Adding More Information & Data
Hi Wikipedians!

I would like to add more information on what issues in the United States's education system NGOs commonly try to address through their work. I think it is also critical to provide verified data on the general impact of education NGOs as well as how they may operate in an international context.

I am compiling more data and information from validated sources but please feel free to also help me add to the article!

Adding more content and restructuring article.
Hello Wikipedians,

I have made the following edits and added some content to this article. I would appreciate some feedback on the edits I have made, and the content I have added. Thank you. Please find the edits and contents added below:

1. I created an "Introduction" Heading

2. I also changed a subheading "World Citizenship to "The Impact of World Citizenship on NGOs"

3. I also moved the "General Roles of NGOs heading to the introduction.

4. I merged the "Globalization" heading and other subheadings into one heading titled "The Role of NGOs, Non-State Actors, and Globalization in Education"

5. The following was added to the "Introduction":

Non governmental organization (NGOs), can be defined as "formal organizations, and as such, they emerge when a group of people organize themselves into a social unit “that was established with the explicit objective of achieving certain ends and formulating rules to govern the relations among the members of the organization and the duties of each member” (Blau and Scott, 1970)".

6. The following was reworded:

Where education has been the role of the nation state, globalization has created new institutions including global regulatory organizations, global mass media and the aforementioned global flow of populations, which have contributed to the weakening of the nation state in education.

7. The following was added to the renamed heading "The Role of NGOs, Non-State Actors and Globalization in Education:

The governments of some African countries do not fully welcome the idea of NGOs contribution towards education; thus such governments tend to be constantly involved with activities of NGOs in the education sector. However, governments regulate the activities of NGO's based on their economic standing, "administrative standing" and "historical relationship" with NGO's. Instead of direct funding, government relationship between with NGOs and non state actors in education is focused on promotion of non state actors.

Generally, NGOs roles are related to problems of development in countries or areas with development problems. Below are a few of the roles (historic and modern) NGO's have as providers of education:

Role of NGOs in Education Historic roles of NGOs in Education: - Spread of western education, led by religious organizations in late 19th and early 20th centuries - Played a key role in the inclusion of education development in international organization projects after the second world war - Development of Education initiatives, outside state actors (1950s and 70s) More recent roles of NGOs in Education: - Provision of educational access to students without access to public/government education - Advocacy for government to provide access to education for all - Provision of non formal education - Provision of support for small and rural schools

8. I reworded the "Impact of World Citizenship on NGOs" section to make it look more encyclopedic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vicentiagyau (talk • contribs) 18:37, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
