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 are 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 330 for her son's class to end she quit her job so that she could 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 ing has organized the schedule back to videos for his afternoon of our love of

experimenting with how open source open source 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 less used 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 young students are learning to chord their learning to program probably as they go order them learning to make small video animation games their low new previews things that. the other

very important principle in tamarind trees walk 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 heyman 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 offers their children the chance of a better life. you know it's easier for us because these are. so the parents of the students really just have faith they just have trust that ok border with this guys are going there will 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

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 take the mean of the least bit because . 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. because. doctors for madagascar has also set up a digital health insurance system it's called. it's particularly helpful for the pregnant when they pay 3 months into the insurance then they get free prenatal

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 the 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 a 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 the bulldozers and with more than a 1000 other people working here my boss it was survival of the fittest bed that my just about out of my you took as much as you 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 she works 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 up if only i paid a little better it would be perfect as you know my eyes she used to add 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 what they've 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 loose your fernandez is a supervisor she makes sure the work is done properly that is how many. half a nice day to come across 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 i'm in the process. 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 off already he helped restructure brazilians waste management systems. kind of like 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 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 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 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. you know me as 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 than use the program bring students together with representatives of the discipline 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. when sorting and election have just been expanded across the city. is optimistic about her future they'll now be more waste
