Class+Notes

Class Notes
These are notes that we took together in class. They are based on four main topics that we are working on.


 * Education for All **
 * Better yourself
 * People don’t get education and can’t solve their problems (in Africa)
 * Girls don’t get to go to school in 3rd world countries..place is in the home
 * Uneducated people don’t get education, can’t get job, no money, can’t raise children
 * Empowering to have an education...know what their rights are...realize democracy...people rule themselves..spreads democracy
 * More people educated, more choices, jobs, money etc
 * Education means opportunity
 * In some countries, children have to stay home and work for family..be more efficient with education
 * It is a basic human right to have an education
