Getting to know your international contacts -part 2
My contacts did not even have to share with me the inequity that they experience with their children. The children in their schools do not have the resources needed to make education as successful as possible. Limited supplies, academic books, and even technological supports inhibit these communities from accessing the needed tools to make learning creative and interesting for their students. Nigeria is still trying to repair their government from the past demolition that was done to it from the past leaders. The students do not start their education until they are 6 years of age and often times are hindered from being able to get an education at that point. They are forced to stay at home or obtain jobs to help their families provide for each other. In Rwanda, they are opposite in a few ways compared to Nigeria. They are expanding their agricultural aspects and creating work opportunities to embrace economic gain for their residents. The students education is geared more towards labor education, but it is better than them being deprived of an education at all.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI thought your post was very interesting and informative. It's sad to hear that the children in Nigeria don't have the proper resources or supplies to even get the proper education. It makes me think and realize there is still a lot of work to be done for those counties such as Nigeria that don't have the resources or contacts to help in the education system as needed. There are many other issues such as poverty and lack of education in the families that contribute to this and the lack of opportunities that the country itself offers for the families.
