BACKGROUND

Why does it matter?-Moral Reasons

o Education=Human Righto Never-Ending Cycle:

Another Moral Reason

We have enough money and resources:

Less than one percent of what the world spent each year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000Shah, Anup. “Poverty Facts and Stats.” Global Issues. 24 Nov 2006. 21 Jan 2008 <http://www.globalissues.org/TradeRelated/Facts.asp>.

Why does it matter?-Connections with Other Global Issues

Education and Poverty, as shown in the Never-Ending Cycle

Education and Digital Divide -Technology can be a form of education

Education and Labor/Migration-Migrant Workers’ children often have less education opportunities

Why does it matter?-Connections with the World

Literate and educated people can communicate.

They can solve other global issues. Education is either a great equalizer or a

great divider.
