Ensured Education Worldwide (Edu Project Part I)
Education has always been a complicated issue in terms of how many people have or are allowed to have access to it along with the quality of the education they receive . Despite the fact that the Western parts of the world don’t have such problems, there are people who do care about all those children and adults, who don’t have the same opportunities in their countries (mostly third world nations).
There are more than 72 million children of primary education age that don’t have the chance to attend school and more than 759 million adults who are illiterate and incapable to understand the severity of their own and their family’s living conditions. So, it’s really important richest countries to increase their aid and help those who are in need.
As a team, we choose this STG because it is a worldwide phenomenon that lots of people want to change and our team is one of them. We have to admit that the ensured education worldwide as a goal is way bigger than us but this should not be a reason to stop us from trying to make education possible for all using an innovative idea.
As we are in a transitional stage of our first plan and thoughts, we believe that it is quite important to localize the matter in the boundaries of Greece and then, if we have the resources, to go worldwide. Our thoughts are about including donations or even making a campaign. But the biggest challenge for us, the one that we believe it’s going to make the difference, is making a platform. In this platform illiterate children and adults will be helped while litterate children and adults will be helpful. We are also interested in getting involved with non- profitable organizations that are related to the subject in order not only to network our project but also to collaborate with people who are fighting for the right of ensured education for all for so many years.
To sum up, what we know is that our goal is a hard one to achieve but what we believe is that by figuring out ways to alleviate the problem we automatically have a chance to make things better.
