Getting to Know International Contacts - Part 3


             While exploring the website, I came across an article called “Libya: the Will to Change”.  I found the information in the article interesting because after the period of unrest in Libya, not only were the school buildings destroyed, but also the educational system.  Libya finds itself in a good position to rebuild the education system in Libya the way that they want to.  With the help of UNESCO, Libyans plan to improve educational policies, regulate private education and train teachers.  They are not concerned about the enrollment of students, but in the quality of education they receive.  Libya plans to develop high quality school systems to meet the needs of their students.  I think it is wonderful that education is at the forefront of the redevelopment of this country. 

                Another article, “The Role of Education in a World of 7 Billion People” discussed the importance of education to the success of the world.  It mentioned that with an increasing population, providing education to all of the world’s children is a daunting task, especially with tightened budgets and limited resources in the classroom.  UNESCO described its stance on the area of education in this world.  They believe that every child has a right to an education and the education they receive can be huge factors in the fight against poverty and HIV.  The higher educated one is the less likely they are to fall into one of these unfortunate situations. 

                Overall, after viewing the website, I see that UNESCO is a very positive force when it comes to education.  Not only do they promote and advocate for the field, but they are also participants in many countries that are trying to revamp their education system.

  2. Very good post! Assuredly, education serves many purposes in society. Education is one of the most reliable tools to bring a positive change to society and to develop a generation of responsible individuals. Moreover, it is an escape route from poverty. The right to education is a universal entitlement that should not be ignored. Children should not be deprived of an education; it is one of their fundamental human rights.
