In what way?• Bich Vu Thi — Room to Read Girls Education Program Officer — talks about her own strugglesachieving access to education in a poor family where girls were not valued. She says, “Oneboy is one child, but 10 girls are not equivalent to one child.” What do you think she meantby that? How do you think this attitude influences girls’ opportunities?• What are some things that are being done to support girls in going to school?• John Wood, the Founder of Room to Read, has stated that “it is a moral failure” that millionsof girls woke up this morning and didn’t go to school? Do you agree? Why or why not?• How does his statement connect with Phung’s father’s belief that by sacrificing a smallamount today, he is giving his children a path out of poverty?• Do you think we are facing similar challenges in our own country? Could you providesome examples?• Are there groups of young people in this country who are forced to make similar choicesbetween supporting their families or focusing on their own education and future?• Nicholas Kristof says in the film, “We often have the idea that providing education is aboutbuilding a school, providing teachers, school books, and it’s so much more complicatedthen that in an environment of poverty.” What challenges and complications is he referringto?

Are theremodels in other countries?
045HALF THE SKYEducation for All<strong>LESSON</strong> PLAN PROCEDURESPost-Screening Activity:Part 2: Millennium Development Goals and Education for All• Briefly introduce the Millennium Development Goals and Goal 2: Universal PrimaryEducation (MGD2) using the summary paragraph:In 2000, the United Nations brought together the Heads of State from 189 countries todiscuss how to cut global poverty in half by 2015 and ensure fundamental human rightsfor all. The strategy they developed consists of eight goals, and includes a commitment toachieving primary education for all children. Millennium Development Goal 2: UniversalPrimary Education (MGD2) seeks to ensure that children everywhere — boys and girlsalike — will be able to complete a full course of primary schooling by 2015 and that girlswould have the same opportunities and access to education as boys by 2005. This targetwas set because countries around the world recognize that providing education is the keyto reducing poverty and improving the health and wellbeing of families and communities.Unfortunately the goal for equal access to education by 2005 was not reached, butprogress is being made.• Divide the class into groups of 3–4 students and provide each with Student Handout E:Education for All and Student Handout F: Notes from the Field.• Explain that each group will review the fact sheet and imagine they are studentambassadors working with the Millennium Development Committee. Their assignment isto work in collaboration with a student from the film to identify ways that they can improveeducation for girls in Vietnam. In return, they will imagine what insights their Vietnamesepartners can provide regarding the importance of education in their lives and how we canimprove the quality and commitment to education in our communities in the USA. Studentsshould refer to their notes from the film and the class discussion as well as StudentHandout E: Education for All for guidance.• Students can present their completed work to the class as notes from the field or they candevelop a script and perform the interviews and dialogue.
