On the education for all blog the main focuses that seems to span across many of the posts is the goal to give every child a shot in getting a quality education.  I find it intriguing to look at some of the ways they are trying to accomplish this and also some of the other articles that have furthered my knowledge on the subject on educating the world.  I think that one of the articles that really interested me was talking about getting the youth involved in spreading global education.  These kids know how the education system works seeing that they have been in it, and can understand how to better things, and how to possibly bring about changes where needed.  It seems like a good move to get young people involved to further the spread of knowledge and awareness around the world.

Another article that caught my eye was an article that talked about that ability to read in Liberia.  The article talks about students lack of reading skills which not only inhibits them from being able to learn from reading in class and outside of class, but it also hurts them significantly on tests.  These tests have directions on them that require the student to read them and the subsequently answer those questions.  Because of the students  lack of basic reading skills it is hard for them to move on in schooling.  They end up failing out and not being able to continue their education. The way they want to try and implement a better approach to reading is by giving the teachers better training in how to teach reading skills.  They are also going to encourage the kids to work things out on their own instead of just having them write down things and not speak during class. The “I do, We do, You do” approach seems to be very successful and changing the way that things work in Liberia for the betterment of children’s reading.  Therefore moving their education along as well.

I think that this is a great blog and has helped me learn more an more about educating the world.
