On World Day Against Child Labor, Higher Education emphasizes the importance of education and social welfare

 
Page Content




The International Labor Organization (ILO) emphasized on the occasion of the World Day Against Child Labor, which is marked on the 12th of June 2014, the importance of concerted international efforts to continue to work on reducing the number of working children in the world, in order to preserve the developmental achievements of all countries of the world, and address all drawbacks which undermine such achievements, ensuring that the number of working children in the world has decreased 63.3% since the year 2000.

The UAE contributes in promoting the country’s capabilities of dealing with this issue, and encourages the global movement to protect against the worst forms of child labor by 2016, according to ILO Convention, through adopting a strategy to support the countries of the world in order to achieve the Millennium Developmental Goals, not only through supporting the achievement of the basic items and general goals, especially those related to poverty eradication, raising the level of education, health, and social justice, environmental sustainability, and psychological health, and other goals, but also through supporting all necessary elements of logistical support that lead to the achievement of such goals through adopting a preventive policy, of which education in its various stages is considered a necessary tool, providing an opportunity to attend school for each child in the world, expanding the scope of care and education in the early childhood phase, improving gender parity in primary school enrollment, and raising the level of children's health.

Dubai Cares has recently announced the launch of a cooperation program with Pratham, an Indian organization for education, which aims to promote Indian children’s ability to read, write, and count, and develop early childhood in India. The program includes the support of communities in six Indian States through enhancing the programs that focus on three main subjects: boosting the levels education for those in local schools in the remote areas, ensuring the preparation of children to enter first and second grades, and providing support for the central resources groups, and it is expected that more than one million children will benefit from this program for three years.

The contributions of the UAE Red Crescent to UNICEF are estimated at about 18,760,000 million Dirhams, including contributions in education, health, social life improvement, and children’s psychological health around the world, in addition to humanitarian contributions and initiatives by the different authorities and institutions in the State, and the special initiatives of their Highnesses and Excellency’s, and the charitable Emiratis.

Among 650 million children in the world, there are 130 million children that stay in school but fail to learn the basic skills, whereas 120 million of them don not reach the fourth grade, and there are 168 million children who work in the world, and the main reason is the shortage of material resources allocated for education in those areas, which were far from achieving the goals of education for all, in addition to the other obstacles such as the health problems, and both lead to skipping education and heading to work, and other factors that undermine development and re-raise the indicators of poverty, unemployment, crime and violence, which drive the requirements of development in the negative direction.
