Final Post

Today as I was reading other post, I gain many insights that help me to foster a healthy development about the education in international countries.  I did not make contact but I did enjoy reading other blogs that made contact. 

The consequences that have helped me gained insight on the international reasearch are gaining an understanding of the United States educations system and the problems in the US are the same in other countries.  Another consequensce is that the children across the world lact the education growth they deserve.  They are missing out mainly because of funds.  The last consequences is that of the hunger and poor in the there countries keep them for keeping up on their  schools and lack what is need to get an education. 

This course has given me many resourses to follow the international organizations that helped me see that not only are there problems in the US but there are worst ones in other countries.  My goal is to continue the research of international countries and make efforts to study a solution.

A VIEW from UNESCO

This week in the new of the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization has several interesting links.  One link that I really interested in was an article on The Right to Education.  It explains that all human have the right to education and to get out  of poverty is by having an education.  Yet millions are still are in poverty because they lack education.  Millions have not realized that to come up out of poverty help them emotionally and socially.

Another link was about  Speaking your mother's tongue is not a disability. This is an interview with Dr. Colette Grinevald.  Dr. Grinevald spoke in the interview about the mother language day.   All the languages mothers need to send out a message to speak their own language.  She identifies that more than 6000 language and only 200 are taught.  A method called research action to help detect those languages that are not  taught.  She also states that it would help to have bilingual education because it would support the mother language  on an "eradicate" altogether.

Sharing Web Resources

Today as I was looking as other sources to research, I decided to look at New Zealand.  I read come others but they have one big issues that we have been studying.  Today, the issue is about cutting funds to make quality education.  I think we have heard about that quite often in last week on inequity in quality and in funds.  The article was title Treasury Report Threatenn to Increase in Early Childhood Fees. The Treasury made recommendations to increase childcare fees and drop in the quality of  education er the licensed body in New Zealand.  The recommendation suggests that government target existing childhood funding to children in low income household. The budget cuts will put stress on the working family, and reduce the staff of qualified workers and last will cut in some of the school academic programs.  These cuts were as result of childcare revenue cuts back in 2010.  Also the council feels the children that are at risk will be getting in early childhood but have less achievement in primay and secondary schools.  They do not support the idea to purchase of the cost of educational quality and increase fees for everyone else. The quality of education was an issue but these cuts will discuss when the new budget comes out in May 2012. 

After reading these problems in New Zealand, sound like they are stressing with the some of the same issues we are in the United States. I know in Mississippi we are currently trying to seek funds to run some of the school districts here.

Getting to Know My International Resource

This week I decided to discuss the issues on the Global Children Initiative, because I have not heard from my international contact.  I did find some of the same issues that we have been discussing and reading about in our resource in the Global Children Initiative. 

Some of the main insights that I got from the web site. One was the Early Childhood.  It was to adapt to successful center for global dialogue in the early years.  Second was to generate and apply new knowledge about health and developmental needs. 

Second insight was about the child mental health.  This was assessing the state of mental health in Shanghai, Chili.  Second, develop and evaluate a family-base strategy to prevent mental health.  Finally, address the maltreatment in the Caribbeans countries.

The last insight is the children and crisis.  The Global Children Initiative is exploring synergies to work on emergency situations across the world.

Some other insights are the Global Children Initiative have been offering some training to incorporate more diverse leadership and also training for more research, policymakers, institution rimaily in the majority of the world.
