(2008). Education for All: The View from Tanzania and Kenya. In Comparative and international education: Issues for teachers (pp. 66-73). Toronto: Canadian Scholars ' Press. I will be referring to Karen Mundy’s chapter on Educational for All: The View from Tanzania to Kenya to highlight the historical evolution of educational development in Tanzania. Mundy speaks to the long history of governmental efforts made in Tanzania to use education to support economic and social development. She provides an extensive historical overview of Tanzania’s educational development, starting from Nyerere’s policy of “Education for Self-Reliance” to the abolishment of user fees for primary education in 2003. This would be useful in my study as I…
Diagnosis Writing Assignment Education as an essential element to overcome poverty Developing countries have experienced great progress in primary education access. From 2000 to 2011, the enrollment rate increased from 83% to 90%, and the number of children who had never gone to school decreased by half (from 102 million in 2000 to 57 million in 2011). However, even today 250 million children are unable to read, write or do basic maths. It is not enough to provide school access, improving the…
The Internet is not as useful for primary school students as it is for secondary and higher education students because children do not have the same level of maturity as adults. Paul says that when he was young he “understood as a child” and “thought as a child” but as he grew he “put away childish things.” Children have a different mindset than adults. They have not had the time and training required to have control of their minds. Because of the lack of control, the Internet should not be…

Primary and Secondary Education: Canada vs Hong Kong It is believed amongst most people that education gives people the skills to navigate the world. It allows them to learn how to express verbally, write, and read efficiently. Most importantly, it forms individuals for the future job market and teaches them how to perform those jobs successfully. Many factors come into play when trying to understand what makes countries education system effective. In the following lines, I will compare and…
To do so, we must look into what the major causes of the gap really are. I could see how education might rise to the top of that list, putting a lot of attendees into debt before they even start working. However, I do not believe education is the primary cause of the growing gap between those living in a middle-income bracket and those living in an upper-income bracket because it is possible to achieve high paying jobs without an education and resources are available to help cut those costs.…
Working as a qualified swimming instructor after completing the STA level two certificate in January 2016 has sparked my desire to undertake a career in primary education; seeing the children progress and improve their swimming during their lessons with me has been truly rewarding and has given me the passion and determination to take the skills I have learnt from my experiences into a classroom setting to provide children with the best possible education. I have learnt that patience is an…
BUSI710 Project B Case Study The case study instructions were to read the case study, and to write a few paragraphs about possible biases the researcher may have expressed in this case. While I technically agree with the concept that a chair or workplace is not needed for every child, it causes one to feel that students are shortchanged if they do not have a seat or workplace for study. However, if you consider the possibility of more than one lunch period, physical education class, and study…

This is a catastrophe, a lack of universal primary education contributes to a lot of the world problems.
