Global campaign for Education 2013

"Every Child Needs a Teacher" is a campaign led by the Global Campaign for Education to demand that states act now to ensure every child has well-trained and well-supported teacher. Without teachers, a school is just a building. Without trained teachers, schooling is not education. Without trained teachers for all, education for all will never be a reality.

 

Since 2000, the world has made good progress in getting tens of millions of children into school – but in 2008, that progress stopped. Today, 132 million children remain out of primary and lower secondary school, with little or no hope of ever learning how to read or write, with little or no hope of breaking the cycle of poverty.

 

In 2013, ANHRE and its members in the 10 Arab Independent coalitions for Education took part in this campaign through the activities of the Global Action Week for Education that was launched regionally and internationally.

 

In Jordan, ANHRE launched the global action week under the slogan (the Teacher Deserves) that was adopted also in Palestine and Yemen. The campaign focused on the main role of the teacher in achieving the goals of EFA with the global campaign for education.

 

ANHRE participated in the event "graduation of the qualified trainers" in cooperation with the German Adult Education Association (DVV) and hosted by Queen ZENID Institute for Development (ZENID). The message was:” if we would like to appreciate the educational process, we have to appreciate and value the teachers, and we have to appreciate the important role they played and reward them as they deserve rehabilitation, reduce burdens and improve living conditions.

 

The importance of the Action Week for Education comes from a growing momentum among diverse development stakeholders to look beyond the Education for All (EFA) and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in order to shape the international education development agenda beyond 2015.
