UN backed world education bank?
Sounds like some kind of UN regulated wikipeidia:

Why we need a world education bank By David Manning Published: March 2 2008 18:58 | Last updated: March 2 2008 18:58 In less than five months Japan will host the next summit of the Group of Eight industrialised countries in Hokkaido. The Japanese prime minister has put climate change and African development high on the agenda, where both belong. But I hope the G8 leaders will give equal attention to education. In particular I hope they will look at setting up a World Education Bank in partnership with all United Nations member states and with business, banks, foundations and non-governmental organisations. Education is a well-established global development priority. This was reiterated in 2000 when, at the UN millennium summit, the goal of �universal primary education for every child� was enshrined as the second of the eight millennium development goals the international community set itself to attain by 2015. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/200dc96a-e8...world%2Feconomy |
This world is already educated enough.. there is nothing wrong anywhere.. noone is dying... no disease.. no famine.. no deperate poverty.. (other than few blow out of proportion cases like Dafur and shit).. all the worlds problems lies and end with humans.. educated humans.. who wage war.. war for oil.. war for power... war for looting.. civil war.. coups.. rapes..
We need funds for Climate protection, Protection of Wildlife, Protection of Nature.. free all animals from zoo.. say no to animals in captivity. Restore lands belonging to Tigers and Gorrilas that have been colonised by humans, kill ugly over-growing crwos and pegions who are taking colonies of smaller birds like little sparrow.
Its time we start fighting for animal rights and their welfare. Think about little birds... who got no place else to go, to live, to live the life they always lived, it must be pretty hard for them.

I think it's a good idea. But how the money is distributed will be a problem. Many developing countries are very very currupt.

| Originally posted by Krypton I don't recall developed countries asking for foreign aid very often. When stuff is free, there is a tendency to waste. |

| Originally posted by Lebezniatnikov Foreign aid = corruption? Developed countries don't ask for development assistance because they're... well, developed. |

| Originally posted by Krypton Lebez, i did not say foreign aid = curruption. My point was that if there was an Education bank established, there would need to be safeguards against curruption which is rampant in many developing states especially in Africa. |

| Originally posted by Lebezniatnikov I don't really understand the connection between corruption and this initiative. |

| Originally posted by Krypton I don't want money to be wasted by curruption. Are you really that trusting of a country which asks for such funds in the first place? If you are the bank, then as a lender, you must either ask for a high interest return (to justify the risk), OR, you must have some sort of accountibility oversight. UN humanitarian programs are not exempt from curruption, as the Iraq Oil for Food Program should show you. Even the best of intentions can be currupted. I am amazed you have such trust for international third world debtor nations... We can't just throw money at them and expect they are going to spend the money as chartered. |

| Originally posted by atbell It's not a bank in terms of money, it would be a store of knowledge freely available to all. Like a massive history of things that are proven beyond doubt, you know, like evolution |

| Originally posted by Lebezniatnikov Yeah, that's more or less what I gathered from the article. I didn't understand how all the charges of corruption were relevant. |
