Over the next two years UNICEF will focus on improving access to and the quality of education to provide children who have dropped out of school or who work during school hours the opportunity to gain a formal education!
I believe education should be a right for every child, but tragically in many parts of world it is a privilege for certain children whose parents have money. There are 72 million children in the world who don't go to school and many of them are in Africa.
The best way to fight poverty is to empower people through access to quality education
I wish it were true that every child had access to an education that helped them reach their full potential.
In sub-Saharan Africa, fewer than 1 in 5 girls make it to secondary school.
Education from six-year-old to 14 is compulsory in Nigeria, but the simple fact is that a lack of resources, coupled with peoples' inability to afford books and uniforms mean the reality for millions of Nigerian children is a life without education.
Every Canadian who wants to learn should have the opportunity to do so.
There are many issues within the deaf community but, for me, none more important than access to education for deaf children.
I believe you have a birthright to a good education.
