EUROPE
Europe is generally respected for its educational systems. However, over six years of economic and financial crisis has resulted in considerable strain on the public budgets of the EU countries. Paths of reform across government spending saw drastic cuts across various sectors, with the education sector being hit particularly hard in certain countries. The consequences of the cuts in education budgets include a reduced quality in teaching and a lack of access to advanced education by individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. All countries should realize the long-term transformative power of education and distribute resources in a more responsible way. Short-term cuts for schools can have a devastating impact on a nation’s educational structure.
CROATIA
Many hoped that joining the European Union would trigger an economic revival, but one year on, the country is still stuck in recession. To make a success of its EU membership, this small country needs outside help. Frustration is widespread in the field of education, where the situation for primary and secondary school teachers has deteriorated in all areas. It was reported that through numerous cuts, teachers have seen reductions in their monthly salaries. Uncertainty, fear and concern best describe the situation in the field of education. IFED worked with the Varazdin Public Library to add reading and educational resources for primary students.

MEXICO
IFED partnered with the Cozumel Chrysalis Group to providing financial scholastic support for the island’s students. Mexican public school students must provide their own uniforms, school shoes and school supplies. High school students must pay an inscription fee for each semester. Many families in Cozumel struggle to send their children to school.
The Cozumel Chrysalis Group assists those students who show a desire to better their lives through education. Learning English in school prepares them to earn a better living in this tourist based economy. Breaking the cycle of poverty that they grew up in is one of the greatest achievements our students can make, helping themselves and their families to live a better life.
