Rich Kids In Low-Income Countries Get Most Of The Public Education Money: UN - 8 views

  •  
    "A new United Nations report finds that almost half of public education resources spent in low-income countries of the developing world goes to benefit just 10 percent of the best-educated students, who tend to come from affluent families. The report from the United Nations Children's Fund, also known as Unicef, was released Thursday at a press conference with former U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Unicef allies at the World Economic Forum."We need to radically revise current practices by providing more resources and allocating them more equitably," Yoka Brandt, Unicef deputy executive director, said.The trend documented by the report shows poor, developing-world countries mimicking a trend in the United States, which stands out as one of the only industrialized countries that devotes less public money to educating students from low-income families than on educating students from high-income families. " The article is about how a lot of the public education resources goes to Rich Kids in low-income countries. This is have or have not if you live in this countries because if you come from a rich or poor family it will affect you ability to get a good education. Since the majority of people in low-income countries are poor they don't have a chance to be educated and make a change or even get a well paid job to support their families.
