BSS, Dhaka :
Nobel peace prize winner Kailash Satyarthi Sunday described financing as one of the major challenges in the education sector in the developing countries leaving millions of children out of schools.
“Many developing countries located in Africa and Asia face physical challenges such as kidnapping and killing particularly for girl students….. Alongside financial problems, these physical challenges are shattering rights to education of many children in those countries particularly war-torn region,” he told a conference on “Right to Education” in the LGED auditorium here.
Campaign for Popular Education (CAMPE) and Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation (PKSF) jointly organized the conference.
Kailash said fundamentalism also has emerged as the biggest challenge in some Asian and African countries and they are discouraging educational campaign particularly for female education meaning large number of girl children have remained out of schools.
“Fundamentalists are against expansion of education as they know education has power that will not allow fundamentalism in society,” he observed.
Referring to Indian constitutional amendment of 2002, the Nobel laureate said educational activists fought for a long time to translate the constitutional amendment for making free and compulsory education as fundamental right of people.
