tragic reality behind. starts july 24th. this is news africa here's what's coming up. on education hundreds of thousands of children still don't go to school and the u.n. is warning that number is said to girls who speak to an education specialist. also coming up. it's rare it's expensive and it's now being produced in madagascar to hear how the island nation became africa's.

you're welcome to the show education it's a fundamental human right but a new un report says it key deadline for making sure everyone gets an education is about to be missed that 262000000 young people without access to school it's worse than sub-saharan africa and this one's changed much in the next decade says the un's education you don't see you know school to this. funding war and violence children becoming refugees corruption and political failure only 4 percent of youngsters in low income families stay on to the end of secondary school ethiopia is one country where progress is being made it has invested in education and more female teacher almost all children are now in road in school but

challenges still remain. it's a special day in this rule school close to addison the distribution of report cards marked the beginning of the summer holidays parents were invited to participate in the year of the ceremony as a way to involve them in their children's education and i gradually managed to get a link is we don't have much education we have a low status in life the school is good it's a place where our children develop a vision for the future so that they become independent they will help themselves and also help us and it is going to be in ethiopia improving education is a priority the country has the world's 2nd highest percentage of the national budget dedicated to education over 80 percent of the population lives in rural areas and significant efforts have been made to build schools in the countryside but the mindset of parents is one of the remaining challenges for keeping children

in school. not little or no government one big issue is to find a solution with parents the aim should not only be to send their children to school they have to get involved and pay attention to their children studies you must not even at a very young age household chores often get in the way of education girls are especially at risk with a 19 percent dropout rate during the school year after 2 minutes of not be so they have to help their parents are trying so they fetch the water after the cattle plow the land and the girls also have to cook from in this party and of the. teachers are trying to sensitize parents to their children success. redditt is one of the pupils honored for outstanding performance. and i was 2nd in my class of the i'd like to become a top tests. improving infrastructure is also crucial to ensure children stay healthy and make the most of their education classrooms are still very basic with no electricity less than 40 percent of schools have access to water with the

support of an ngo this primary school now has new bathrooms as well as a library but this remains a luxury. for the old in the u.k. providing schools for children used to be difficult but nowadays the main problem is the lack of libraries libraries are very important in schools because students need access to general knowledge not just textbooks that will help them develop a culture of reading. and. in addition education specialists warn about the importance of proper teacher training. see if this is. the most significant or more 70 percent of my development created by. the government is that. even if it meant creating currently but the government. and universities.

a lot of me since you've been leverage in do you live alone. and fast growing population. don't you and do you. not attend and. watch step was to stand there and do this to see who are you going to be. going to every day. and if you're going to do. it for sure to keep it down finding it going to be. good out legs and use it. you've answered a bit of what my 2nd question was going to be to how important i was for parents so i actually managed to get the out kids to school clearly a lot of education even has to go on to make them believe in the whole education

system but also it's not just about getting past access to school is it because it's also important that teach the training how important is it. yeah doing it is important because when we joke when we talk about it again. talk about. few things need to. have before. you can do it so that's really very important. and so i mean you did it you know quality because. they're going to hand it is going to be investing in it. even in education. fat and going to see the. best thing in the hood to get you to be better and if you. are still. people if you do act and it's not very.

intent on investment it's not going to be very busy i'm going to say what i think is very critical. but also you have. our national systems exactly now now while they you grew up in senegal linking to your past on experience how difficult can it be to access primary education yeah actually it is very very discreet and if i take my guess i mean i. used to work. they do go to eliminate school so now you can see a lot of improvement that have been done. but. a lot of you didn't get to. the school. holidays.

you go over a minute you might completely ruin the eggs. malagasy caviar is sold to $750.00 euros per kilo that's $2.00 to $3.00 times cheaper than his french equivalent but the producers say the quality is just as good. well then you can see it's got a nice great color. when i smell it i'm getting fresh butter and when i taste it it rolls nicely in the mouth i think it's good carrier. from. the sturgeon fish are imported in fertilized egg form from russia kept in carefully monitored conditions in a lake that's at almost 1500 meters above sea level. or lake as a very very pure water fed only by rainwater was no industrial or commercial activities in the surrounding area we also produce the fish to do a good fresh products from madagascar all natural so the fish are
