How might we increase the availability of affordable learning tools & services for students in the developing world?
Concept
Teach Democracy Through Leadership
Use a student government to teach the power of democracy, provide students an opportunity for leadership, and support teachers in the management of the classroom Train teachers to set up student governments in classrooms by first teaching children about democracy and the role of elections in their own country, asking for participation to run, helping them campaign to collect votes, and ensuring they understand the need and power of a CLEAN election.Who would implement this?
- A local entrepreneur or small organization
- A globally-based social entrepreneur
- NGOs and Foundations
- I would!
Cost
Almost no cost model - little bit of construction paper, popsicle sticks, a few markers, empty juice boxes turned into ballot boxes. and some positive competitive spirit. voila!
Distribution & Delivery
leverage all teacher training organizations to have them train about student government to all teachers - rich poor, private public, rural urban
Adoption
create demonstration schools where it works, create governments for teachers in training sessions so they understand the utility and power of them
