Compare the Pair: Toorak College

Compare the Pair: School in Chad

Compare the Pair

Toorak College• We have tables and chairs • We have widows and solid

buildings• We have whiteboards and

interactive whiteboards• We have heating and

cooling• Uniform

School in Chad• The floor is dirt• The classroom is made of

clay • There is no glass in the

windows• Very simple learning

equipment such as books and writing material

• No uniform

Most uneducated Chadians would love to go to school

Children in Chad do want to learn and are perfectly capable of doing so.

However half of the population is illiterate.

Because many don’t get the opportunity to learn

In Australia without education we can’t really get a job.

In Chad it’s the same

Although without education it won’t be a very well paid job

Even though they have a family to feed

With an education, Chadians can get a better paid job

And will be able to afford say – a cow

What differences do a cow make?Well…..

It provides:• Milk

• More Cows

• Meat

• Warmth

Life’s better already
