Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Gillard takes new
role with global education campaign.
50 million plus.
This is an estimated number of children who have no chance or access to primary
school in poorest countries. They are mainly in the sub-Saharan Africa and in some
parts of Asia where grownups spend more time and effort on just feeding their
families, or in some cases fighting against other tribes or people of different
beliefs.
An ex-PM and ex-education
minister of Australia is setting out her new life to help them. Ms. Julia Gillard
is taking the chairwoman’s role of the Global Partnership for Education (GPE)
to help 60 or so poorest countries to provide education to their children.
Enjoy reading and
learning about this new challenge of a dedicated and respected ex-politician of
Australia.
