One of the human rights declarations of the eighth millennium is to "achieve universal primary education". This goal is very important because education is the backbone of success. If the citizens of the country do not receive a proper education, they will not have a job to work at. Without education, people will not know about diseases and how to treat them. Education can help less developed countries because literacy rates would increase. People would be able to work and GDP would grow, reducing poverty. And life expectancy would increase because citizens would be educated about their illnesses. This goal is achieved in Nigeria, but not all Nigerians have the opportunity to go to school and not all Nigerians achieve the standards that must be met in teaching. Even though approximately 66% of children are educated, not all of them receive the quality education they need. In Nigeria, approximately 10.5 million children who should be attending primary school do not have access to it, out of a total of 61 million worldwide. This number is the highest in the world. Exam results are very low and the limited amount of money that goes into schools, teachers and education shows how poor the quality of this system is. Nigeria's government spends only 9% of its funds on education, which has actually shrunk as it was about 11% in 1999, while neighboring Burkina Faso spends about 17%. Leymah Gbowee is an inspiration, helping Liberia emerge from a civil war in 2003. During the second civil war in Liberia, many women were raped and injured. Leymah helped create a peace movement for women to stand up to the government. Without using violence, the women initiated peace talks to claim their rights. S......middle of paper......donating money means helping trained professionals from all over the world or just volunteers with higher education to come to Nigeria and help tutor children and teach a class alone. This will give the volunteers a nice experience to interact with the children and learn about Nigerian culture, while the children will receive an education. There may be a change of volunteers every year so that the old volunteers can go home to their families and the new ones can have the learning experience. This solution will help both children and volunteers and is also a great way to help achieve primary education in Nigeria. They should also help build small buildings so that volunteers have a place to teach, for practice, the children of Nigeria. With organizations and the help of the United Nations, Nigeria can be guided to a successful path in education.
