i care for the teachers he british. the al i say 2 things night i. start getting on to double and. 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 so 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 that success 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 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 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

a schedule of activities for his afternoon of our love of 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 is into not for her child it's common for families to pay for additional classes and tutoring. that the. dreads. round here which 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. and i have 8 minutes to complete this page. that.

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 covered graffiti and even scheme for children like show show saturdays and

we are experimenting with how open source open source technologies can really bring about change to. 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 lessons 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 there are no new to produce 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 move 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 to trust that ok border with this guys are going 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

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 so there's a straight of it because they don't have to be for it that there is no me that's for the baby but they are still afraid. it might be dangerous but we still before that that source. it's actually for. us. this us 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 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. 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. because. doctors for madagascar has also set up a digital health insurance system it's called mto madi it's particularly helpful for the pregnant women they pay 3 year olds

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 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. 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 bed that my with the bed i was you took as much as i could get. and for women it was very challenging people lost their lives working here very tough. 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 she works and she's changed her mind. you know. i never thought i might one day have a real job me a simple waist picker with no rights and no social insurance obviously. and now i work here i even have an office. if only it 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 cooperative that operates one of the recycling facilities what they've done depends on how much trash they source on average only about $200.00 euro's a month so far because for now not enough waste is delivered to the facility. how much time and other fernandez is a supervisor she makes sure the work is done properly that how many. half 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 i'm in 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 off already he helped restructure brazilian's waste management systems. 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 value. 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 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 brasilia sanitation off on how to reduce emissions. i judged by even if we were 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 a cross 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 can a simple 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 collection have just been expanded across the city lucy if

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