Question

【題目】 The World Declaration on Education for All (1990)(《全民教育世界宣言》) was mainly about how necessary it is to provide education for all children, youth and adults. It meets their needs and useful skills to their lives. They believe that good quality education, provided by trained teachers, is the right of all children, youth and adults. The basic skills, knowledge, values and attitudes should be included. What's more, creative thinking, problem solving and lifelong learning abilities are also important.

Teachers are important for improving learning. People all know this. They have a powerful influence on the quality of student learning. However, many countries, especially the developing countries, are short of qualified(合格的) teachers—in 1/3 of countries with data, less than 3/4 of teachers are trained to national standards. By 2030, 28 countries will not have enough primary school teachers and over 3.4 million new primary teachers will be needed. Also, teachers are paid poorly. Teacher payment is below US$10 per day in 8 countries.

Quality learning is important and necessary for meeting people's basic needs. It's also necessary for development of the countries. All young people need to learn in active ways. However, 124 million of the children across the world are out of school and 250 million are not learning basic skills as a result of poor quality education. According to a research, 38% of children are not learning the basics in reading and math. And over one-half of them have spent 4 years in school.

Luckily, many countries have realized the importance of quality education and pay great attention to it. There are even some organizations trying to help girls, children with disabilities and children living in poor areas to get an education.
