EFA+Thanksgiving+Assignment-Renae+Venman

The developing country I chose to investigate was Malaysia. Malaysia is implementing Education For All (EFA) in a few different ways. Malaysia is working towards achieving the original goal that by 2015 EFA objectives will be complete. One obstacle they still face, however, is that they still have many millions of students not attending school, and many students still have little to no educational knowledge. This obstacle is in the process of being eliminated because they are working towards beginning to educate all of these students by 2015. One way they are looking to do this is to continue to hire many new teachers, and they are working towards developing their curriculum plan for what their education system will be, hopefully, before 2015 comes. According to the Education Minister of Malaysia, he believes, “Malaysia’s attainment of the EFA goals and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) (is) well ahead of the due date of 2015”. Thus, Malaysia is even ahead of implementing the EFA objectives by 2015, with the way they are continuing to flourish with getting students to school. Granted, this process has been very time-consuming, but they are continuing to see great success with hiring teachers, and sending students to school for the education that they should have been receiving all along. One organization that would help place me in a teaching job in Malaysia would be the British Council Malaysia. This organization exists in the UK, but they have a branch focused on Malaysia. The British Council Malaysia is an international organization for cultural relations that give opportunities to people around the globe to teach in Malaysia. If I were to contact this organization about obtaining a teaching job in Malaysia, I would have a chance to enhance my knowledge of a country outside of the United States, and I would be able to better the lives of students by giving them the education that they deserve.
