they know that the road is not a solution. they know their flight could be fatal. going back, he's not an option. peace ma, i'm on and the other day are stuck in the spanish border area. alongside other young people there waiting for a chance. that will probably never come. shattered dreams starts june 18th on d. w. the the news a show coming up today. the slow my vision of education in park is that's the jobs being leveled up. the government, as it makes studying the holy cow on compulsory across schools in the country and noted education. this tells me it's because of the countries leadership is a funded mentalist basis. absolutely no doubt about that. and he says that he once

own regular schools and mother to have the same curriculum and india as migrant workers to turn into cities are facing of jobs shortage in an economy. that's by the quote on a lot of spam demick the i'm british energy. welcome to the other news, a show. glad you could join us. schools across most have focused on our set to make the teaching of the holy koran compulsory from later this year. students will be expected to read the entire quote on width translation, learn islamic pres, and memorize the number of things of the prophet mohammed. the move comes just months after the country senate made arabic language teaching mandatory and schools in the capital is some of the critics accuse the government of cow towing islamic parties with these plans studying already keeps zenith and her friends

busy the whole day. but very soon there is mom about school will add another subject arabic zenith wants to study art in the future. she's not interested in a new required language at all. already in a covert situation, it's really hard for us to study and go over those are subjects and adding an epic as the compulsory subject. it's really hard. the government argues that the new curriculum will help students understand the koran better and provide future job opportunities in the middle east. but many students in the capital region already have to learn 2 languages or do and english. they say adding a 3rd and a pandemic is just too much. educational reformers are also raising concerns. the actual reason that we see is that during this government, there has been a trend. islam was ation of cation. and in august,

another government mandate goes into effect making islamic education, compulsory in nearly all schools. it's part of a new single national curriculum. a move liberal reformers also born will increase the influence of religious clerics and fuel intolerance, diesels, or passing rooms a good day. this is to power that now the g actually fees that it has that it can dig up this name and we do this will be passed. so for example, all the blasphemy laws in the sun but fast, just like that. a human rights group has challenged, the curriculum changes and the nation's highest court over concern for religious minorities come august pakistani youth no matter there, belief could potentially have no choice in the matter. joining me for

more now it's part of a's who by he's a nuclear for this is to and a noted education is to join different parking funding capital. it's about welcome, mr. hu bike. how fair is the claim that these recent moves by the government point to an is somebody's ation of education in the country? well, it's not just islam. i zation, it's islam i is ation at a frantic pace. it's far speedier now than it was in the days of general j our lot, who started this trend to it, infusing religion into every level of education. so that now is faster than ever before. and it's at several different levels that the school level, the primary level, the middle high school, and then it goes all the way up to university at the university level, you cannot get a degree whether that be a bachelor's, a master's, or

a ph. d. without studying the i'm and without taking an exam on the court and that was a unanimous decision of the job assembly last lie that is in 2020, at the school level. the changes are absolutely frightening for someone who believes that children should be able to thing for themselves. here are their big propagandized at a, at a pace never seen before. right. so what you're saying that the governor's primary, ron khan, is trying to appease islamic parties with these was i suppose that is a major reason, but it is also that in harm is a fundamentalist basis. absolutely. no doubt about that. he says he's proud to be a fundamental it's he says that he wants to make pakistan the state of

medina, re asset medina. and he said this is opening speech is repeated at about a dozen times so far. and he says that he was a regular schools and mattress has to have the same curriculum. he says they should not be a difference between them. and so, well you are right that he was to appease the extreme right. but he's always so pretty right himself. i mean, it's quite a thing, but if you don't mind me, one thing without that the prime minister of focus on is fundamental is but then to go back to the point about the teaching of the holy koran in schools by design is at the end of the day and it's not make a public what is wrong with the holy koran being taught in schools? oh, if it's stored at home, there's no problem. but if, if, if you, in, if you make the education and public schools and private schools that of the mother

size, then you don't have all hope of being with the modern world. if you're not expected to. and this is being very factual about it. they are, children are being expected to remember not just the, or i'm in out a big but the translation in or do they be required to learn how this is an arabic with all the translations. i am a bart from it all a sudden them of a prayers like what prayer to say while climbing up of light or stairs. what to say. when you walk down, what should you say at the beginning of a meal? what if you but these, it's become absurd. the amount of religion that is being thrust into our children is incorrect. and what is this going to lead to

a nation, which is which is anchored in the 7th century. so what you're also saying is that the government of pockets on is reading the future of pockets on through the children. this is what i have been saying and my colleagues have been saying now for the 3 years that the government adstream empower. and these govern government is adamant. it says that only by making the education of the mother of size, which is slamming seminaries. the same as that of the regular schools, in fact removing different differences between them. and this is what is called the single national curriculum. only in this way can we hope to get to any slamming republic with all the good things about it and so forth. there is no, this sort of education is simply going to take us back into the dark ages.

but eventually we'll have to leave it there for the time. but thank you so much for joining us, sir. ah, and ask about us lock downs and health situation, having particularly unsettling for some 100000000 indians. it's migrant workers. those who leave rural area for cities in such a work as masons, retail workers delivery, dr. essex in the last year. many have been forced back to their villages. however, some of the getting to the time looking for jobs. but in india, capital delhi, for instance, there aren't enough available nearly week laborers gather here every morning to find work. do you all usually is one of them. he's an unskilled migrant labeler who has been working in the informal sector in the capital for almost 6 years. but times are tough for him. he was left without any

work when delhi went into lockdown after the city was hit by the 2nd week of would 19 i'm we're barely getting any work. there is so much unemployment. many of our labors also come back from the villages. the wait for a job every day, but there just isn't enough work. your guess says he finds casual work only one or 2 days a week. hardly enough to make a living. others have had better luck. decent on finding is a migrant worker who skills as a mason have landed him a job at a construction site. we're facing a very difficult time, but it work is not like a regular white collar jump, which is hard to find. as things open up in construction starts, we will get some small jobs because we know the work boundary says that if there is another major disruption from a code we've,

he would have to take loans to survive. as a city begins to open up again with some economic activities, review me. many also migrant workers have made their way back into the city and hope to find the world. but so not much is coming. and according to a new study, it's not been fall, especially with the suffering yet again. what millions of people in the country have lost their job, and the all been unemployment rate have shorter. economists from hawkers thing says the problem is much bigger. he says that many migrant workers are choosing not to come back at all and are dropping out of the workforce because this the few opportunities of finding employment. and he think any recovery will take time. it's not go why the cycle would determine the economic type of it is basically the larger effect of the 1st we've is still lingering on. and it will compound with this concert and it can possibly get into

a bigger effect. it will take on longer time for the economy to, for the labor market, for the employment needs to come to the nominal or non gauge. the unskilled worker remembers how last the millions were left. jobless during the national lockdown. some of them never work again. he feels that the seemly happened to him. i'm thinking that if i don't get work soon, i'll go back to my village and it looks like i might have to just seems to be no work right now. it was another day with no job for jo gauge. he will be back again at the same spot tomorrow morning waiting for work. but he doesn't know how much longer he can hold out. and he has a few more updates from india on the nevada situation on thursday. the country to ordered more than 6000 debts, the world's highest every single day, a death told from the crow nevada's. this was offered an official recount in the state of be hard. that up to you has agreed to intensify talks over

a proposed payton waiver on over $900.00 vaccines. india and south africa have lead cold for the rivers to increase vaccine supplies in the world. and is of course more about us updates on our website deducted dot com, forward slash a shout back tomorrow. at the same time. will see you then. bye bye. ah, the news the site against the corona virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection in developing? what does the latest research say information and contact the corona virus because the 19 special next on the w

to be on as we take on the world, we're all about the stories that matter to the whatever it takes at least my follow up on fire made for mines ah, the experts say school closures were a necessary evil to slow the spread of the corona virus. the thing affected 80 percent of children worldwide forcing most to study from home, placing an extra non parents modern technology helped in many cases. but not all

the pandemic could see millions of children left behind. can generation covered make the grade. and what happens after school, are we talking about permanent damage? will this affect students chances on the job market? all questions for our guest in a moment. first, this report, the 7 year old ruse guy was accompanying his mother john done doing for him to work like most days. due to the panoramic turkish schools have been shirts for over year. john don runs a private kindergarten on the outskirts of a stumble. there occasionally allowed to open, unlike schools. china, her son attend to school for 6 months before authorities ordered, all schools closed no ruse. guy spends his time at his mother's kindergarten or at home, attending virtual lessons. something the 2nd grader doesn't enjoy

to feel i preferred math classes in school, but i liked it even though teachers sometimes got angry at us for the past year. remote learning has been the new normal for ruth guard a challenging situation for him. and mother really scar, struggle to stay focused in front of the screen. you know, he still can't read or write properly. the kids have lost interest in everything because they don't want to leave the house anymore. again, you are losing touch with the outside world. over $10000000.00 turkish children and teenagers haven't attended school in month, they're only allowed to bike for exams like these people's stumble primary school.

many parents are fed up with the government strict stance on schools. it took a small off educator to be their top priority. instead of holding conferences and party conventions without healing any corona restrictions, the education sector is being collected on a real. while most of the european countries have tried avoiding school closures took his education and science workers union. warren's turkish pupils are falling behind language lessons are not very effective. reading basically last an entire year of teaching. we never understood why school supposedly pose a greater infection risk and cafes restaurant look counselor coffee. those are allowed to open them on the turkish school closures has hit per families like the lands hardest. some for 1000000 turkish school children don't have internet access

at home. that means mohammed azlan must rely on the educational programs on turkey state television. what do you, along with money, can send the children to private schools and tutors to help their children catch up . all we didn't want to really be me. can our children have to resort to educational television shows? not really wealthy parents like xanda a good friend are finding turkeys. economic situation increasingly difficult to john done says more and more parents are taking the youngest out of kindergarten. if the trend continues, she may go out of business. but mothers are even worse for turkey. school children, they are the ones paying the highest price in this pandemic window lanka is assistant professor of social policy at the belgian university, k u, german. so can we expect all these children just to catch up once the pendant mix

for the overall? are we looking at long term effects, for example, job prospects? well, i have to say, i'm afraid we are looking really at these long term effect in terms of educational obtainment in terms of job prospect. and if we don't try to mitigate the impact of the school closures on the most vulnerable children, students, i'm afraid weebly jeopardizing the future. it's kind of well known that educational obtainment and in particular you're a higher education attainment is really is really important for you later job prospect. and so if those children don't have this higher education attainment, you know, they will have trouble finding decent jobs later on in life. and this might reinforce the cycle of, of inequality that we are witnessing just how many children are we actually talking about? how many schools were closed during the pandemic? well, you know, at the peak of the 1st way from april 2020,

we'll be talking about one and a half 1000000000 children worldwide, who have been affected by these by this school closures. but even today, after a 2nd wave and sometimes a 3rd wife, you know, at the global scale we, we, we still see that over 200000000 children are affected and their schooling experienced, their learning has been interrupted. and even today, also in europe, in countries such a germ your bell to norway, for instance, schools are still often partially close to many students still have to deal with remote learning. so it affects a lot, a lot of children on a global scale. absolutely. when we've been talking about learning and also the fact that these kids have been having a hard time and having to catch up. but what about something as important as social skills that kids also learn at school, which is so important later on in life? yes, i mean, i mean, i mean, i mean you schooling outcomes are very important, of course, but schools are more than that,

as we all know. right. else is social places, social environments, places where children meet older children, my children play where children sort of, you know, also can eat healthy for instance. that is one important function of a school besides learning education. and we know that school closures have had detrimental effects on the, on that part as well on that account as well. and of course, affecting those most foldable children, those most disadvantages children who, you know, who stand to gain the most from having social context with other children. so this is absolutely a problem as well. besides, you know, the learning outcome issue. so give me some solutions. what are we going to do about this can, can we change the situation? well, i think, you know, one of the key lessons that we learned is if we switch to remote learning, learning needs to continue. i mean, i'm absolutely convinced that digital technology is offer a lot of opportunities, but you know, most schools and teachers were not really equipped with knowledge and the right

tools to, to offer high quality remote teaching. so one thing we need to do is we need to really start improving the competencies of teachers and schools. we need to invest in digital infrastructure of schools. so if we switch to remote learning at learning can continue for all children that all children can access high quality remote teaching. but of course, you know, we know that many children grope and disadvantage families, proper references in environments which are detrimental for learning. if you have to follow online courses with 5 children in one room, for instance, you know, it's impossible to learn properly. so we need to make sure that remote learning, you know, it's sort of adjusted to the situation of the most disadvantage as children. one simple example can be if we give assignments to children, for instance, in a remote teaching environment, make sure that it is possible. it is feasible for the children to make their assignments on paper. that's one very simple solution that we can implement. you

had it from when for longer. thank you very much for being on the show today. happy to be there. thank you. lots of good advice. their time to hand you over to derrick williams. again, our phones corresponded. he's got an interesting question today about coded and h o. the average age of patients in the severity of cuba, 1900, changed since the beginning of the pandemic. oh, this is such a complex question on so many different levels that it's, it's nearly impossible to really answer adequately and i can't, but i'm happy to talk about why 1st saying that we can track averages implies that we had adequate surveillance measures in place from the very beginning of the pandemic, but we didn't, it took months to get large scale testing up and running, even in the industrialized world. so the statistics from the early days in

particular about how many people of what age actually have the disease and how badly they have to be taken. not just with a grain of salt, but with a whole handful of it. and in many countries, those statistics still do. then there are a host of other slippery variables, for example, that doctors have gotten a lot better at treating over 19, as the pandemic progress and, and they gained experience with those treatments. finally, the introduction of vaccines to different age groups at different times in different countries. that's also changed. pandemic dynamics and ways that make blanket statements really just pretty untenable. just to illustrate, let's look at the situation here in germany. one thing we know for sure is that the older you get, the more dangerous and potentially deadly contracting,

coded 19 becomes that hasn't changed. what has changed here is that as the vaccine drive progresses, an increasing number of high risk people. so those over the age of 50, they're protected by vaccine induced immunity. in the most recent wave in germany, which is hopefully the last, a lot of doctors, anecdotally reported that they believed the average age of patients in intensive care have dropped pretty dramatically compared to earlier ways. but the actual statistics are kind of hard to interpret. one complicating factor, for instance, is that if a younger person ends up in intensive care, there are a lot more likely to survive for weeks before they recover or, or die occupying a bed for much longer than a more frail elderly person might. but those kinds of trends are specific to here.

they can't really be applied to other countries because they depend on a wide range of factors. everything from the state of hospital infrastructure to the vaccine priorities that germany has. 4 different age groups. me there. i bent as well then thanks for watching face as you again, ah, the news? the news
