Sounds from the Classroom A new publication from the EFA FTI was launched today in Copenhagen entitled "Sounds from the Classroom" which features success stories from five EFA FTI countries (Ghana, Guyana, Madagascar, Mongolia and Yemen). It focuses on how basic education programs supported by the EFA FTI partnership have impacted the lives of children, parents and communities positively. The brochure tells the story of a nine-year old girl from Madagascar who will be the first of her family's eight children going beyond fifth grade and hopes to continue to high school. It is about a grade two student of an elementary school in Accra, Ghana who just loves to go to school everyday to learn and eat her bowl of boiled yam and kontomire which keeps her going for the whole day. It is also about a herder in Mongolia's remote steppe who takes his young son to a mobile pre-school by horseback — something that was unimaginable when he was a child. |
