am. welcome to. the week w. . welcome to global 3000 today we take a close look at education and training the main role of schools is to give children a firm foundation 1st successful future 200 years ago just 2300000 of the world's children attended school now it's more like $700000000.00 that's almost 90 percent of all school age kids. the right to an education is even laid down in the

1948 un declaration of human rights education should be one of the global success stories and yet there's a widening gap between education standards across the world children in developing countries around 100 years behind those of industrialized nations. so why is that while many children in developing countries have to work outside of school. and armed conflicts can prevent them from attending school regularly. in wealthier countries young people typically attend school for an average of 12 years in developing countries for just 6 and a half years. and there are differences within the industrialized nations themselves to a child's back. around too often determines that successes school poverty can be

a huge obstacle when it comes to gaining a good education those who can often spend a lot of money on their kids go willing parents spend around 90000000000 euros worldwide on extra coaching every year partly because they're afraid their kids won't otherwise make the grade and so the gap widens in china too many parents and kids have one objective when it comes to schooling getting a good leaving certificate or gal cow it decides whether they'll be wealthy or poor later in life. joe waits here every day at 331st son's class to end she quit her job so that she can spend more time raising shall shout. the 7 year old spend 7 hours a day in school but that's only part of his education but over a fracture. joe ng has organized

a schedule of activities for his afternoon of love love love love love and they start at 4 pm with a talk about the day's homework. i don't look at his grades so much but i do pay attention to his study habits in 1st grade his chinese characters $1.00 very neat but he's improved it's his attitude towards learning that counts. like many middle class parents in china she feels the regular school curriculum isn't enough for her child it's common for families to pay for additional classes and tutoring. that. drives the arm round here which show shows extra curricular lessons include a good chinese swimming exercise and math chinese parents spend an average of $15000.00 euros annually on private tutoring. i have 8 minutes to complete this page. that. she.

was with her let their high do you think his schedule is very tiring but children have endless energy when it comes to doing things they like you just have to make sure he's in good spirits when studying gets dull hill is interest and you need to stop. the schools here expect parents to get involved in the children's learning process. for her this is the school's app. using the app gets daily reports from shows shows teachers on her son's performance and his homework. in china homework is a tough job for the parents it can give you a heart condition. by 5 45 pm show show is finished his math and english exercises he and his mother take a break for dinner his father. works 12 hours

a day so shall show barely sees him during the week chinese children are already being trained for their later workload. watersheds eyes i think i have enough time to play it's like at my homework done quickly i have more but if i'm too slow i have less sometimes i have an hour a day sometimes 40 minutes or just 20 hours it depends. it's time for his evening class of language and writing course china's technophile society enthusiastically embraces new teaching methods especially if they're more playful than traditional learning by rote but joe sometimes asks or self if she's pushing him too far she'll. learn so isn't that many children now in china excellent students but then they fail an important exam and they can't deal with the frustration and they jump off a roof top what matters most to me is to raise a healthy personality. that's an issue that's much discussed on the internet in

china the competition to enter the best schools in universities is fierce and there is one thing that has not changed for generations chinese characters require a lot of practice by the end of primary school children are expected to read and write 3500 characters practicing those characters as show shows final task of the day. at $930.00 he's finally done bed time he just finished 12 hours of studying and activities yeah because we are. now it's sunday but he's not off today either weekends are the busiest time for tutors besides regular school subjects there's a broad range of subjects that parents can book for their kids from ballet to chess are covered graffiti and even scheme for children like show show saturdays and

sundays can be just as busy as the rest of the week. show shows parents have decided to limit his activities on weekends to one class per day on sundays he gets tutored in physical fitness. schools focus on intellectual activities the space for physical exercise is limited most kids spend a lot of time sitting and doing homework but to have enough time to train that body . another tough week is over for shall show no more classes and no more homework in the afternoon his parents have something special in store they're taking him to a museum. whether through apps or virtual reality technology is on the rise in the classroom many experts believe that acquiring skills in the latest technologies will be essential for children's futures after

all around $2000000000.00 low level jobs a likely to disappear in future as a result of increasing automation and yet in developing countries as many as 9 in 10 children typically leave school without any such skills. here at the time or interest school in the small coastal town of no children from the indigenous wiley tribe are learning about social justice and democracy. damage even initiative that is working with the marginalised tribal communities in the hope who have historically been denied their right. to hell with education or decent living. access to their forests and this is a community that is at the bottom rung of the society for any signs that the school is are not just a school it's an experiment is that article or doner give to say that education must be about social justice and together along with this group of people we are

experimenting with how open source open toss technologies can really bring about change. this approach means that the children's families don't have to buy any school books tamarind only uses online educational resources that are accessible for free. this system is no less open education which works on the premise that high quality educational material and technology should be available to all. the time or interest school that once the lesson is to be fun it's a radical departure from the more hierarchical system common in indian schools the school computers use open source software that's also available for free the children can then modify it themselves and young students are learning the chord they're learning to program probably as they go order them learning to make small video animation games their new to produce things that.

the other very important principle in tamarind trees world is that as we said earlier we are part of the open source movement so every thing on our campus is. michelle charla and he moved from mumbai to over 15 years ago since then they've worked closely with the local community determined not to turn this into a charitable institute the school charges the parents fees ensuring that they stay invested many of the children's parents are unable to read and write the school office their children the chance of a better life. it's easier for us because. so the parents of the students really just have faith they just have trust that ok what do with these guys are doing there must be doing it right because they didn't have an idea i. dissent trees of discrimination these children are the 1st from the tribe to experience this kind of respect their education will give them

ultrasound scan doctors as she's known here has brought the equipment with her as she and her team work for the nonprofit organization doctors for madagascar not even the midwives here are familiar with the ultrasound equipment so understandably many of the pregnant women need reassuring. there is still thirst for us it because they have to be a friend that there is no the facts are that they are still afraid. it might be dangerous but we still eat for and that's just because it's actually for. us. the assistant to see you. of course many of the women are very happy when they see the baby for the 1st time. and they're all so happy that these check ups a free of charge yes the us and. doctors are providing training for the

midwives one focal point is the importance of hygiene which is vital for the health of both mother and child but the midwives are also learning more about what they need to do during the birth. crikey the middle east that he. the midwives often only have basic medical knowledge by providing them with additional training n.g.o.s doctors for madagascar wants to improve the standard of prenatal care at the health center. in this way potential complications can be recognised earlier. doctors for madagascar has also set up a digital health insurance system it's called madi it's particularly helpful for the pregnant women they pay 3 year olds

a month into the insurance then they get free prenatal checkups and all the hospital costs for the birth are also covered the women's mobile phone sim card is their membership id. doctors of enter. a pregnant woman who wants to join the insurance scheme. if an emergency were to crop up in this remote region there would be very few families who could afford to pay for transport to the hospital. this mother wants to use her new sim card to transfer the equivalent of 5 euros 2. after that she'll pay 3 year olds a month whatever customers pay in gets automatically doubled thanks to donations from germany once they've built up a credit of $30.00 euros their medical care is covered. we have heard that her money is. increased. and there she have

physician usually is emulation is one of the founders of doctors for madagascar he set up the platform 2 years ago. basically this is the reason to talk about rushed we figured we'd been totally surprised at how many of joint. we have more women and families using it than we expected and we're also getting requests from hospitals including ones in completely different parts of the capital and others outside the city to all of wanting to use the system also we think it's great to just gonna forget that one doesn't get to touch one. he already has 6000 paying members and now the government of ghana has also expressed interest in this health insurance scheme. for health care security a social network as many as 4000000000 people worldwide have no access to such basic protection with the lowest levels of education

a most at risk in brazil casual trash because and now being given the chance to train as official waste salt has instead. this patch of land 20 kilometers outside the capital brasilia used to be the biggest landfill site in latin america last year the dump was closed and a 60 meter high mountain of garbage was covered with. construction waste is still being dumped there although that's illegal the national waste policy ends to eradicate landfills and promote recycling with residual waste either incinerated or going to sanitary landfills that protect the environment but there are still 2 and a half 1000 open landfill sites across the country. for non this worked here as a waste picker for 20 years mainly at night she supported her 4 children by selling anything of value she found they used to live in a shanty town right beside the dump and. they were always

in a struggle with the trucks the bulldozers and with more than a 1000 other people working here i thought it was survival of the fittest bed that my thoughts about how much you took as much as i could get off you would do that and for women that was very challenging people lost their lives working here very tough. at 1st lucy a friend and this was very much against the closure of the garbage dump she had little faith in the city authorities pledged to provide jobs for some 750 trash because in new recycling facilities but now that's where. he walks and she's changed her mind. you know compensate he will say i never thought i might one day have a real job me a simple waist picker with no rights and no social insurance. and now i work here i even have an office. if only i paid a little better it would be perfect as you know my eyes she used to and 4 times as

much scavenging on the old dump she and her colleagues now belong to a cooperative that operates one of the recycling facilities what they have depends on how much trash they sort on average only about $200.00 euro's a month so far because for now not enough waste is delivered to the facility. and watch how many other fernandez is a supervisor she makes sure the work is done properly that is how many. cafe a nice day to come there aren't enough people working on the conveyor belt a lot of recyclable material gets through life then we have to check it to make sure things don't end up in residual waste that don't belong there if i see that happening i put more people on at the end of the belt that the process is set to become more efficient with the help of some students from the university of brasilia. until recently that professor apollo said so those race gomez was deputy

director of the municipal sanitation all for a seat he helped restructure brazilians waste management systems. kind of everybody is collecting something different she's sorting out glass bottles she's sorting out plastic bottles further along somebody is pulling out the cardboard enough and it's possible the process could be made more efficient if the positions were switched around that's something we need to test this tell us. but not all the trash delivered here to be sorted can be recycled much of it has to be disposed of. the aim of the program is to increase the proportion of waste that can be recycled. everything that can be stored and soldiers returned to the production chain to the recycling at district if it doesn't end up being dumped so we're saving the cost of taking it to the landfill extending the lifespan of that site and reducing emissions. this is brazilians new landfill site

far more waste is ending up here than planned one mountain of garbage is complete and being covered with. the pits for the 2nd one has been lined with waterproof sheeting to protect the groundwater from contamination the plan is to capture the gas produced by the decomposing waste and use it. in brazil greenhouse gas emissions from the waste sector have continued to rise dramatically in recent years . the german development agency g i said is advise in brazil years sanitation off on how to reduce emissions. i judge by your vision we are investing in expanding waste sorting and the composting of organic waste that will allow us to reduce the volume of residual waste and vary by emissions of methane as well. you know me as what they are brought at the same time. to raise public awareness so people start their recyclable trash. professor paolo's race has organized across

disciplinary seminar at the university. students from various fields are working on developing sustainable waste management solutions. one approach is to make waste sorting more efficient another is to focus on technology trucks sensors logistics others aim to raise environmental awareness how can the public be involved more closely in the waste recycling process and use the program bring students together with representatives of the municipal sanitation authority the recycling cooperative and also commercial enterprises in cooperation with g.i. said the university of brasilia setting up a postgraduate program in waste management. among brazil cities the capital has taken the lead into validating a sustainable waste management strategy. sorting and collection have just been expanded across the city lucy

a finance is optimistic about her future they'll now be more waste delivered to her co-operative to sort and that means she and her cause. leaks will soon be more. that's all from us this time what did you find particularly educational about the program let us now global 3000 at devaney dot com see you next week.
