"Does the current educational system across the African continent help children change their lives and those of their families?" "Does our educational system produce learners with the skills and potential to create jobs needed for economic growth and development?" "Or is our educational system only good at producing job-seekers?" The answers to these questions should guide us as a continent to rethink and review our educational system and models.African children deserve an education that empowers them to change the harsh socio-economic realities they face. They need educational outcomes that will serve as the weapon to transform Africa's struggling economy. As the Child Rights Network for Southern Africa, we urge the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, together with AU members, to invest in educational policies and programs. Invest in systems that integrate technical skills like engineering, mining, and agriculture with academic subjects from primary education to tertiary levels. We further urge AU member states to invest in school infrastructure, equipment, resources, and tools that promote inclusive quality education. Through well-resourced, inclusive quality education, children across the continent can change their lives and improve our economy. Will you join us in advocating for an educational system that equips African children to transform their futures? Let us reflect on critical questions that shape the future of our children and, by extension, our continent.

On this International Day of the Girl Child, established by the United Nations, we celebrate this year’s theme: " Girls’ vision for the future ". This day highlights the importance of ensuring the fundamental rights of girls, including their right to live in a safe environment, receive quality education, and access healthcare. The DéFI project contributes to this vision by offering mentorship programs, providing girls like Samby Diarra, from Niono, Mali, with the support they need to thrive and succeed in their studies. "Before the girls' mentorship program came to my school, I had lost interest in going to school (...), but today I am a new person, I have confidence in myself, and I am very committed to succeeding in my studies." - Samby Diarra, 13 years old Today, we are committed to supporting girls so they can achieve their aspirations and overcome the challenges they face. The DéFI project, funded by Global Affairs Canada | Affaires mondiales Canada Affairs Canada, works to remove barriers to education for children, particularly girls, in conflict-affected areas of #Mali, by providing them with the necessary resources to succeed.

Around the world, we've seen how investing in girls' education unlocks remarkable potential - lifting families out of poverty, driving economic progress, and creating a more just, equitable future. Yet in Cameroon, far too many girls still face daunting barriers to this life-changing opportunity. From poverty and cultural biases to lack of resources and facilities, the challenges are complex. But the rewards of overcoming them are immense - for Cameroonian girls, their communities, and all of humanity. ??That's why we're issuing a urgent call to action. Join us in championing girls' education in Cameroon. Support scholarships, build new schools, and change mindsets. Help us shatter glass ceilings and uplift the next generation of Cameroonian women leaders, innovators and changemakers. ??When girls learn, everyone wins. Let's make the promise of equality a reality - one classroom, one community at a time. The future of Cameroon, and our world, depends on it.????

Children around the world are facing an unprecedented literacy crisis. According to Save the Children International, before the?COVID-19 pandemic, 53% of children in low and middle-income countries could not read. At its peak during the COVID-19 Pandemic, 1.6?billion children were out of school?– approximately 90% of the entire student population. Today, Up to 9.7 million children are at risk of dropping out of school due to rising levels of child poverty exacerbated by COVID-19. Under this year's theme, Promoting multilingual education: Literacy for mutual understanding and peace, shows that there is a pressing need to harness the transformative potential of literacy for promoting mutual understanding, social cohesion and peace. Such an approach can help promote mutual understanding and respect, while solidifying communal identities and collective histories. This is very familiar to me because we try to use languages and models that are familiar to students. This global celebration?is being held from today 9th and 10th September 2024 in Yaoundé, Cameroon. It will include a global conference,?the award ceremony of the UNESCO?International Literacy Prizes and side events, such as?the annual meeting of Global Alliance of Literacy within the Framework of Lifelong Learning (GAL) and?meetings of the Action Research on Measuring Literacy and Alternative Education (RAMAED), and the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities. It will also be an opportunity to shed light on the literacy agenda in Cameroon and #Africa in the context of the African Union’s Year of Education and beyond. All of this amounts to a global education crisis we cannot ignore. On International Literacy Day and every day, let's celebrates the importance of reading and writing from an early age. #GAL #RAMAED African Union UNESCO UNESCO Yaounde #ILD2024 #SDG4

#TransformingEducation To take a new form in terms of education, all involved parties must work as a unit. The enhancement of the learning environment should involve the students, teachers, the government, and communities. Students have insights and experiences which are important in the formulation of the curriculum as well as in teaching. Teachers help enact change by employing various teaching methods and creating a conducive learning environment. The government avails resources, formulates relevant policies, and offers assistance towards enhancing education. In education, communities can help by contributing resources, offering their services as volunteers, or campaigning for better education. When these parties join efforts, building a better education system that is relevant to all learners and serves them effectively is possible.

As today is Day of the African Child, with the theme ‘Education for all children in Africa - the time is now’ - we thought we’d share a bit more about our project in Mozambique, She Belongs in School with our project coordinator Safilina Chacate. In Mozambique, just over 40% of girls finish lower secondary school. Adult literacy rates are lower for women than men. We’re working to change this, through our She Belongs in School programme, funded by Global Affairs Canada | Affaires mondiales Canada through Save the Children International. The five year programme aims to enhance the learning outcomes of girls aged between 10-19. Overall, this will be achieved through working with over 99,000 people, from girls and children, their families and communities, school administrators, teachers and education authorities to tackle the underlying causes that contribute to girls’ low rates of education access and achievement. She Belongs in School is working with girls both in and out of the school system, with particular attention on girls facing intersectional discrimination including girls with a disability and those living in remote areas. As an implementing partner, our activities cover 20 communities in Mecanhelas district, Niassa province. She Belongs in School is working to achieve:? ? An increase in the promotion of and support for women and girls’ rights - especially the right to education. ? Greater self-belief, decision-making power and leadership exercised by adolescent girls to pursue education.? ? Safer, more supportive learning environments that build the skills and competencies of girls, and are responsive to their specific needs.
