ReplyDeleteMy countey pakistan is trieing to improve the education quality, Pakistan is now trieing to emphasize teacher proffesional development, textbook development and examination assessmnet with view to imporve students learning. Since 2004 the worldbank has supportedb education sector reforms
ReplyDeleteThe thing about the goal we are trieing to achieve is completely revlevent but the thing that is probably standing in the way of this goal is the focus of getting the regular school items we need. Pakistan is focussing on this and I do believe that with the pace Pakistan is going at, the goal of getting every child to get in school is very likely.

ReplyDeleteI heard that Togo is a small, thin sub-Saharan nation.It borders the Bight of Benin in the south; Ghana lies to the west; Benin to the east; and to the north Togo is bound by Burkina Faso.
The climate is:
from December to January, the Harmattan wind blows from the north. The rainy season lasts from April to July. Short rains occur from October to November. The driest and hottest months are February and March.
In kenya there is about 87.0% that can read about the ages 15 and over.Also the women and grils often or sometimes travel by foot for resourses like water and they get it from wells or ponds or trucks fill with water for farming or personnal use.

The World Bank is not an actual bank like I expected it to be. It`s actually an organization that provides poor/developing countries to fight against poverty by providing them with resources they`re in need of.
ReplyDeleteThe World Bank is focusing on co-hosting an international conference that will aim at finding possible ways to improve the millions of conditions artisanal and small-scale miners which will hopefully help to achieve Brazil`s MDGs including health, environment, gender, education, child labor, and poverty eradication.
