SCRIPT
The UN Children’s Fund says global education is in crisis. In a new report UNICEF warns millions of children are not learning the very basics. The report was released at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
UNICEF Deputy Executive Director Yoka brandt describes education as a human right,saying there’s a moral obligation to invest in it. “Education can put people on a path toward good health, empowerment and employment and it helps to rebuild more peaceful societies. It gives children in emergencies a future, a place of safety and a sense of normalcy. And we all know that the benefits of girls’ education go well beyond their own education, but extend to their children.”
Brandt says that despite the benefits education offters, there is an education crisis. “Fifty-eight million children and 63 million adolescents are out of school. And worse, we’re also facing a learning crisis because an estimated 130 million children cannot read or write, despite reaching grade four, she says. And it’s these two twin crises that are being addressed in this new UNICEF report-The Investment Case for Education and Equity-which we are very pleased to launch here,” she says.
