- Martina According to a uruguayan newspaper “El pais”, teenagers drop school as a consequence of the lack of support that these children present on their lives. This is most likely to happen in the middle and lower classes of the uruguayan society, and so this program should provide students the necessary life skills for them to be able to be prepared for the future. Establish more specialized programs that guide students through their first years of high school and help them to discover their employability interests. This program should be available for those teenagers that are in between the ages of 15 and 18 years old so that we prevent them from dropping school and making a smart decision on whether to go to college or not.
- This could be potentially improved by using our program “Life” which would provide the Uruguayan citizens with basic skills for being able to face the new challenges in their lives. Martina
- Aseda and Hailey :As you can see, this is very serious issue in Ghana. Some of the causes of this, is that parents don’t have money to pay for their child’s education, so children end up working for their parents who work in the under class. Despite the governments efforts, the number of schools are not enough, so children end up going to school for only half of the year which is called the double track system. Out of the 600,000 children not in school,only 400,000 get to go to school through this system. Due to the the lack of financial resources,teachers do not benefit from basic teacher training.Because of that there are not enough teachers available so classes tend to be overcrowded. Children also tend to drop out because they lack basic resources and also do not see a future for themselves due to a lack of fundamental life skills. Also because children have to work for their parents who work in the underclass, they don’t get to follow their dreams. So when the program is introduced into their schools they gain fundamental life skills which they aren’t necessarily taught by their parents and experience jobs which they might be interested.
