In response to Rachele R's question: If there was a great amount of money donated to the illiteracy rate and other subjects having to do with Education For All, I believe that there can never be too many schools, facilities, resources and teachers. We could save some money and put it into a seperate part of EFA, for the future incase something were to happen. There are many things we could do with "left over" money, but I don't think that there could ever really be money we didn't know what to do with.
You said that you would take 2% of each countries money they put towards their military and put it into your fund. How will you get other nations to agree to this?
In response to Jamie's question, there is not an exact number on how many people are killed each year by HIV/AIDS, because most cases are not reported, or people die without knowing that their death was caused by AIDS. To give you an idea, last year in Africa according to one of our articles, "almost twice the amount of teachers that were trained last year died from AIDS." They were dying off faster than they could be replaced.
In response to Alex G.'s question, we will make it a worldwide law and if you do not agree with it, and do not pay it, the United Nations will have the ability to go into your countries bank account or money savings and take that 2% of your military funds. 2% is not really that much so most countries would agree with it, but the poorer countries that would have a hard time taking that monet away would most likely be the ones that were helped most with their education system to further achieve education for all.
in response to carter's question. Countries that have to pay from their military fund would and could probably only countries that are members to the U.N.. If a member of the U.N. doesn't cooperate, then they will be excluded from the plan, but they will not receive any funds for education from the big pot.
Since women make up approximately 50% of the population in most countries, if they are not already allowed the chance to an education, the country they live in is shortchanging themselves by about 50%. If women were to be educated so that they could make just as much money as the men of the country, that country's average annual income would double. Prices would go down, the value of money would go up, and women would be on top of their lives. In addition, educating women has proven to make the women healthier, their children healthier, give them a higher live birth rate, and a lower pregnancy rate. In short, a country could flourish if they educated the women of that country.
In response to Daril's question. A lack of funding would probably not happed, because AIDS is already a huge issue that people try to help, and there is always someone who is willing to give a lot to the cause. Womens education is something that many women seem to be attracted to as it is, so that fund would get a lot of support from women who value education. Things like marathons tend to raise a lot of money as well because a lot of runners want to compete, so there wouldn't be much trouble there. And thats not to mention the funds we could and probably would receive from the government and from other charitable organizations.
In response to Rachel’s question. Encouraging girls to go to school will start with the community and parents. The communities have been practicing traditions for generations and follow the rules that the voodoo priest of the village puts down. These usually require that every girl be sent to him for a certain amount of time in place of school. I read an article that explained how the voodoo priest in a village was changing its rules and said that one girl from every family could attend school while the rest were to come to him. Even then there was one mother that sent both her girls to school. Ideas can be changed over time and if we were to send someone in to advertise the importance of female education eventually we hope someone would listen. The girls themselves I don’t think really need encouraging because many of them want to go to school anyway.
Response to Andy’s question. An education for the teachers would be making sure they learn respect, about HIV/AIDS, about ways to keep kids in order without using harsh methods, ways to reward, and ways to encourage their students. The teachers must also know how to interact with the parents and other community leaders. They must be able to teach about things that not all of the adults in the community would be open to and must be honest when they don’t know an answer to a child’s question; they shouldn’t give out false information. They will be able to learn this through classes that we require and lessons we have set up.
In response to Demi’s question. There would be two schools in every major city and schools for every 4-5 villages or towns. Its possible that we could do a bus system to transport kids. We didn’t really focus on the subject it was just a solution for the overall education and it could be part of the female education solution as well. For girls education we would build a school near the city and one for every 5 villages. There would be no transportation needed in this situation because the schools would be boarding schools.
In response to Daril's question: There are almost 200 countries in the world, which doesn't exactly seem like a lot, but subtracting %.2 of their militia funding would certainly add up. Even if out of the 193 countries in the world, 150 agreed to our preposition, we would certainly get millions and millions of dollars. If you look at Allie's post in response to Grecco's question, she stated that it would become a law to give up %.2 of their militia's funding. There would be an even larger fining if a country did not agree to this, so, we could even get more money if a country decided they didn't want to do this.
As an additional response to Dominique's question, an educated women can be a secret weapon. On average, an educated women earns 50% more annually than an uneducated women. This makes educated women secret weapons because the men of the world do not expect this salary difference. Many men do not want women to get an education because they are scared what a women armed with an education could do to the world. If every women in the world had a good education, than women could take over the work force. For example, in the baby project women that have the same education level, and the same job as men, earn a lot less then the men do. This could be good for women because more people would pay attention to women around the world and they would be more respected through the eyes of men.
In response to Cody's question, we would probably make about 1/4 of our homeless and orphaned children teachers. This would incrase the teacher population enough to raise our world out of its unsustainable deficit in teachers. Once the other 3/4 was out of school, they would be out of our hands. In our schooling programs we will have taught them the basics in business and social skills so that they will be able to get a job and support their family. It is just like how high schools don't support you after you graduate...it is up to you how you live the rest of your life.

What would you do with or if there was any money left over from the funding?

Do you know aproxamatly how many teachers/students are killed by HIV/AIDS each year?
What if people don't donate enough or even not at all so you don't have enough money?
In your eyes, how will educating women benefit society overall?
How and where would you build the girls schools, and how would you find faculty and the right resources?
You said that you would take 2% of each countries money they put towards their military and put it into your fund. How will you get other nations to agree to this?
How would you encourage more girls to go to school?

You said you would take money from the military to fund your project. How and why would you do that?
Whats considered an "Education"? In your presentation you said "Have teachers get an education." Could you elaborate on that?
About how many homeless children or orphans would you make teachers, and how would you support the rest of them?

how would you be able to take the money from the military? Some countries need as much money for military as they can.
