Keeping children safe in school: Let’s make this a priority for the education sector | Global Partnership for Education Original
Schools should be places of safety, where girls and boys can thrive and learn. Yet children are too often exposed to staggeringly high levels of violence, often perpetuated by deeply ingrained social and gender norms and institutionally or nationally endorsed forms of corporal punishment. This has grave consequences, harming children’s education and well-being and limiting their life chances.
Sub-Saharan Africa's Economic Stagnation
Over the past 30 years, Sub-Saharan Africa has seen zero change in GNI per capita. What does this mean for gender? While Sub-Saharan Africa has great diversity (especially by religion, economic class, and livelihood systems), one trend is clear: In low-wage economies, girls tend to marry young, bear many children, then remain trapped in back-breaking agriculture, or trapped in saturated informal markets.
The Global Lead Poisoning Crisis
In the rich countries of the West, the electric vehicle revolution is well underway. Climate-conscious consumers drive Teslas or Polestars for reasons of morality and fashion. Poorer countries are also experiencing a wave of electrified mobility. In Bangladesh, electric three-wheeler taxis, known as tuk tuks or rickshaws, are rapidly replacing their gas-powered forebearers on the streets of Dhaka.

Una agenda de bienestar para los estudiantes pobres
El aprendizaje escolar de los niños en los países en desarrollo es motivo de inquietud creciente. Incluso antes de los cierres de escuelas por la pandemia, el 57% de los niños de diez años en países de ingresos bajos y medios no podían leer y comprender un texto sencillo (la definición de «pobreza de aprendizaje»). La crisis de la COVID‑19 empeoró la situación, de modo que grandes donantes e instituciones internacionales lanzaron un programa para la mejora de aptitudes básicas.
