Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>The government of Rwanda, alongside Djibouti, Zanzibar and The Gambia have partnered with global education foundation, Education Above All (EAA), as part of the journey to secure universal primary education.<\/p>\n

The development was announced today during this year\u2019s WISE Summit on education in Doha, as leaders discussed strategies to attain Zero Out of School Primary Children (OOSC) in their countries.<\/p>\n

The focus, according to the foundation, is set to be on the most vulnerable such as domestic workers, children with disabilities, and refugees. \u201cIndeed access to education is critical,\u201d said President Paul Kagame, who addressed participants of the meeting virtually.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd education is not just about memorization\u2026it is about equipping children with positive mind-sets,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The head of state emphasized that \u201cif we are to see tangible results and ensure that we build an effective and productive workforce, quality should also be going hand in hand with our objectives,\u201d adding that partnership with education above all will be a catalyst for this.<\/p>\n

Kagame told participants that having every child educated will attract further investments to equip our citizens with the necessary skills to compete in a global economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are already seeing this happening with the Hamad Bin Khalifa University’s proposal to start a master’s a degree programme in cyber security on the campus of the University of Rwanda.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hamad Bin Khalifa University is a Qatari university. He also encouraged other countries to join the efforts so that no child is left behind. Reports indicate that while education is key to achieving the SDGs set out by the United Nations, many countries have still not reached universal primary education.<\/p>\n

As it stands, more than 59 million primary-aged children are out of school worldwide. \u201cThe sustainable development goals among them goal four on education can’t be limited to wealthy countries otherwise, it will not be inclusive and equitable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The four countries mark the first countries in the world to join EAA\u2019s global Zero OOSC campaign, initiated at the same WISE conference, two years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe welcome these governments in joining the journey to achieve Zero out of primary school children and call on more countries to partner with us,\u201d said Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, Chairperson of EAA and UN Sustainable Development Goals Advocate. According to Nasser, the reasons children are not enrolled in education are complex but the challenge is great, and that it requires co-operation.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur work, alongside our partners, shows that it is possible to make a difference. Education is the key to a better, more stable and more prosperous world. We must educate every child at the primary level, no matter their circumstances, gender or geographic location,\u201d she stressed.<\/p>\n
