The EFA report on the international community’s goals to better education throughout the world have proven to be too slow, though somewhat successful. Since the Dakar commitments of 2000, many countries such as Ethiopia and Mexico have witnessed improvements in such areas as school attendance and maternal healthcare. The numbers, however, and improvements have not increased in a way that will see fulfillment in improvements for the goal year of 2015. The major issue that I noticed throughout the study was disparity. Disparities between rich and poor, between urban and rural, between men and women, and much more prevent slower developing countries in areas like South and West Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa. The article, though rampant in examples of such disparities, fails in Chapter 5 to raise concrete ideas to improve these situations. I, therefore, propose an outlandish idea to better education for children unable to attend school do to distance. In Senegal, for example, “urban children are twice as likely to be in school as rural ones.” I suggest an intense bus service. Such an endeavor would require a certain amount of money for gas and other expenses. If governments focus on a long distance service many of these children will have the chance to receive the education they deserve.
