Education In Third World - 2 views

  •  
    "With the daily challenges posed by economic difficulty and other threats, governments in developing countries are working very hard to ensure that their educational institutions continue to provide a standard of education that can make its citizens at part with the educated people in more economically sound countries. To a certain extent, these Third World countries have succeeded in their crusade for quality education. The problem is that a good education comes with a price and it is often a price that many people in Third World countries are not able to pay. So, although quality education is available, it is still unreachable for a large segment of a developing country's population. Certainly, it is impressive to see that developing countries have educational institutions that are world-class and which offer education that can rival that provided by wealthier nations around the world. There is a clear recognition of the role that education plays in overcoming hardship and poverty. However elusive it may be, a good education is still viewed as the best way to a better life. Among the developing countries that have superb educational systems are such "emerging markets" as Mexico, India, Brazil, Turkey, the Philippines, Egypt, South Africa, Malaysia, Thailand, much of South America and several of the Persian Gulf Arab States. Obviously, the poorest of the poor in these countries will have a hard time getting into the best schools in their vicinity. Of course, there are always scholarship programs available but these are few. Besides, people at the lowest spectrum of the economic scale are more concerned with more pressing issues related to their mere survival such as where to find food and money for clothing and shelter. After these basic needs are met, that is the only time that parents can really focus on their children's schooling.

Feb.28, 07 : Conditions in MCD Schools horrible - Delhi High Court | Social Jurist | Co... - 2 views

  • It was pointed out by the RETF in its last visit report that 15 classrooms of this school have been declared dangerous and the students in large number are sitting in open.
  • These dangerous classrooms may collapse anytime and this Nithari Village of Delhi may be converted into another Nithari of Noida by causing death to many children.  
  • Most of the classes were being held in the tents, in the open space and in the corridors. The tents were in very pathetic condition and there were big holes in these tents.

      This shows another reason why the school is bad. The classrooms are held in tents where probably most students can't even learn properly because their squished.

  • The toilet block was too dirty to use as nobody can dare to enter in these toilets. There was no proper arrangement of water in the toilets. It must be noted that as per the statutory provisions there must be 1 toilet seat per 25 students (girls) but there were only 4 seats for 2846 students in this school. The students were found pissing at open

      This shows how horrible the bathroom conditions are. The school needs a normal and good bathroom. Students don't even have bathrooms to use, they have to do their buisness around the schools which is really gross.

  • Though there was a water tank but it was dry as according to the Head Master, the motor was out of order.

      The school doesn't even have water for the kids. Its dry and not good for them.
  • It was very difficult for RETF team to enter the school as the garbage dumb were there to block the entrance of the school. The drains outside the school were chocked due to which connecting roads to the schools were filled with the dirty water and mud. As the school is situated just adjoining to a cremation ground, the smell of burning dead bodies was making the whole atmosphere horrible. The foundation for school building was laid down on 05.12.20

      This is MCD Primary School, but in another area. The school has burning dead bodies, which 1) is disgusting and 2) isn't safe for the kids. Burning Dead bodies is a health hazard.
  • here were no classrooms at all and the school was looking like a refugee camp
    • MEGAN M
       
      No classroms, refugee camp? This shows the school needs to be changed, it's not fit to be in a school
  •  
    This is important because it shows how bad the classrooms are in this school and how bad the overall school is. It needs a renovation or a complete change to be safer for students to learn in.

    Good. Please use all lower case, unless tagging proper names such as India and Delhi. Can you highlight passages that help you create an image of what schools look like?
