A once-thriving salt marsh was drained for agriculture in the early 1600s by the first European settlers, who installed two dikes to keep saltwater out of the area. Education NGOs. The educational field has been known as playing a major role in shaping contemporary society, mainly because it allows to conceptualize people's surroundings as well as their interactions with those surroundings.

Education NGOs

However, as education intersects with politics, geography, and economics, educational outcomes become significantly different. Educational ideology is a product of culture and vice versa.
