ECW published a report called ‘Global Estimates Report’ on the occasion of ‘International Education Day’ on Friday, January 24, which warns that help funds are not in line with the demand for increasing education.
The report shows that the number of school children affected by the crisis has increased by 3 million in the last three years.
Armed conflict, forced displacement, climate-related risks, diseases and socio-economic challenges are having a profound impact on children’s health, education and well-being. At the same time, these crises are deeper, more wider and often inter -associated.
Children’s current and future violent collisions, droughts, floods and storms, including extreme weather conditions, are among other threats. Refugees, internally displaced children, disabled boys and girls are most affected by this problem.
In this report 23.4 million children and adolescents identified as impact in this report are 8.5 crore out of the opportunity to attend completely school. Of these, 52 percent of girls, 17 percent refugees and internally displaced persons and more than 20 percent disabled children.
Invest in education instead of war
Yasmin Sharif, executive director of Education Cant Wet, said that every year, $ 2,000 billion is invested in war and conflict around the world. Where with a few billion dollars, children in crisis and their teachers can be given great assistance.
“The world has to invest in school instead of military expenditure instead of military expenditure, otherwise we will leave the inheritance of destruction.
About 50 percent of the children are out of school in only five long-term crisis in the country: Sudan, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of Congo and Pakistan.
Despite the demand for growing education, as part of humanitarian relief efforts, the amount of money available for the Education Assistance Fund has stalled, although this assistance has increased in the previous years.
Requires financial assistance
According to the United Nations, there is a $ 100 billion interval annually to achieve education-related sustainable development goals in low and low-low income countries.
In the last five years, the number of violent conflicts around the world has doubled. Conflicts in 50 countries are moving at extreme, high or disruptive level.
In this situation, most of the children who have the opportunity to attend school are falling behind in their studies, and 17 percent of the crisis primary schools are gaining minimum skills in teaching.
To deal with this challenge, ECW, with its partner companies, called for additional funds of $ 600 million. With the help of government donors, private sectors and rich people, the goal is to provide quality education and opportunities for about 20 million crisis.
