A arrival on “need of education for all”
Answers
Answer:
Education For All (EFA) is a global movement led by UNESCO (United Nation Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), aiming to meet the learning needs of all children, youth and adults by 2015
Over half of the world’s registered refugees of school age – some 3.5 million children – are not in school. Refugee children are five times less likely to attend school than other children. Even for those who can access education, the quality is invariably poor.
There’s no question that these children should be in school and learning. Education is every child’s basic right. A right that doesn’t diminish in times of emergency. Providing refugees with an opportunity to learn is the building block for recovery, resilience and long-term development. During a refugee child’s displacement, for safe, good-quality, inclusive education provides hope and a path for the future.
Save the Children has provided education to refugees in many countries in Africa, Asia and the Middle East for decades. Refugee children and their parents tell us that education is a priority for them. They know that education makes a remarkable difference to their lives, opening doors and increasing their wellbeing.
It’s our responsibility to listen and be held accountable to those we aim to assist.
We need to do more collectively to reach more refugee boys and girls with quality learning. And we need to do it urgently.
