Hi! I have my last SAC on Monday and couldn't be more stressed. I was wondering if I could get some feedback on these questions? Thanks so much in advance.
Describe a literacy program that could be implemented in Pakistan to improve the levels of literacy.
Australian Red Cross’s ‘Human Writes’ literacy program aims to provide young women with opportunities to learn to read and write. Trained educators run free, community-based classes in small villages, aimed specifically at young women; these classes start at a low level and teach females basic literacy skills so that they can seek meaningful employment and therefore be able to generate an income for themselves and their families.
Use the program you discussed in part a. to analyse the interrelationships between health, human development and sustainability.
The ‘Human Writes’ program improves human development by providing access to knowledge through educational workshops and classes. This enables females with low literacy skills to learn to read and write, therefore enhancing and expanding their capabilities when it comes to employment. Having access to knowledge and the capability to attain employment results in social sustainability, as the daughter of an educated woman is, in turn, also more likely to be educated and attain employment herself. The sustainability of education leads to improved physical health of future generations, as educated women are more likely to understand health promotion messages and be aware of protective factors to health, such as the importance of immunisations and breastfeeding. This then improves their standard of living and enables them to lead long, productive lives in accordance with their needs and interests – promoting their human development.
