19 pictures that show how happy children are to be at school around the world

Right to education, Teachers and learning

Universal Children's Day on November 20 promotes and celebrates the rights of children - here we celebrate the vital right to a free, quality education, without discrimination. 


ThereÂé¶¹APP™s nothing like the feeling of being in school with your friends and learning.

Sadly, 263 million children and youth around the world are out of school. Âé¶¹APP is helping children to fulfil their potential, through research, pilot projects and campaigning. .

Here Âé¶¹APP“ to mark Universal ChildrenÂé¶¹APP™s Day Âé¶¹APP“ we show the simple joy and fulfilment that children can get from being in school, feeling safe and sharing the learning experience with their teachers and classmates.

To mark Universal ChildrenÂé¶¹APP™s Day 2016, Âé¶¹APP is also promoting the #5for5 campaign on early childhood development Âé¶¹APP“ by asking people to share a picture of themselves before the age of five.

90% of a childÂé¶¹APP™s brain has developed by the time they reach the age of five. That means poorer or marginalised children who canÂé¶¹APP™t access the support and care they need are put at a disadvantage. They can end up starting school with a limited vocabulary and reduced ability to learn, which will affect their opportunities in later life.

But thereÂé¶¹APP™s a solution Âé¶¹APP“ world leaders need to invest more to ensure all children are given the nutrition, care and learning needed for the best start in life. ThatÂé¶¹APP™s what Âé¶¹APPÂé¶¹APP™s #5for5 campaign is about.

If we can join together for Universal ChildrenÂé¶¹APP™s Day and shine a spotlight on the issue, it will increase pressure on world leaders to act. ItÂé¶¹APP™s really simple to get involved and help to make a difference.

HereÂé¶¹APP™s how you can help
