  1. The Struggle for Education By Richard Ding 3o221

  2. Researched Countries • Nigeria • Pakistan

  3. Education in some countries • In most parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, education rates remain stubbornly low. -Nigeria, for example, has over 10 million children are not in school. -The net enrolment ratio has only reached 71% recently in Sub-Saharan African after a sharp increase after 2000. - Around 38 million children of primary school age are still out of school

  4. Why? • In many of the Sub-Saharan African countries, students are not able to go to school as • Constant war and conflicts within the country ( Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, UAE ) • Lack of money and resources to afford going to schools (Nigeria)

  5. War and Conflicts • The Taliban, an Islamic fundamentalist political movement in Afghanistan, were very critical about their treatment towards women or girls. • They believe that only boys ought to be educated, thus they destroyed many girl schools and banned them from going to school

  6. Unable to afford school • 45% of Nigeria’s population is under 15 years of age Huge burden on the current workforce Government unable to spend too much money on education as they need it for other sectors as well

  7. Troubles these students face • Lack of quality education (lack of teachers/ schools/ overload of enrolment). It is common to see 100 pupils per teacher sitting outside the classroom

  8. Troubles these students face • Constantly hunted by the Taliban as education was illegal for girls. • Need for labor or money at home hence students have no time left for studying

  9. Can anything be done? • Governments have already started setting up declarations such as the  - Education For All declaration established in Jomtien in 1990, which aimed to provide worldwide education as well as recognizing the needs for education. - Millennium Development Goals set in Dakar in 2000.
