What Would You Sacrifice For An Education?

A South African village is demanding that a bridge be built across a crocodile-infested river to stop children swimming it to get to school.

Students as young as seven have been making the crossing for two months since the community's boat was stolen.

This brings into focus just how far some people are willing to go for an education.

For some other individuals and families, the sacrifice that is made is financial.

A recent study says many extremely poor parents in Lagos made great financial sacrifices to send their children to private rather than public schools.

What would you sacrifice for an education? What sacrifices did you make to get your own education? Do you find that the quality and standard of education in your country today is worth making great sacrifices for?
