Did you know that 72 million children in the world do not have an opportunity to attend school each day? Nearly half of them live in Africa. The World Leaders signed an agreement that by 2015 every child would receive an education - something that our children can take for granted. Unfortunately, we are still a long way off the final ‘goal' of education for all. Therefore, Stanah school took part in the 1 GOAL ‘Send my friend to school' campaign, which took place during the World Cup period.
As part of their global citizenship education the children found out about the difficulties other children around the world have in gaining an education and some of the reasons for this. During the World Cup period, the children made 1 GOAL scarves, which were signed by their friends and families and will act as a petition, which will be sent to the Prime Minister to remind him of the agreement our country entered into.
These photographs show the children waving their 1 GOAL scarves, in support of education for all children, no matter where they live.
