If the vicious cycle of illiteracy is such a large problem, and you have an idea of what needs to be done, how would you do that? I wasn't very sure by your powerpoint presentation on the solution. Where would the facilities, resources and funding come from? How would you persuade the goverment to let you come in and make all of your plan(s) happen?
Yes I would say there would be other private donations by other organizations such as the Red Cross because in my opinon UNESCO couldent be the only donator to our cause.
In response to Daril's comment, I think that if people didn't want an education, we wouldn't force them to get one. But on the other hand, I think that in this modern world, an education would be one of the most necessary things to have, and I don't think that that is the case with many people.
In response to Dominique's question, the vicious circle is more something that happens when people are illiterate. When children are illiterate, they grow up, get married, and have kids. The only problem is that either the illiterate parents can't support the families, so their children have to drop out of school and work, or the children do not get a good education. Either way, the children can become illiterate, and this is how the cycle works. I think that if the government was able to give people temporary incomes for a couple years, their children would not have to work, allowing them to go to school and become literate.
How would you transport the students to and from your schools if in many places the climate or layout of the land, or lack of roads or strategic placing of schools does not allow buses and other veichles to travel there?
Also, not all places have the technology for AC/Heat and other luxuries, and I doubt that they ever will, so how can you make it a requirement to have those things. This means that alot of countries will not have any schools.
In response to Brett's question I would say that to ensure that the viscious cycle does not continue to occur we need to jump in almost immediatley. What happens in the viscious cycle is happening right now as we speek. Our plan stated that we would have teachers deliver lighly used or new books to places in need, and end up staying there for a few years teaching. During their time teaching there will be an assistant to that teacher who will in turn leanr to teach. In places where we cannot get peopel to go we would make teachers take a program over two summers that will help them teach in sufficient way for that teacher, and his/her students. This would mainly be funded by Unesco, The Red Cross, The World Bank, and private donations. As to your question about whether or not countries will let us in, the decision is really up to them. However, I cannot imagine that any leader would deny his people of eduation unless he had a very strong feeling about it.
In response to Rachel's question, currently there is very little support for Sudanese education, and very little being done about it. We would be the ones to provide everything. The books, supplies, and teachers.
In response to Grace's question, we would enforce our school code when we sent teachers, and supplies to those countries. If the places we sent supplies to did not have the demands to meet our code we would help to get them as close as they need to be to having adequate class room as possible. If the governments in those countries oppose our coming in, and fixing their poor classrooms then we would accept their decision. We cannot force somebody into wanting in education or not, and we can certainly not stay in a country uninvited where people are opposed to our presence being there. However, under any circumstance we would do the best we could to help make sure schools who wanted, and needed our help would be proficient places to recieve a primary education.
Some parents don't see it necissary for their children to go to school, and would prefer them working. How would you convince the families to WANT to go to school?
In your presentation, you talked about a book drive in other countries to help improve the illiteracy rate. if all the books taugh a different language wouldn't either books be ignored or the country's language lost?
In response to Cody's question, the purpose of our book drive is not neccessarily for us to go in and teach all of the children how to read, but rather put them in a position to do so themselves. However, I think that realistically if we want to greatly lower the amount of illiteracy, some religious and tribal language will be lost in the process.
In response to Ian's question, not only will the Red Cross and UNESCO donate, but as we mentioned donations can be made by individuals as well as other corporations and similar programs and unions. Donations can be as low as one dollar so it will be very likely that plain individuals will give a lot as well as large corporations.
In responce to Andy's question we would convince the parents to let their kids go to school by saying something like if your kid goes to school it will make it easier for the next generation of kids to have better lives because they would have an education.
In response to Andy's question, we will never fforce anyone to get an education, however they will be strongly encouraged. Also, the campaign we are doing for iliteracy is more working with individials one or two at a time then going to school. I think that the sight of books for the children will be looked at as a recreation to do in free time since they never have had an expirience quite like it.
In reasponce to carters question. I think we would have donation areas in different countries so other people could donate money, not just people in the U.S.
In response to David's question, we would probably have subsitute teachers, but only pay them half-salary. These teachers would be able to travel and have other part-time jobs with flexible schedules. This way, there would still be job attraction, and we would only have to pay the subs half.

Would there be any other private donations besides UNESCO, The Red Cross, etc.? If so, what would they be?
How would you fund the vicious cycle? How would you get the children of the children to become literate; how would you fund that?

In reasponse to Dominique's question I would say in my opinion we would fud the Vicious Cycle with donations from outside orginzations such as UNESCO.
What if people don't want an educatiton?

How would the laws for requireing proper facilities be enforced? What if the governmnets of countries opposed the laws and didn't carry them out?
In Sudan, if children are forced to attend schools, where are the schools, supplies, facilities and teachers coming from?
How would you transport the students to and from your schools if in many places the climate or layout of the land, or lack of roads or strategic placing of schools does not allow buses and other veichles to travel there?

How would donations from one organization based in the U.S. fund the whole worlds education programs?
Where would you procure funds if UNESCO and the Red Cross could not fund you? They have a lot to fund as it is.

what would you do if you had a shortage of teachers, what would be your back up plan?
In response to David's question, we would probably have subsitute teachers, but only pay them half-salary. These teachers would be able to travel and have other part-time jobs with flexible schedules. This way, there would still be job attraction, and we would only have to pay the subs half.
