Today is Kiswahili Language Day! According to UNESCO, #Kiswahili is among the 10 most widely spoken languages in the world, with more than 230 million speakers. It is also one of the lingua franca in many countries within East, Central, and Southern Africa, as well as in the Middle East. 🔴 Yet, only 1 in 5 children in #Africa are taught in a language they speak at home (#GEMReport). While speaking a language that is not spoken in the classroom frequently holds back a child's learning, even partial use of the home language is associated with a higher probability of learners being literate. ✅ Did you know that many of our publications are translated into Kiswahili?

Remember Rougui, one of our Spotlight Children from #Senegal 🇸🇳? We visited her and her family this year to catch up on her learning progress since last year. Rougui, now in grade 3, is learning mathematics and is very happy about it. #FoundationalLearning in primary school is a critical building block for all children to be able to fulfill their potential. However, the #GEMReport, Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA), and African Union Spotlight series show that only 1 in 5 children in #Africa will complete primary school and achieve minimum proficiency levels in reading and mathematics. We are following the learning journey of 4 children, aiming to demonstrate through their stories the love they have for learning and what we stand to lose if we don’t invest in their education. Like all children, Rougui is #BornToLearn! Let's ensure we teach them basic skills! Rougui’s journey ➡️ https://lnkd.in/embffwh8

The Internet is often blamed for exposing children to harmful content. Yet, digital technology can also be a game-changer in promoting positive gender norms and providing access to comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) worldwide. From interactive apps to educational TV dramas, here are some innovative ways technology is making a difference: 💡 Interactive educational games: In rural India, the game "Help Pinky" engages girls in discussions about menstrual health, breaking taboos and filling information gaps. 📱 Reproductive health apps: Girls’ Talk+ in the Netherlands enhances sexual health knowledge for adolescent girls with disabilities. 📚 CSE learning platforms: Youth in sub-Saharan Africa benefit from digital libraries and interactive forums. 🎧 Radio educational dramas: In Nepal, radio shows address critical topics like child marriage and domestic violence, inspiring listeners to seek family planning services. 🎬 Television series: In Mexico, "Vencer el Miedo" tackles teenage pregnancy and gender-based violence, influencing viewers' attitudes and behaviors towards sexual health. 🎓 Teacher training: In Thailand, e-learning courses enhance teachers' skills in providing sexuality education and life skills training. These examples, drawn from the #2024GenderReport: Technology on Her Terms, show that while technology has its risks, it also offers powerful tools to educate, challenge social norms, and improve sexual and reproductive health outcomes globally.
