Theirworld: G7 countries failing the next generation
Theirworld has accused the G7 countries of failing to support efforts to get vulnerable children back into school in the wake of the pandemic.
A joint statement from Theirworld President Justin van Fleet and Chair Sarah Brown said world leaders were poised to miss a once-in-a-century opportunity to invest in the next generation .
Foreign and development ministers met in London this week ahead of the UK-hosted G7 summit next month. They committed to support a target of getting 40 million more girls into school and 20 million more girls reading at age of 10 in low and lower middle-income countries by 2026.
NEW YORK, May 5 2021 - Approximately 100 million children are out of school in the Middle East and North Africa as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, armed conflicts and protracted crises. To provide these girls and boys with the mental health and psychosocial support they need to deal with the trauma and stress of these multiplying crises, Education Cannot Wait (ECW) announced today US$250,000 in new funding to support the Norwegian Refugee Council’s Better Learning Programme in the Middle East.
The nine-month ECW Acceleration Facility grant will provide school-based mental health and psychosocial support, strengthen regional capacity to integrate the Better Learning Programme into education programming, advocate for enhanced mental health services for children, and ensure the Better Learning Programme is available as a public good that can be taken to scale and replicated across education in emergency projects.
