Throughout the course, I have been following podcasts and information on the World Forum. I have also been following research that was posted by the Child Poverty Organization. I am concerned with the rate of poverty in the world and issues that affect children’s education. As a result, the Child poverty site provides updated information and resources about programs used in other parts of the world. One of the benefits of the site is that it provides free access to publications. One of the publications focuses on America’s poor children. The Global campaign for education also provides research and information about poverty issues around the world. The site also allows users to access information for specific countries, such as the United States.

ReplyDeleteWhat has been the most startling revelations that you have learned about poverty in relation to the statistics? Is it a particular group that is higher, a region more poverty ridden.... Stateside.
My post this week also dealt with poverty. The statistics were overwhelming. What concepts did the podcast share? For me it was very helpful to hear a panel of professionals talk about the types of poverty. I was able to gain insight on the levels and effects of the "new faces" of poverty.
ReplyDeleteElnora,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Poverty is a real problem and it most definitely affects the well-being of children. I would be interested in learning more about the research on this site and where the U.S. stands in comparison to other countries in regards to poverty.
