Miles de niños en riesgo de abandonar el colegio: estas son las principales dificultades

"Sara Saldarriaga, Líder de Educación en World Vision, destaca: "Regresar a clases no es algo fácil de asegurar para todos los niños y niñas. Este debería ser un pleno ejercicio del derecho a la educación, y en esto influyen diferentes aspectos que hay que considerar como son las condiciones socioeconómicas de las familias, sus intenciones de buscar oportunidades en otros lugares o el costo que les implica cuando tienen varios hijos/as en edad escolar."

Para abordar estos desafíos, World Vision implementó durante tres años el proyecto "La Educación No Puede Esperar", financiado por el fondo de Emergencias para la Educación, Education Can not Wait y la Embajada de Canadá. Este proyecto se centró en mejorar el acceso a una educación de calidad, protectora y equitativa para la niñez y adolescencia migrante y refugiada que no asiste a la escuela por diversas razones, beneficiando a un promedio de 39.000 personas, incluyendo a la niñez y sus familias.

Learning for a Lasting Peace: International Day of Education Statement by Education Cannot Wait Executive Director Yasmine Sherif

This includes early childhood education, accelerated learning, mental health and psychosocial support, school feeding, school supplies and equipment, gender-sensitive water and sanitation facilities, cash-transfers to incentivize school attendance, vocational training to enter the workforce, risk management to stay safe, and trained teachers that foster young talents and nurture the ideals of compassion, community and the common good.  

To deliver on our promises outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals, legal commitments in the UN Covenant on Social, Economic and Cultural Rights, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and other international accords, we urgently need more financial resources to deliver the hope and opportunity of an education for girls and boys living on the frontlines of these conflicts and crises. Education Cannot Wait calls on our strategic donors, philanthropic foundations and the private sector to reach our target of  US$1.5 billion so that ECW and our partners worldwide can reach 20 million crisis-affected girls and boys with quality education by 2026.
