Group Work Discussion (Dominique / Andy / Daril / Carter)
What aspect of Education for All has your group concentrated on for this project? Use the comments section of this post to discuss your group's work, research and findings and your opinions about the topic(s) you've been studying.
Our group concentrated on child labor, war and its toll on education, and child soldiers while during this project. These topics all have a big effect on the education for all. Wars toll on education is the fact that many kids aren't getting an education because their contries in war. Child labor is another big factor in the prevetion in education for all because kids start working at the age of 6 t o help their family. Finaly, child soldiers are a bid part in not having education for all because countries armies are using young kids around the age of 8 in their armies. So that means a lot of kids are dying or not being able to have an education.
My opinion on war, is that if u have war you can't have have any laws stopping school. Second, I think that child labor should be against the law and that u should have a legal working law.(18 years of age) Lastly, there should be a legal milty personel age too.(18 years of age)
Our groups topics were child labor and war. During our researches, we tied in child soldiers as well. Our group split into two smaller groups, where Daril and I focused on War and Child soldiers, while Andy and Carter worked on child labor. While I researched war, I found several articles of schools in Afghanistan being torched and burnt to the ground. Schools in war inflicted countries like Afghanistan, are being targeted because the schoold are teaching "mixed" classes. "Mixed" classes are classes that teach both girls and boys. With child labor, there are many children that would like to recieve an education, but can't because they have to work to support or help support their families. War and child labor kind of tie in. There could be a father that is killed while serving his countries armed force, and his children have to work to support the family. Another way child labor and war tie in is child soldiers. Children, like the children in Darfur, are being kidnapped and forced to join the armed forces in their country. My opinion about war, and its toll on education, is that in times of war, there should be no reason the education of children should not have to suffer.
I agree with dominique when she says that there were a lot of aritcles on Afghanistan. I thought that Afghanistan was a place that was undeveloped and is really in need of development. I also agreee with her second topic that they are having a problem with and that is mixed classes.
I thought that splitting up and dividing up the work was a good idea and for the most part i think that it worked out very well.
We decided to focus on two main topics. War and Child labor. Carter and I focused on Child labor, while Dominique and Daril focused on War. I broke up child labor into 5 sub catagorys, and we focused on two of them. They were: Working to support a Family, and Lack of Schools/Resources. Many children resort to working because their parents have died because of aids, or because they've been killed. The children must become the head of the household now, so they must work full time. Also, with a lack of schools or poor quality in schools, parent see it more profitable for children to work. Daril and Dominique focused on War. War plays a huge roll in education, because it interrupts learning and can harm the students.
Both of these issues are really important when it comes to education. Mostly all that is needed is regulation, because of the lack of enforcement.
I agree with Daril when he says that there should be more regulation. Age limits should be enforced to allow children to get a proper education when they most need it. How ever, I don't think that the working age should be that high. It should be around 15 years of age, to allow children to get atleast an 8th grade education
In response to Andy, I agree that the problem with child labor is that the children are being asked too much. Children loose their childhood at ages like 6 and 7, because their parents die, and they need to work to support the family that is left. Also when parents are in debt, or need more money to support the family, children are used to work. As Andy said, it is more profitable to have a child work now, rather than get an education in hopes of getting a job and working later on. I also agree that the spliting up of the group was succesful.
The group I worked with researched elimination of child labor as a keystone for education for all. We learned how Child labor can effect receiving an education and the problems children faced with child labor. Almost three million children from age five to fourteen are in the child labor industry today. More then half of these children work full time and can not receive and education. The other half of the three million children goes to school part time but spends most of their time working to support their family and can not attend regular classes. My opinion on child labor is that it should not exist and children should not be able to start working until the age of 15. The government should pay for each individual child’s education which includes providing them with food and shelter. That way, children can focus their effort on education and not on working to feed their family.
In response to Andy, I agree with your opinion of child labor. Children should not be forced into the labor industry until no earlier then 15. Child labor has created a boundary for education since many children who are working can not attend school. Child labor must be completely eliminated in order for everyone to become educated.
