'd the right to an education is even lay 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 industrialized nations themselves to a child's background 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 schooling parents spend around $90000000000.00 euros worldwide on extra coaching every year 'd 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 how 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 show. the 7 year old spends 7 hours a day in school but that's only part of his education but other voucher. 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 show's 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 they 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 calligraphy and even scheme for children like show show saturdays and

all around $2000000000.00 low level jobs unlikely 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. damaging even initiative that is working with the marginalised tribal communities in the high low who have historically been denied their. right to have education or decent living to access to their forests this is a community that is at the bottom rung of the society for various reasons this school is are not just a school it's an experiment it's set out to kill or doner be able to say that education must be about social justice and together along with this group of people

we are experimenting with how open source or going towards 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 is 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 to chord their 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 in tamarind trees work is that as we said earlier we are part of the open source movement so every thing on our campus is open michelle charla and hayman 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 they must be doing it right because they didn't have an idea. after centuries of discrimination these children are the 1st from the tried to experience this kind of respect their education will give them

the opportunity to overcome the limitations they would otherwise face in indian society. in our global team series we meet young people from around the world. to cheat. this week our team comes from india and he's a big fan of school. and i'm my name's current rushed of aussie. my father is a teacher and works in joel or district. he teaches the children social sciences.

on mobile phones and. i love to go to school because i get to meet my friends there and i love spending time with them. also the teachers at the school teacher something new every day so i really like going to school. there is no mental. method then when making good to lead my free time i like to play cricket. i also like to report. i moved on and i like to write camels. 3 and camel sometimes i also take the buffaloes out to graze on them they'd come to the mother to. go. there was

a time when i think pollution is the biggest problem in the world at the moment. pollution is harming our farmland ruining. our plants the crops are unable to grow properly c. learned marble dioxide is increasing that men because we don't have enough plants to take it up stairs and. they're going to thank you. local television there i like how my parents and grandparents used to live there they stayed healthy they didn't get sick often the 8 days he gave and they drink buffalo and camel milk. camel milk doesn't cause diabetes. nowadays

all people do is run after money half their life then they spend the other half of their life curing themselves of diseases. of the many many. 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 died within a day of being born the highest mortality rates are found in african countries that's why doctors in madagascar focusing on training made why. 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 and 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 afraid that there is no facts for the beat but they are still afraid. it might be dangerous but we still eat for and that's us. it's actually for. to see that. these songs are 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 yes that's. what 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. who could i. mean at least. 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 madi it's particularly helpful for the pregnant women they pay 3 year olds

a month into the insurance scheme 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 team are going to visit 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. because i was this mother wants to use her new sim card to transfer the equivalent of 5 euros to maadi after that she'll pay 3 year as a month. whatever customers pay in gets automatically doubled thanks to donations from germany once they've built up a credit of 30 euros their medical care is covered. we have heard that her money is. increased with our borders and there she have

her account. count so we prove it to her for money. that's nearly 10 euro so she's already one 3rd of the way there. in the evening the team returns to the capital antananarivo. doctors ave uses the time during the drive to plan where she needs to visit the next day. a short distance from the center of the 3000000 strong city she arrives at the office of doctors from madagascar the organization was set up 8 years ago and now employs 30 people including doctors midwives and i.t. specialists like no else in lyon. and his team is working to improve the digital platform for m. tamati which records all the insurance payments and medical treatments. german

physician. is one of the founders of doctors for madagascar he set up the platform 2 years ago. we figured out you can 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 wanting to use the system and we think it's great. entomology 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 those 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 instant. 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 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. 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. we were always

in a struggle with the trucks the bulldozers and with more than a 1000 other people working here my boss it was survival of the fittest myself about how much you took as much as you could get. and for women it was very challenging people lost their lives working here very tough to believe at 1st lucy a friend on 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 what's that 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 obviously. and now i work ere i even have an office. if only it paid a little better it would be perfect as she lay on 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 done 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 lucio fernandez is a supervisor she makes sure the work is done properly but how many. cafe is nice they had a couple there aren't enough people working on the conveyor belt a lot of recyclable material gets through 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 says so does race gomez was deputy

director of the municipal sanitation off already he helped restructure brazilians waste management systems. how to push them like everybody is collecting something different she sorting out glass bottles she's sorting out the 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 in the aim of the. a gram 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 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 brazilian sanitation authority on how to reduce emissions. by 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. the army is what they are brought at the same time we aim 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 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 is 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 lucy often and this is optimistic about

a future they'll now be more waste the liver 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 know global 3000 at d w dot com see you next week. is
