The Optimism of Youth

Welcome to our blog. Here we will document the work we are doing on compiling our book "The Optimism of Youth" based on Millennium Development Goal No 2 - Universal Primary Education by 2015. We are being supported in this project by Self Help Africa

Do you have a reflection on your primary school days, a poem to share, perhaps a photograph from those days? Our aim is to highlight the importance of primary education and why MDG No 2 is such a vital goal.

All contributions are welcome and can be sent to towards2015@gmail.com

Anneliese Kenny Age 7

Anneliese Kenny from Co. Meath took time out of her day to write to us and send us her views on her educational experience. She certainly appreciates the opportunities that school offers.
She says............
'School is important because you can play with friends
you learn maths and Art,
it's where you meet people,
you get to know your teacher.
you get new things for your school
School is a place to have fun.
Even if you are a deaf or blind child, you can go to school".

What insight from a seven year old'

Most of our younger contributers are enjoying school life today,though there are always those who don't for a variety of reasons,many of our grandparents and parents tell us they heve experienced fear and use of corporal punishment.Thankfully times have changed and our educational experiences have improved.
