The end of sunmer holidays

Schoolboy doing his homework on the market in Lintian

You often see them in China, boys and girls doing their homework on the street, on the market (while their parents are at work as merchandisers). They work for their future. Chinese parents invest a lot in good education for their children. Often the education they had not due to the historical errors of the regime.

Education is one of the most important development issues worldwide. Boys and girls have to be able to attend school and learn about the world they live in. Hindering children to go to school is a crime against humanity and should be pursued. Regimes that do not invest enough in the education of their children should be forced to change their policy. The Afghan Taliban forbidding girls and women to go to school have unacceptable ideas about what a girl should learn. Using the Koran or even the name of Allah as an argument for their ideas about the oppression of females is blasphemous!

This Chinese boy on the market in Lintian will be able to read and write and so he will have access to knowledge and to the doors to freedom.

Have a nice day!
