Although the world or current society seems incapable of knowing what peace is, if we take into account wars, attacks or terrorist groups, the truth is that each year a day dedicated to peace is celebrated globally and We now want to offer you all the details of this so that you know what it is and how it is celebrated. We want to talk to you about When is International Education Day in 2022.
Although we can come to think that all over the world we have the right and access to a free education, the reality is that there are some places in the world where not only do they not have an education, it is that they will not even have the facility to speak their languages well:
- Around the world there are approximately 258 million children and young people out of school, a large percentage of whom are girls, especially for religious reasons.
- 617 million children and adolescents do not know how to write or read, in addition to not knowing the minimum knowledge of mathematics to be able to live, such as addition or subtraction.
- In some developing countries there are 91% of children who enroll in school, but then 57 million children do not go to school, in most cases because of work.
- Sub-Saharan Africa is where the record for children out of school is.
- Social and political conflicts, added to wars prevent children from attending school.
- Refugee children are also unable to attend, numbering a total of 4 million.
The International Day of Education was proposed by the United Nations General Assembly , that is, the UN with the aim and purpose of showing that not all children have the same opportunities, but that they all deserve to live and have a free education. This day was marked on January 24, which in this year 2022 will be a Monday.
Since 2020, many children in many countries of the world have suffered many problems to study or go to school, but we are not referring to third world countries, but to fully developed countries, such as Spain or the United States, experienced critical situations due to the pandemic and that has caused many children without the necessary resources to be able to attend virtual class or study without books, they have not been able to advance at the same pace as their more privileged peers.
There are many institutions and associations that fight separately and jointly to ensure that all children who are not in school can get to school and that those who are, but for various reasons cannot go to school, get to do so. some try send teachers to further educationothers send school supplies and even in some cases help with the work done by children who should be studying.
