Deficient Funding

Because there is not enough funding, schools lack in solid infrastructure, technology, and curriculum.

• Schools are in bad conditions creating a difficult learning environment
• Funding could allow for nicer buildings, provided food and therefore a more comfortable environment for children to grow up and learn in
• There is little educational technology
• Little access to computer
• The most prestigious university in Guatemala, University of San Carlos, just recently developed a website and provided internet access for all students. (see website here: http://www.usac.edu.gt/ ) 
• The goal of the education system is to create a globalized curriculum, educating students on social issues and encouraging them to find solutions.

Because many citizens do not pay their taxes, the government in lacking money. Also, due to corruption, money does not always go where it is supposed to. This means that schools are lacking in funding. Without funding, they cannot improve their infrastructure, develop technology or advance their curriculum.
