Education

Every child has the right to learn.

On any given school day, over 1 billion children around the world head to class.

More children and adolescents today are enrolled in pre-primary, primary and secondary education than ever before. Yet, for many of them, schooling does not lead to learning.

A lack of trained teachers, inadequate learning materials, makeshift classes and poor sanitation facilities make learning difficult for many children. Others come to school too hungry, sick or exhausted from work or household tasks to benefit from their lessons.

The consequences are grave: An estimated 617 million children and adolescents around the world are unable to reach minimum proficiency levels in reading and mathematics – even though two thirds of them are in school.

This learning crisis is the greatest global challenge to preparing children and adolescents for life, work and active citizenship.

I live in a three-room flat on the fourth floor of a nine-story block of flats.

I live together with my parents and a younger sister.  

There are two bed rooms and a living room there in my flat. Naturally, there is also a kitchen, a bathroom and a toilet. There is a corridor from which we can get into any of the rooms or the kitchen. The flat doesn’t have a balcony, which is a pity really.

Our kitchen is quite modern and reasonably well-equipped. There is a kitchen table, four chairs, a fridge, an electric stove and a cupboard with various pots, pans and the dishes.  

My parents’s bed room is relatively small but quite cosy. There isn’t much furniture in it; there are only a double bed and a wardrobe.

I share a room with my sister because we are quite close and it’s better that way. There are two beds and a large desk with a desk-top computer. We do our homework sitting at this desk and we can do it at the same time because the desk is so large.  

I am quite content with my living conditions; however, I would still prefer to live in my own house in the future.
