Effects of health on child schooling and cognitive development: The Indirect Effects of Investment in Human Capital
| |
| In sections 2 and 3 education and health were treated as separate components of human capital.
Here the possible linkages between them are discussed. Expenditures on education may affect health
and parental education may benefit children. Health expenditures may themselves affect the value of
education. These links are important for understanding the potential range of benefits which accrue to
expenditures on human capital. |

2.3 Social Development I: Economic Report on Africa 2007
| |
| While growth has recovered on the continent, the gains in terms of social development
and poverty reduction are still limited. This sub-section reviews the evidence
on social development through the lenses of the MDGs. Following a discussion
of progress and challenges for the various goals, the sub-section provides a more
detailed discussion of the challenges posed by HIV/AIDS. More details on progress
towards the MDGs in Africa is provided in various ECA documents, including a
forthcoming report (UNECA 2007), as well as reports by other United Nations
publications (e.g. UNDP and UNICEF 2002). |

Not Just Treasure in Heaven Alliance for Christians in Development ACID to Grant Micro Loans to Benefit Ugandan Schoolchildren
| |
| The Alliance for Christians in Development (ACID) Trust, a non-governmental development organization based in Uganda which, among other projects, provides microfinance services to rural women and youth, will be extending micro loans to parents who cannot afford to pay their children’s school fees. Typically, fees cost about USD 35 per term. A September 2006 report (pg 4) by Save the Children indicated that 1.1 million primary-aged children in Uganda are out of school, the majority because they cannot afford uniforms, books, and basic supplies. Under ACID Trust’s program, the plan is that parents will borrow from the trust interest-free, invest the money to make a profit, pay back the loan and save the remainder to put toward their children’s education. |

2.1 The cruel dilemma of school or work: Working Out of Poverty
| |
| The education and preparation for working life of the current generation
of children are of key importance to the drive to reduce and eradicate
extreme poverty. Access to basic education has improved in a large number
of countries, but the poor have benefited much less than those who are better
off. Over 115 million school-age children, mainly in low-income countries,
were not in school in 1999; 56 per cent of them were girls. On current
trends, a large number of South and West Asian and African countries are
unlikely to achieve the Millennium Development Goal of ensuring that all
children complete a full course of primary education by 2015. |

From Go Fast Kids to Calm Kids
| |
| Making that transition from holiday mode to classroom.
How excited do kids get with the start of school approaching? Getting kids to go from the freedom of school holidays to move to that place of being settled and ready for school can be a challenge for some parents. Many children now days are identified as being ADD and ADHD I call these kids “go fasts” and the transition from holidays to school can be a bit more of a challenge for these kids. Being a “go fast” kid is fine, they are full of excitement and life, but it does not always suite the classroom environment. So how do you handle the transition time as they move into the structures of a new school year and a classroom environment? |

Become a Student Of Success And Change Everything
| |
| I heard this term long after I was a student of the learning environment known as school. When I was in school I never had good grades and becoming a success seemed to be something that was left for others. In school we are all graded on the merits of the people who excel at learning. This article is about how anyone from all walks of life can change their life to be anything that they want it to be. Its about how, after many years of believing that I had to settle for what life dealt me by not being good in school was something I could change. I heard that to change your life you had to change the way you think.

New School Year: Lessons from a Middle Schooler
| |
| Today is the first day of school in Michigan and I am the new mom to a Middle Schooler!. Time has flown so quickly. It seems like just yesterday that I was holding him in the rocking chair in his room. I remember looking at his little legs and thinking to myself, “some day his legs will hang over mine when he sits on my lap. I can’t even imagine it.” And now here we are, it’s been years since he’s spent any time on my lap. His legs would almost hit the ground, all in the blink of an eye. Where has the time gone?
I watch with amazement as he heads off to Middle School with nothing more than anticipation. Hallways to maneuver, new school, way more kids, lockers and classes to find. His elementary school is nothing more than a fond memory and he is ready to move on. I am so proud of him today!
