In a perfect world, every child would receive a quality education in safe and peaceful surroundings. In the real world, hundreds of millions of children in villages, towns, and big cities never learn to read and write. Some because their nation is torn by war; others -- especially girls -- because of prejudice. And still others because they live in remote and wild places. That's the bad news. The good news is that people dedicated to achieving Education for All are joining forces to bring schooling to these millions of children. This book in Ron Fridell's In A Perfect World series takes a close look at the backpacking teachers, tent schools, floating schools, Internet classrooms, and community-based programs springing up in cities and remote villages around the world to provide Education for All. Book jacket.
In a perfect world, all children will receive an education in safe, effective surroundings. However, our world falls short of perfect. Ron Fridell?s Education for All: Floating Schools, Cave Classrooms, and Backpacking Teachers in his ?In a Perfect World? series gives us the bad news of where and how education falls short of perfect. But then Fridell tells us the good news: There are people and organizations dedicating their efforts to bring education to millions of children in out-of-the-way places, poor cities, war-torn countries, and places where discrimination determines who is and who is not educated. Color photos and a ?How You Can Help? section give further information that raises the reader?s awareness of one of our world?s important problems.
