 Goal 4 of the Sustainable Development Goals – Quality Education – How do budget cuts affect students and teachers? This is general high school and it is a grade D school. Many students either drop out or have failing grades. The teachers are stressed, overworked, and often buy their own supplies. General high is a victim of budget cuts. Budget cuts stop teachers from effectively doing their jobs by limiting their supplies, preventing them from getting up day to technology, and overcrowding their classrooms. Students are unable to get the best education and their grades slip because of budget cuts. Budget cuts have negative effects on students and teachers, but there is a way to overcome them. Getting your community involved is a great way to gain money lost from budget cuts. Collecting donations and hosting fundraisers are a good way for local parents, businesses, and other individuals to help educate the next generation. Online platforms such as GoFundMe and Kickstarter are also options to raise money for schools and can be funded by people all over the world. Applying for government grants is another way to bring money back to schools. Having the students showcase their talents, such as band and musical theater, not only helps the students by raising money, but also shows how important the arts are. This is valuable because the arts are usually the first casualty of budget cuts. By reaching out for help, teachers and students can overcome budget cuts and build a brighter future.
