A boost for the world’s poorest schools, Tina Rosenberg.

I believe that education is one of the most important things in our lives. I cannot see myself without knowing how to read or write. In my home country Sweden the government made a law for school duty, every child have to go to school for a certain amount of years. Homeschooling is also illegal because of a specific curriculum that each student has to be educated with. I think that every child should have a chance to an education, unfortunately this is not how it works in many parts of the world and in under-developed countries.

This is why I think that developed countries should support under-developed countries because we are in this world together. The best thing we can do is help and get inspired from each other. “The aim of having all children in school by 2015 is one of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals that will come closest to achievement” According to the article A Boost for the World’s Poorest Schools by Tina Rosenberg. United Nations are helping poor countries with their education to get more children into school and according to the article they are making a great progress, and the goal is to have all children in school by 2015. Countries have made progress by lowering school fees, building schools and switching the language of the instructions to the language the children speak.  I think this goal shows the importance

and involvement of education. I learned from the article that even though the under developed countries have more children in school the research organization save the children realized that children was not learning in school and that is why the started a program called  “literacy boost”. Save the children created this program to promote a better learning method for teachers so the children were actually learning. I think that we need strict laws and restrictions from government and organizations like save the children, so children actually go to school. The involvement has shown a progress and with the help under developed-countries gets from developed countries they can actually achieve the goal by having all children in school.
