group focused on children who can’t go to
school, also known as lack of access to
education. We hope that you understand
that this is a major problem and it means
a great deal to us!

6. Our Action (Key Concept:
Responsibility)
Our group also taught grades 3
through 5 about lack of access in
education. We went around to
multiple classes and presented an
educational PowerPoint. The
following slide shows pictures of
our group presenting.

8. Interview
Greta interviewed her grandmother who
was from Albania and had lack of access in
education. Below are the questions Greta
asked her and the answers she got!
Question 1- How did this affect your life?
Answer- Since I only went to school from 1st through 4th
grade, I didn’t get a good occupation when I grew up.
Question 2- How did you feel about this situation?
Answer- I was sad that I couldn’t continue to go to school
and get a good education.

9. Question 3- Do you wish you would’ve gone to school in 5th grade, 6th
grade, high school, and college?
Answer-Yes, I would have liked to go to school so I could have better
opportunities in the future.
Question 4- What did you do when you weren’t in school?
Answer- I mostly worked in the farm and fields with my mother
and siblings to earn money.
Question 5- Were the teachers at your school well trained?
Answer- All of my teachers were very well trained and taught us
everything we need to know. If we were absent, our teacher
would pay us a visit and ask why we were absent.
Question 6- Was your school a good learning environment?
Answer- My school didn’t have the technology that we have
today, but we had the essential materials including books, pencils,
and paper.

10. Question 7- Do you know why your family didn’t let you go to
school?
Answer- I had to help my parents with farm work and it wasn’t
normal to go to school beyond 4th grade.
Question 8- Were your classmates eager to be in school?
Answer- Most were, but some of them didn’t have the money
to continue like me.
Question 9- Were you sad to leave your school when you did?
Answer- Yes, I was very sad because I couldn’t get a good
education or job.

PowerPoint. We hope that you take
