NGO

Action at the International Level

If we had the money, we'd donate to Plan Canada, a NGO that supports social justice for children in developing countries. They started the organization "Because I Am a Girl", created to promote gender equality. They have a good vision and mission, which is to give children, their families and their communities with their basic needs, to build a strong relationship, increase unity among people of different ethnic origin and to overcome issues of gender discrimination and girls rights.

This issue of a lack of education requires action at the international level. This is because people need education to have a job with a high wage, so they can get enough money for them to survive.

Canada's Involvement

How Canada is Helping

In July of 2006, Prime Minister Steven Harper declared that Canada would be giving $25 million to Education For All. He also said that Canada would increase their funding for African education by 50 million by 2011.

The Canadian International Development Agency is in partnership with many African countries including Tanzania. Thanks to debt-relief, this country can now invest in basic education and fees. With International help (especially Canada :), Tanzania is heading towards accomplishing their MDG.

There are many Canadian (non-profit) charities that raise money for African children's education. These charities may be both federal or local ones. One example of a charity dedicated to education is the Aninga project, a Canadian charity supporting African girls by paying for tuition and

other expenses.

Reasons Keeping Girls from Getting an Education

In particular, girls in developing countries are more vulnerable to the lack of education, and there are multiple reason keeping them from education, such as:

1. Cost for getting an education, education should be free, but there are many costs involved like textbook, supplies and uniforms that families in poverty cannot pay for.

2. Distance from their school, as there are not many schools and usually just one primary one, the walk could take up to 5 hours! The dangers they may face on the long walk, most decide not to let their daughters go to school

3. Violence at school, in school, they may face violence from peers, teachers, etc and so if parents find out, they may take them out of school

4. Gender norms, many decide that a girl's contribution to the household is far more important than their education

5. Poverty, many families are not able to obtain food and water, and thus the children are not well enough to attend school

6. Early marriage, when girls are forced to marry at a young age, it pulls them out of school during a time in their learning that could really help them.

Compare and Contrast

Video "Room to Read", Turiani, Tanzania

Consumer, rent, restaurant and grocery prices are all remarkably lower in Tanzania than in Canada. But while Canada is a well developed, wealthy country, Tanzania is not. Many people in the country are poor, and while still developing, necessary resources are less easy to come by. This is why Canada has to and can help people less fortunate than us.

A Solution

Canada

Tanzania

The Lack of Education

Every little bit makes a difference. We can help solve this issue by changing the mindsets of people to show them how important education really is. Children's rights should be enforced and more schools should be built. Donating to charities and global movements such as World Vision, Plan Canada, Humanium and many other can also have a huge impact.

Tanzania

The lack of education of children in developing countries is a large global issue that many face. This problem is especially directed towards women. Many believe that a girl's contributions to the household are far more important than their education. But few realize that education plays an important role in life, and the lack of education is the root of some of our greatest problems. Education is supposed to be a basic right, but most children don't get one. Lack of access to a proper education keeps millions from escaping poverty. Getting girls and boys into school is a Millennium Development Goal (MDG).

In specifically Tanzania, education is such a problem because it is a developing country. Many people are poor, and so they cannot access resources as often as they like. Also, because more work needs to be done at home and schools are of highest quality, girls and children who aren't benefited enough can't go to school.

More About Tanzania

  • Tanzania is home to Africa's tallest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro.
  • Tanzania's political system is a unitary presidential democratic republic, so the President of Tanzania is also the head of state and the head of the government, along with a multi-party system.
  • As of 2012, Tanzania's total population was 44, 928, 923. Almost half the population is under 15 years of age.
  • The average age is about 17 years
  • The life expectancy from birth is about 60 fore males, 62 for females.
  • Tanzania's official languages are Swahili or Kiswahili.
  • Turiani is a place in Tanzania where children can not get a proper education

due to crowded classrooms, not enough money for books and supplies,

etc.

Reasons for a Lack of Education

For many children, their denied rights to an education because of inequality and marginilization.

Things like one's gender, health, cultural identity, ethnic origin, language, and religion don't let kids get then education they need. This puts kids at the margins of the education system, and many children are forced to drop out because they are from disadvantaged backgrounds, health problems or to help support their family.

The Goals of Education for All

Canada is one of many countries that is committed to following the Goals of Education for All. These six goals are:

"Goal 1: Expand and improve comprehensive early childhood care and education, especially for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children.

Goal 2: Ensure that all children, particularly girls, children in difficult circumstances and those belonging to ethnic minorities, have access to and complete, free and compulsory primary education of good quality.

Goal 3: Ensure that the learning needs of all young people and adults are met through equitable access to appropriate learning and life-skills programs.

Goal 4: Achieve a 50 percent improvement in levels of adult literacy by 2015, especially for women, and equitable access to basic and continuing education for all adults.

Goal 5: Eliminate gender disparities in primary and secondary education, with a focus on ensuring girls' equal access to basic education of good quality.

Goal 6: Improve all aspects of the quality of education and ensure excellence of all so that recognized and measurable learning outcomes are achieved by all, especially in literacy, numeracy, and essential life skills."
