Children deserve to live in a world where they are safe and their rights are protected. But today children are faced with global threats like never before. Whether it’s the dangers of the climate crisis, human-made conflicts, or deadly disease, children’s rights are being challenged around the world.
Education is a fundamental building block in helping children reach their full potential. Yet around the world, we are falling behind in the goal of providing free, equitable, and quality primary and secondary education for all. The long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to disrupt learning, while ongoing conflicts and natural disasters add further setbacks.
Globally, 250 million children are not achieving basic literacy skills, and in Australia, one in five children are developmentally vulnerable by the time they start school.
We know that higher levels of education are closely linked to better health, increased employment opportunities, and greater life satisfaction. A child’s early school years, and how well prepared they are for them, play a crucial role in shaping their future success.
