Education is fundamental right of every child: Malala

Global donors must boost aid to developing nations to ensure that millions of the world’s poorest and marginalised children can go to school, a group of Nobel laureates said on Monday, ahead of a global conference on financing for education.

“In fact, if the whole world stopped spending money on the military for just 8 days, we could have the $39 billion needed to provide 12 years of free, quality education to every child on the planet”.

Malala was shot in the head by Taliban militants three years ago because of her lobbying for the right of girls to education.

“Thank you to my father for not clipping my wings and for letting me fly” – Malala shows her medal during the Nobel Peace Prize awards ceremony in Oslo a year ago She highlighted the “brave” attempts at providing education for all in 2000 with the Millennium Development Goals, but condemned the lack of girls who were kept in education past primary school levels.

Fifty-nine million children, many in war zones, do not even attend primary school.

The extra $39 billion a year is the estimated cost of extending basic education to 12 years from nine.

During the World Education Forum in May, 100 countries committed to providing free primary and secondary education to all children by 2030.

The Summit will also be addressed by Malala Yousafzai. My life of being a child will come to an end, it’s quite hard.

But she said her approach will be unaffected.

“I assume there is no restrict of age … to talk of all youngsters’s rights”. “As an adult, you can be the voice of children”. “That is unacceptable”, said Malala, who won the Nobel Peace Prize past year. She wrote that she had been considered “unique” because girls in Pakistan have always been deprived of getting an education.

The commission’s recommendations are expected to be presented in 2016.

The fee, additionally backed by the leaders of Indonesia, Malawi, Chile and the D.I. youngsters’s fund UNICEF, can be chaired by former British prime minister Gordon Brown. “I am extra concerned about historical past, economics, these type of topics, so I may go to Oxford”, she stated.

But she added, jokingly: “I have got so many honorary degrees ̶ from Edinburgh and many others”.
