Is Education important, Why?

Education gives knowledge of world around us It helps us give opinions and also debate on many things It also teaches us the right behavior, manners and how to

lead and live our lives It equips us with all things needed to make our dreams

true Opens opportunities to a great career Also wipes out all the bad beliefs It builds a confidence to make decisions throughout your

life It tells you how to accept failures and successes

Children not going to school

Children are forced to work instead of go to school

Girls are forced in labor

Over-population In classes More than 50 a class

Only one teacher

Non aged classes Not in the right age

Not proper education Still concern in education

Not relevant to their education in future

Mostly minority group problem

How these problems happen

Mainly poverty

Less schools built

Don’t care about child’s life

Thailand overview Great country Rich culture Ancient history Beautiful nature But many gaps in their education

Local Solution Unicef, Unesco Hope are trying to help by

giving kids money to go to school

They are trying to build more teacher schools

Thai government has meeting ever week how to get better education

Personal Statement We can talk to Unicef,and other buisness

and raise charity

Make an organization by ourselves, go to Thailand , encourage them to education
