Is the Global Education Sector Heading Toward Fragmentation? by Sophie Edwards, Devex

The global education sector, long neglected according to someexperts, could be set for transformation with the emergence of astring of new funds and financing instruments launching this year.But while the funds have the potential to channel muchneededmoney into learning, some development experts are askingwhether their sudden proliferation risks fragmenting the sector, orduplicating efforts.

The needs are huge: According to UNESCO, 264 millionchildren are out of school, and the United Nations estimates that a further 600 million are in school butlearning little At the same time the share of official development assistance spent on education



learning little. At the same time, the share of official development assistance spent on educationdeclined by about a quarter between 2002 and 2016, from 13 percent down to 10 percent, while ODAspending on health and infrastructure increased, according to the Education Commission’s landmark2015 report. The report estimates that total spending on education will need to go from $1.2 trillion peryear in 2016 to $3 trillion by 2030 across all low and middleincome countries in order to improve schoolsystems and meet the Sustainable Development Goals for education.

A New Deal for Refugees by Tina Rosenberg

For many years now, groups that work with refugees have fought to put an end to the refugee camp. It’sfinally starting to happen.

Camps are a reasonable solution to temporary dislocation. Butrefugee crises can go on for decades. Millions of refugees havelived in their country of shelter for more than 30 years. Twothirdsof humanitarian assistance — intended for emergencies — isspent on crises that are more than eight years old.

Camps are stagnant places. Refugees have access to water andmedical care and are fed and educated, but are largely idle. “Youkeep people for 20 years in camps — don’t expect the nextgeneration to be problemfree,” said Xavier Devictor, who advisesthe World Bank on refugee issues. “Keeping people in those

conditions is not a good idea.” It’s also hard to imagine a better breeding ground for terrorists.


Shaping Congo's Future, One Teacher at a Time by Ephrem Chiruza

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC): Violent conflictand a broken economy have turned teaching into a dangerousprofession. Fortyyearold Kabuo defies the war, however,dedicating her time to educate the children of her wartorncommunity.

Kabuo, who was forced to flee her home when conflict erupted inher village, has returned to teach children affected by the conflict. "Teaching children in a conflict zone isnot easy at all. Instead of focusing during the day, some children prefer to sleep because they stayed upall night, worried about being attacked by bandits."

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 7.4 million children between the ages of five and 17 are unableto attend school. Many of them live in rural areas ravaged by armed conflict.


Education During Wartime Norwegian Refugee Council

Not many humanitarian organisations count education as one of their main activities. For the NorwegianRefugee Council (NRC), though, education has always been a main priority.

"We include school and education in our humanitarian work fromday one," says Annelies Ollieuz, NRC's global educationmanager. She admits, however, that this has not always beeneasy.

We are the only aid organisation to have specialised in working togive help and protection to displaced people. In addition, we help



give help and protection to displaced people. In addition, we helppeople living in the areas where displaced people and refugeessettle. By also supporting preexisting communities, we avoidcreating conflict when they see what we do for the refugees.

Today, we are active in 30 countries, and in total, we employ about 14,000 people. Several thousand ofthese work in educational activities.


Peace Education at Schools: The Only Way Forward by Naeem Ahmed Qazi

School is the only avenue leading to peace but the outdated syllabi, orthodox teaching methodologiesand inappropriate learning environment are too strong in Pakistan leaving minimal chances oftransformation. Our education system primarily focuses on academic learning which is meant to attainhigher grades in examination. Peace education is least important for the policymakers as well asresearchers since few have worked in this domain.

More than ever rising interest of highly educated people in theterrorist organizations and activities is a result of lack of interestshown by our governments, civil society and parents.Devastatingly, use of power remains the answer to violent andnonviolent extremism in the land of pure, even today.

“Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved byunderstanding” Albert Einstein’s words say it all. This is only dueto the lack of understanding that humankind is always at war.


100 Million Young People are Still Illiterate GEM Report

This International Literacy Day there’s plenty to celebrate – the number of young people aged 1524 withno literacy skills worldwide has fallen by 27% since 2000, a fact we hope to see reflected in plummetingadult literacy rates over time too. But this still leaves 100 million youth unable to read. How did so manyget leftbehind?

Levels of illiteracy are disproportionately high in SubSaharanAfrica, affecting one in four young people. This is not only downto poor teaching, low school attendance, poverty or conflict, butalso has a lot to do with a policy shared by most countries in theregion: to teach children to read in official languages – English,French or Portuguese, rather than in the language they speak athome. It was estimated in 2000 that 87% of children were taughtto read in languages they didn’t speak at home. For manychildren, the language of instruction at school is their third orfourth language.


The Missing Link of Refugee Response by Filippo Grandi

As the world's refugee crises continue to deepen and multiply, more displaced children will be at risk ofmissing out on a basic education. That is a travesty not just for outofschool kids, but also for entirecommunities and countries that will someday need to be rebuilt.

More than half of the world’s refugees are children; yet, amongschoolage refugees, more than half are not getting an education.All told, four million young minds are not receiving the schoolingthat they need to realize their potential. And, worse still, the



number of outofschool refugee children has increased by500,000 in the last year alone. If current trends continue,hundreds of thousands more refugee children will be added tothe ranks of the educationally deprived.

Clearly, there is an urgent need for more investment in refugee education. As part of the 2030 Agendafor Sustainable Development, United Nations member states pledged to promote “lifelong learningopportunities for all.” And in the 2016 New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants, governmentspledged to share responsibility for the world’s refugees, and to improve access to education for refugeechildren. These were important commitments. But they will ring hollow until young refugees have thesame opportunities as others to go to school.
