Why we teach English
Typically, the remote schools (that poor children attend) have very limited ability to teach English and so these children are cut off from this opportunity to escape poverty. Having the opportunity to practice conversational English with native speakers is an important and rare occurrence for many. Thus, English education reduces the risk of poverty, the risk of being exploited (i.e. trafficked) as well as engaging in other dangerous behaviours (i.e. drug-use).
