"t capitalize>
in brazil< we have a similar situation_public schools are awful (especially in the north_northeast) teachers are underpaid< resources are scarce students in elementary and middle school receive books from the government but the ones in high school don"t
however< the best universities are public but to enter one must pass the college entrance exam (vestibular) that is very competitive< making it very rare for students coming from public schools to enter
nowadays<there> you"ll find students who are finishing high school who can barely read and add|multiply the government has been investing a lot in maintaining kids in school (last government offered money for the families who would have children in school) but a lot has to be done to raise the quality in these schools for it all to actually mean something

resources for learning more about education for all

With the Millennium Development Goals, almost 200 countries have committed to ensuring education for all. Despite this commitment, 115 million children around the world will not go to school this year. NetAid, a non-profit organization building a network of activists committed to ending global poverty, just launched a “Back to School” campaign that teaches about the challenges and successes of the Education for All initiative thus far – and how people can take action, get involved, and make a difference. Check out the animated flash video to learn more and find out how to get involved: http://www.netaid.org/go/backtoschool?partner=takingitglobal
