In this article they talk about how Australia has striked up a deal with the Philippines to better aid their schools. Which is awesome, because now the Philippines are now able to add another 2 years of school to elementary schools and better aid in technology that they might not have had before. Australia has already offered 570 million Australian dollars to help aid this project. I just wish that more countries could help out one another like these two are. And maybe if all schools had adequate funding and made it easier for all children to get a great education, maybe our global achievement gap would finally start to diminish. And what these two countries are doing is a great start to solving this problem.
