Childhood Poverty

I have not had success contacting an international professional. I had to do the Alternative Assignment which was to listen to the podcasts. I listened to a few and I was inspired by one and I clicked the link to the school website and this person was no longer the principal.

The woman was the principal of the only indigenous school in Canada. The school was not doing very well and administration retention was not great. She was inspired to help the indigenous population and make sure that they had access to quality education.

 I went to the Childhood poverty and policy centers page to learn about child poverty in another part of the world.

I chose to read up on poverty in China. I gained a few insights on the topic that were new to me. The website stated that most of the urban poor residents are dependent on government aid. 98% of poor children are receiving an education. Their parents do not want their  economic status to affect the education of their children. However, this education is often times not a high quality program.

Of the findings on the website, the article suggested ways to help China reduce its poverty level. One of these suggestions is to increase parents' ability to guarantee a better current standard of living through enhanced re-training opportunities, business development and increasing minimum wage ( Childhood Poverty and Policy Center)
