Is Education important, Why?
Education gives knowledge of world around us It helps us give opinions and also debate on many things It also teaches us the right behavior, manners and how to
lead and live our lives It equips us with all things needed to make our dreams
true Opens opportunities to a great career Also wipes out all the bad beliefs It builds a confidence to make decisions throughout your
life It tells you how to accept failures and successes

Children are forced to work instead of go to school
Girls are forced in labor

Non aged classes Not in the right age

Not proper education Still concern in education
Not relevant to their education in future
Mostly minority group problem

How these problems happen
Mainly poverty
Less schools built
Don’t care about child’s life
Thailand overview Great country Rich culture Ancient history Beautiful nature But many gaps in their education
Local Solution Unicef, Unesco Hope are trying to help by
giving kids money to go to school
They are trying to build more teacher schools
Thai government has meeting ever week how to get better education
Personal Statement We can talk to Unicef,and other buisness
and raise charity
Make an organization by ourselves, go to Thailand , encourage them to education
