Egypt: Girls education
Although many Egyptian girls are still trapped by the forces
of tradition and economic need, thousands of others now have a
real chance of transforming their lives through education, says
UNCEF's education expert Dr Malak Zaalouk. The Egyptian government
and UNICEF have helped create 200 community schools in villages
throughout the Assiut region of Upper Egypt where 70 per cent
of the pupils are female. Girls like 10-year-old Hoda (in pink
paper tiara) are quickly learning to take a leading role in their
own education.
Malawi: HIV/AIDS prevention
In Malawi, children as young as 10 are being taught vital lessons
about HIV/AIDS prevention as part of a national curriculum developed
by the government with support from UNICEF. At Domasi Demonstration
Primary School in Zomba, Mrs Martha Chadzamakono's teaches students
like 12-year-old Rebecca Abraham and her friends about the dangers
of unprotected sex through role playing.
