Change the Educational system and Dress sense of Guinean students to school

The Issue

According to the World Bank, Guinea’s 2010 literacy rate stood at 25 percent for adults, 21.8 percent for young women aged 15-24 and 37.6 percent for young men of the same age group. The database defined literacy as “the percent of adults who can both read and write with understanding a short simple statement on their everyday life.” While the World Bank does not provide literacy data for every country, Guinea’s literacy rates were the lowest of all countries recorded in 2010, the last year data was made available for Guinea. Although the Guinean government provides free and compulsory education to students between the ages of seven and 13, many students are not taking advantage of these services.
Primary school completion rates stood at 55.1 percent and 67.8 percent for females and males respectively in 2012. Gender gaps continue to persist in the higher grades, with 32 percent of females and 41 percent of males progressing to secondary school (high school). Within the university system, males outnumber females by an almost 10:4 ratio.  


In a bid to help the Educational system of our country Guinee we want the Government to change the way the students dress to school Even though dressed in school uniforms the students are allowed to wear all types of shoes, jewelry and make there hair with attachments. Therefore, students who do not wear the latest and greatest, may feel left out, criticized, or even bullied by their peers. The way that students dress may seem insignificant to the learning environment, but it absolutely plays a large role. There are strong supporters and arguments for both sides of this issue, but in order to truly understand the conflict, you must understand all of the benefits and consequences that come from implementing a mandatory school uniform.Clothes are a status symbol in schools. Many students who are unable to afford the newest fashions or name brand clothing are ostracized and made fun of. School uniforms puts everyone on an even playing field and prevents this type of bullying from happening. Also we plead with the Guinean Government to provide a uniform material for each school and not the whole country wearing the same type of uniform. This Aids In Identifying Students
If a child is kidnapped, lost, or runs away from school or a school function then they can be very easily identified by their uniform. Most schools have a unique uniform, which helps them to keep better track of all of their students.If every single day, every person in the school is sporting their schools colors and mascots, then a feeling of unity and togetherness is inspired. This helps with the overall moral of the student body and ignites a higher sense of school spirit and pride. We also plead with the Government to introduce school bus system as More children on the bus means fewer cars on the road. This means less traffic, lower emissions, safer roads around the schools at drop-off and pick up. The impact of your choice to use school transportation can touch many others in a positive way. Since not everyone owns a car or lives within walking distance of their school, a bus may be the only method of transportation that they have. Access to quality education is critical for all children, which makes school buses an absolute necessity. One of the most important benefits of school buses is that they arrive on time. Every morning, you know when the bus will be at the stop to pick your kid. So accordingly, you can manage your timing and ensure that your little one reaches school on time. Also, on rainy days or when you are sick, or your vehicle is not working, your kids either get late to the school or end up taking a leave. Many studies over the years have repeatedly stated that school buses have a significantly lower number of accidents on road compared to students travelling by cars.

So, if you have been confused about hiring services of a school bus for your kid, then now with these benefits listed above you know how you and your little one can benefit from the school bus and why you should also hire one for your kid.When kids use school buses, they learn to take care of their personal belongings, like a school bag, water bottle, and lunch box. This helps them in their overall development and well-being and makes them a responsible 

And when they travel in school buses, they not just make new friends, but they learn sharing, companionship and how to make new friends.This helps them in their overall development and well-being and makes them a responsible and independent individual. We hope this incourages studestudents towards learning and also mark the beginning of a greater Guinea
