Quelque 224 millions d'enfants touchés par les conflits armés, les déplacements forcés, le changement climatique et d'autres crises ont besoin en urgence d'une éducation de qualité, a alerté, mercredi, le fonds mondial des Nations unies pour l’éducation dans les situations d’urgence et de crise prolongée, « Éducation sans délai » (Education Cannot Wait, ECW).

Laut einer neuen Untersuchung haben 224 Millionen Kinder dringenden Bedarf an Unterstützung für eine qualitativ hochwertige Bildung und sind 72 Millionen nicht eingeschult. Qualitativ hochwertige Bildung ist der Schlüssel zu besseren Lernergebnissen.

This access to a quality education is especially crucial when migrant children are in a state of transition, said Yasmine Sherif, executive director of Education Cannot Wait, the United Nations global fund for education in emergencies and protracted crises. She emphasized that education is a key driver in building economic resilience and social cohesion. 

“Without the safety, protection and hope that quality education provides, innocent refugee children face incredible and unimaginable risks,” she said. “Governments must do all they can to ensure that children survive and develop to their full potential.”
