What is education like in a third world country? Third world
countries are poor and technology is still in the past. There are developments
in few areas but not the vast majority. Most people can’t afford laptops let
alone ipad, the large community tend to rely on cyber café’s which charge for this
service. Wifi is available in a few hot pots but only chosen few can access
this service.
How are children taught? Children are taught in the old
fashion way, in some parts of the country, a classroom is under a tree, lack of resources
like blackboards. The Government has an incentive to provide laptops but not
even the teachers have the knowledge to use them.
What sort of class sizes do they have? The classes in some
areas have a ratio of 40 pupils to one teacher; one class room and not enough
resources to aid teaching.
How do children learn
In and out of schools? Extra-curricular activities like sports take up most of
times out of classroom; advantage of this is good weather outdoor in most
tropical countries.
What sort of things
do they learn about? Children learn about numbers, money management, IT using computers, Religion, etc.
Technology is Good in some areas but not even accessibility
in rural parts of the country. The urban areas seem to have developed a lot and
engaged with modern technology. a lot more needs to be done to improve teaching in third world countries.
