Paragraph C
Why are parents in some areas unwilling to send their children to school? They don’t have a positive attitude towards education. Agriculture plays an important role, people do not attach importance to education, and parents are sceptical of anything that takes children away from their work on the farm. In some cultures parents are particularly unwilling to send their daughters to school because the custom is to educate boys rather than girls.
Paragraph F:
Are there problems on education in the richest country? What are they?
The USA has found that it is not easy to make sure that every student receives the same quality of teaching. One in three students in the country lives in the countryside, and providing them with a full curriculum is difficult.
Paragraph G
How is the goal of “Education for All” getting on? The situation is different in different countries. The Chinese government overcame problems of population and economy to accomplish its “nine years of compulsory education” goal. In the least developed nations of Africa and Asia, reaching the target of “Education for All” will be a huge task, despite help from the international community.
