This meeting was prepared and held by a volunteer of our center Yekateryna Ivchenko.
The main task of the meeting was to give more information on educational system of the USA and to show the opportunities to get high education there.
The club-members read the text and watched a few videos on YouTube. They learnt that American educational system has difficult problems. These problems were compared with ones in Ukraine, a lot of common things were found. Children know mathematics and geography badly, they read little, teachers are complaining of their little salaries, students – of the high fee.
The club-members told what kind of a profession they wanted to get in their childhood and what education they have now.
It was interesting to discuss the quotes of famous people of the past and modern times. Many people liked the words of John F. Kennedy and Nelson Mandela.John F. Kennedy: The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.
Nelson Mandela: Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
The meeting had a funny break: everyone watched a video, the main hero of which was a winner of beauty contest but a not very intelligent girl.The topic of home education was touched. People recalled about drawing and music. Helen showed her drawings.
At the end of the discussion we understood that education is never-ending process. Education continues all our life.
