our work around december should not. be the least to work since. i was. number 27 on the. 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 their success at 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' school willing parents spend around 90000000000 euros worldwide on extra coaching every year partly because they're afraid their kids won't otherwise make the grain 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. it decides whether they'll be wealthy or poor later in life. joe waits here every day at 330 for her son's class to end she quit her job so that she can spend more time raising shall show. the 7 year old spends 7 hours a day in school. but that's only part of his education but other factors. joe ng has organized

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 bedtime he just finished 12 hours of studying and activities. 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 calligraphy and even scheme for children like show show saturdays and

experimenting with how open source open tossed 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 to use it 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 are there new to produce things that.

the other very important principle and i'm in trees world is that as we said earlier we are part of the open source movement so every thing on our campus is. michelle charlie 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 food. so the parents of the students really just have faith they just have trust that ok border with this guys are doing there must be doing it right because they didn't have an idea. after centuries of discrimination these children are the 1st from the tribe to experience this kind of respect their education will give them the

do is run after money half their life then they spend the other half of their life curing themselves of diseases for. the community. around 260 babies are born every minute how things then go for them is determined by their background their place of birth and the medical care they receive every year around a 1000000 infants die within a day of being born the highest mortality rates are found in african countries that's why doctors in madagascar focusing on training mate wives. crowds wait in anticipation for the arrival of doctors. she supervises 30 health care centers in the highlands of madagascar she wants to improve the health care of vailable to pregnant women in this area. no need to be afraid it

won't hurt that this expectant mother has never had an 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 think they have to be a friend that there is no way back for the baby but they are still afraid. it might be dangerous but we still live for and that's just it it's actually for. the assassin 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 checkups a free of charge yes and their. 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 it because monica. 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 that in this way potential complications can be recognized earlier. doctors for madagascar has also set up a digital health insurance system it's called m tamati it's particularly helpful for the pregnant women and they pay 3 year olds

her. so. that's nearly 10. of the way there. in the evening turns to the capital. the next day ready. she arrives at the office of doctors for madagascar the organization 8 years ago and now employs 30 people including doctors midwives and specialists like. his team is working to improve the digital platform for m. tamati which records all the insurance payments and medical treatments. german

physicians julius emulation is one of the founders of doctors for madagascar he set up the platform 2 years ago. this is the reason to talk about rushed we figured he'd been totally surprised at how many of join it. 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 always wanting to use the system also we think it's great to just gonna forget the one that's been retired. he already has 6000 paying members and now the government of ghana has also expressed interest in this health insurance scheme. 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 pickers and now being given the chance to train as official waste saltus 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 the 60 meter high mountain of garbage was covered with. construction waste is still being dumped over that's illegal the national waste policy ends to eradicate landfills and promote recycling with residual way stipends sin aerated or going to sanitary landfills that protect the environment but there are still 2 and a half 1000 open landfill sites across the country. fernandes 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 of the bulldozers and with more than a 1000 other people working here i thought it was survival of the fittest bad that my was that i was you took as much as they could get. and for women it 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. the what's and she's changed her mind. you know up and say well shit i never thought i might one day have a real job me a simple waste picker with no rights and no social insurance. and now i work here i even have an office up if only it paid a little better it would be perfect as you say i'm ice she used to and 4 times as

much scavenging on the old dump she and her colleagues now belong to a co-operative that operates one of the recycling facilities whopping 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 but how many. cafes nicely to come upon if 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 powell says so does race gomes 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 i'm afraid 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 brazil has nearly landfill site

far more waste is ending up here than planned one mountain of garbage is complete and being covered with. the pit 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 brasilia sanitation authority on how to reduce emissions. by even if we're investing in expanding waste sorting and the composting of organic waste that will allow us to reduce the volume of residual waste and thereby emissions of methane as well. as the army 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 than use the program bring students together with representatives of them in a simple 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 out election have just been expanded across the city. is optimistic about her future they'll now be more waste

delivered to her co-operative to sort and that means she and her. colleagues will soon be on the mall. 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.
