Latin America(Central and South America)
WHAT IS HAPPENING AT THE PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES
GFUUPSS presents, below, an historical background of primary and secondary school education in various parts of the world, the lack thereof, and the impact it has on poor and minorities in third world economies as well as in the industrialized countries.
ACTION NEEDED
It is imperative that policy makers place primary and secondary schools at the top their agenda, to reduce poverty in third world countries and to increase the opportunity for all in Industrialized countries. GFUUPSS is proposing a different, but a step by step approach to improving education starting at the primary school level in underdeveloped countries, as well as in the industrialized countries where crime and poverty are rampant due in part to lack of opportunities.
A NEW APPROACH
The new approach is the introduction of a rigorous approach to science and technology in the classroom and an emphasis on reading and comprehension. The time to make learning a "fun thing", is now. Children will be encouraged to be creative and to think outside the box. Rote method of learning will be de-emphasized. Our motto should be "EDUCATE, TO ERADICATE POVERTY AND DISEASE". We can reduce the cycle of wants and dependency through opportunity.
