FIRST THING'S FIRST

FIRST THING'S FIRST

Talking about "success academy" we all know academy to be an environment filled with pupils to learn, but the phrase "success" comes in with more expatiating word in the sense that people don't really know what it is all about, firstly i define success as achieving, earning or lets say getting something one has been desiring for not really meaning getting money because success is not all about getting rich but getting one heart's desire of which money can be included

MINDSET

Still talking about success you can not achieve success without having a mindset goal you are running towards, first make up your mind on what you want and then you can act on it

EDUCATION IS THE BEST. LET TAKE IT.

Education in its broadest sense is any act or experience that has a formative effect on the mind, character or physical ability of an individual. In its technical sense education is the process by which society deliberately transmits its accumulated knowledge, skills and values from one generation to another.

Teachers in educational institutions direct the education of students and might draw on many subjects, including reading, writing, mathematics, science and history. This process is sometimes called schooling when referring to the education of youth. Teachers in specialized professions such as astrophysics, law, or zoology may teach only a certain subject, usually as professors at institutions of higher learning. There is also education in fields for those who want specific vocational skills, such as those required to be a pilot. In addition there is an array of education possible at the informal level, e.g., at museums and libraries, with the Internet, and in life experience.

The right to education has been described as a basic human right: since 1952, Article 2 of the first Protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights obliges all signatory parties to guarantee the right to education. At world level, the United Nations' International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights of 1966 guarantees this right under its Article 13.

Goal 1 - Expand early childhood care and education

he goal calls for better and more possibilities to support young children, and their families and communities, in all the areas where the child is growing – physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually. It also lays special emphasis on children who suffer disadvantage or who are particularly vulnerable, for example those living in poverty, AIDS orphans, rural and minority children, and in some situations girls as a whole.

In a World Context

Major global disparities in provision continue to divide the world's richest and poorest children. In 2006 pre-primary gross enrolment ratios averaged 79 per cent in developed countries and 36 per cent in developing countries, falling as low as 14 per cent in sub-Saharan Africa. Global disparities are mirrored in wide gaps within countries, especially between the richest and poorest children.(EFA Global Monitoring Report 2009)
