The website is about an association named "Universal Education" that is trying to bring quality education to the world's famous tech-savvy country India. The association uses a lot of measures to improve the education and to cover the large portion of the community.As seen in the video the children are allowed to play with their I pod's in class using the apps that are downloaded by their teachers. This really creates an atmosphere where the children are interested and eager to learn more in their day at the school. They have apps like Kidsabc that teaches the students how to read and write the alphabets. The children seem to grasp more contents fast. Education should be fun and at the same time a path that leads students to learn new concepts. Universal education redefines the education system by letting the student be creative,interactive and curious.

The World Bank has been a supporter of education for eradication of poverty since 1962. World Bank provides a resource for institutions like international development association (IDA) in spreading education across the world. Between 2004 and 2008 World Bank has given 2 billion per year in loans,credits and grants to support the expansion of primary education. Sub-Sahara is a region in Africa with the least education coverage. For instance in Ethiopia, World Bank provided money for the government to expand the primary education base in 2010 and now we find plasma TV's, computer lab's and supplemental books in almost every school. Students used to sit outside on a stone but now with the help of World Bank they learn while sitting on a chair in a classroom.

Tanzania has seen the rate of primary education drop and rise in the past 20 years. At the beginning with the help of UN the government revised a program that increased the enrollment rate and overall awareness. At a later time because of economic hardship the rates dropped. By 2000 the government created a new educational plan that significantly increased the country's literacy rate. This was done by building more schools,recruiting more teachers and equipping the existing schools with modern tools.

I think the UN should revise more student-focused education plans. What do you think?
