Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?

Child empowerment is high on policy agendas
• The nature of modern
childhood is changing:
Children are increasingly seen
as competent social actors
• Research suggests meaningful
participation of children can
contribute to better outcomes
• How can education systems
support child empowerment?

Empowered children have the opportunity and ability to act on issues important
and relevant to them, can learn by making mistakes, and are key contributors to
democracy.
Children aren’t just adults in the making, they are part of the fabric of society
and are able to help shape our shared future.

YuWaah! aims to enable sustained and coordinated investments to co-create solutions for learning (including alternative and flexible learning programmes), life and employability skills, career guidance and employment opportunities (including entrepreneurship). The target of the partnership is on adolescents and young people in school (25 million), out of school (20 million) and in institutions (4 million). “What we need is to unleash the entrepreneurial spirit in India, especially encourage women entrepreneurs. Gender parity is essential for our growth” We will be supporting 500 innovation labs in the next three years, unleashing the entrepreneurial spirit of India”, said NITI Aayog CEO, Amitabh Kant. The current workforce in India is 480 million, of whom 93 per cent (446 million) are employed in small, informal-sector enterprises. More than 60 per cent (288 million) are employed in rural India. In addition, 90 per cent of India’s workforce has received no formal skills training. In the next twenty years, India’s current population of 444 million children will enter the working age. India will have a huge task to equip these adolescents with marketable skills. YuWaah! aims to support this massive exercise by bringing together key stakeholders to recognize, design and implement solutions to expand employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for education, skills, decent jobs and sustainable livelihoods – that are accessible to all. “Despite significant progress for children in their first decade of life — through reduced child mortality and increased access to primary school — tens of millions of adolescents in India are not getting the support that they need through their second decade of life. And this is especially true for girls, migrants, children with disabilities, and those belonging to historically disadvantaged communities,” said Ms Fore during her interaction with young people at the consultation. In addition to this, Ms Fore also recognized three big opportunities in India: scaling-up flexible education options; expanding social-protection programmes; and supporting young people supporting other young people. Over 60 adolescents and young people from various parts of India, including from the most marginalized groups Dr. K.P Krishnan, Secretary, Skill Development and Entrepreneurship; Ms Rina Ray, Secretary, School Education and Literacy; Dr. Amarendra Kumar Dubey, Secretary, Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, along with representatives from the private sector, UN agencies and civil society organizations were present at the occasion.

Experiences in Engaging With Children in Developmental Processes

HAQ: Centre for Child Rights

The concept of children‟s participation has evolved over the last decade but the notion, either in theory or in practice, has not been able to make a significant dent in the collective mindset of the social and political institutions and the individuals who comprise of them. Most initiatives and interventions have arguably been confined to children‟s rights organizations and activists, and need to be appreciated and accepted by the mainstream society and the state in order to be scaled up. This is largely because of a lack of conceptual understanding and the appreciation of the value and practicability of children‟s participation.

Positive youth development

Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Nigeria

Positive youth development is a philosophy that emphasizes supporting young people's competence, usefulness, belonging, and empowerment. It works best when communities provide a continuum of services and opportunities for youth to develop into healthy adults. Youth development focuses on relationships, skills-building, leadership, and community involvement rather than "fixing" troubled youth. Key elements include viewing youth positively, involving them in activities that build character and skills, and coordinating family, school and community support. Effective programs provide physical and psychological safety, structure, relationships, opportunities to belong, positive social norms, efficacy and skill-building support. Demonstrated programs include Beacons community centers, Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring, Coca-Cola Valued Youth

Running Head: EFFECTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON THE YOUTHS 1 EFFECTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON THE YOUTHS 8 Effects of Social Media on the Youths Institution Name Section One The fact that social media has become part our daily live cannot be overlooked especially in the current innovations in technology. Access to devices such as smart phones and broadband internet has created an easy way through which any one can access any form of information that they want. Although the social media has played a special role in ensuring that the information that we is at our disposal, it has resulted in serious erosion of human morals and ethics. It is not surprising that people value their phones more than they do to their fellow human. However, this research will look at how the young people have been impacted by the social media. The current widespread of the social are becoming an area of interest among the researchers especially about how it has affected the community around the world. Almost every individual is connected to at least one social media plat form and this has attracted the researchers to learn more about these platforms and how they have affected the community around. However, the most affected are the teenagers who have become fanatics of these platforms and have made them part of their daily life to an extent they cannot spend a minute without accessing them.

Despite the good aspects connected to the social media, it has the negative side too and this has bad implications on the youths.

The Social Problem Of Poverty

The document discusses the social problem of poverty and how it relates to incarceration rates among minority groups. It argues that poverty predisposes disadvantaged groups like African Americans and Latinos to incarceration due to racial biases in policing and the criminal justice system. Poverty contributes to higher crime rates in poor neighborhoods and lack of access to resources like education and jobs. Discrimination in employment also makes it harder for disadvantaged groups to escape poverty, further increasing their likelihood of engaging in criminal behavior and incarceration.

Agents of socialization

EmmanuelKFosu

This document discusses the key agents of socialization in the United States, including the family, peer groups, schools, and mass media. It explains that the family is usually the most important socialization agent, especially for young children, through both deliberate and unintended lessons. As children age, peer groups take on more influence in pre-teen and teen years. Schools also play a major role through both planned academic lessons and unplanned social interactions. Mass media, especially TV, is also influential through exposure but without personal contact. Total institutions like prisons aim to resocialize members by stripping their old identity and imposing a new one.

Women's empowerment refers to increasing women's spiritual, political, social and economic strengths, developing their confidence in their abilities, and gaining decision-making power and control over their lives. Empowerment involves gaining power through, with and within oneself. It is a process of building awareness, capacity and greater participation that allows women to get what they want and influence others. Educating girls and women is key to empowering them and has positive impacts for families and future generations. Empowerment also involves women gaining economic independence through work and control over resources as well as political participation and rights over their bodies and lives.

Introduction Illiteracy is the inability to read and write a.docx

MargenePurnell14

Introduction Illiteracy is the inability to read and write at an adequate level of proficiency that is critical for communication. Illiterate adults are unable to use printed and written information to function in the society so as to achieve one’s goals and also to develop one’s potential. According to an international nonprofit ProLiteracy in 2003, there are 36 million adults in the United States alone. This potential includes a broad range of information-processing skills that one can use daily in school and at the community as a whole. Adult illiteracy has become a societal problem because illiterate people can never fully utilize writing and reading skills to make use of their fully potential in the world. The thesis statement of adult illiteracy involves reasons why it identified as a societal problem; the solutions proposed to solve this problem and the statistical information of adult literacy as the global societal problem. Different types of society exist. These types of illiteracy are technological illiteracy, mathematical illiteracy, visual illiteracy, school illiteracy, community illiteracy and personal illiteracy. All these types of illiteracy are caused by various reasons. These reasons are summarized in the following discussion. Causes of Adult Illiteracy People are usually mistaken about illiteracy. School illiteracy is overvalued to the extent that many adults have started to believe the act of reading and writing are the only important things in school. It is this type of reasoning that make many adults less interested in wanting to gain more knowledge and see things beyond the negative images. This has become one of the main reasons why adult illiteracy has increased in the world over the last few years. Another reason for adult illiteracy is the misuse of groups. Some people tend to agree with the argument that can make one believe that he or she is weak as a reader and he or she won’t be able to achieve literacy even after finishing school. This type of thinking lowers someone’s self-esteem and self-confidence meaning that the person will not bother to seek literacy help. People’s reading attitude are influential in literacy behaviors. According to McKenna in 2001, reading attitudes are influenced by factors such as a person’s social experiences with reading, one’s personal experiences, the cultural norms about reading, cultural norms and the learner’s preferences about reading. Attitude is associated with unwillingness to read. Every learning experience that a child has in school will at some point determine how that child will determine to learn. The learners who have had negative experiences in school will come to view school and learning in total as a bad experience that. This disengagement spreads over to adults. An adult learner who has negative perceptions about school would not want to be associated with it. These learners never get interested in educational process because they don’t see it as valuabl.

Partnering with the Media for the protection of children

Great Belize Productions Ltd.

The document discusses guidelines for media to protect children when reporting or covering stories related to children. It provides principles for media to respect children's privacy, dignity, and best interests. Media should obtain consent from parents before interviewing or photographing children under 18. When reporting abuse cases, children's identities should never be revealed as it could endanger them. The media is encouraged to advocate for children's issues but must consider potential consequences of irresponsible reporting like distress, negative stereotypes, or stigmatization.
