Final Blog Assignment

Australia and UK The international contacts that I chose were in Australia and the UK. I have received very little help from the contacts. I have received a reply email about once or twice by both contacts, but they were redirecting me to someone else. I contacted the other contacts and I have heard absolutely nothing back. I have researched the websites and found interesting facts about the countries and the educational background. Australia’s poverty line of single parent families is 21.8%. In 2008-2009, the UK had 13 ½ million people living who were living below the low-income threshold. Most of the students of Australia fall below the poverty line. The short term goal for the UK was that child poverty be redirected to the number of children in low income households by a quarter. A goal I would suggest would be that countries try to come together for the good and make things work out to improve the education spectrum and make some good moves in the education field.
