The document provides an overview of international frameworks related to child labour and education. It discusses conventions and agreements that promote the right to education and elimination of child labour, including the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Data shows progress has been made in education access but many children, especially in developing countries, still face barriers preventing school enrollment. Child labour remains a significant issue globally and is linked to lack of education opportunities.
Achieving basic education for all in Sierra Leone: trends, issues and prospectsPremier Publishers
The objectives of this article were to examine some of the policies that the Sierra Leone government has set on the achievement of education at the basic education level; present information on trends, issues and challenges being faced in providing basic education; assess whether the government has been able to achieve its policies and come up with recommendations on the way forward. This study was a desk research that relied on consulting secondary data, using various documents pertinent to the study to achieve the objectives of the study. Sierra Leone is a signatory to international protocols which obliges her to be committed to basic education being made free and compulsory. Laws, strategies and partnerships with donor communities have helped to significantly improve basic education. Challenges identified include: gender and rural disparities in access to education and pervasive poverty as key factors that inhibit it achieving the 100 percent enrolment for basic education for children. The paper ended by supporting the inclusion of the community in enhancing and sustaining basic education in the country.

Spatial Distribution Pattern of Public Lower Basic Schools for the Implementa...SalemAluu
This study examined the Spatial Distribution Pattern of Public Lower Basic Schools for the Implementation of Lower Basic Education in Rivers State. One research question guided the study. The descriptive survey design was used. The population for the study was the 942 public lower basic schools in Rivers State. Stratified random sampling technique was used to draw the sample size of 289 schools. A handheld Global Positioning System receiver was the instrument used for the study. Nearest neighbour analysis was used to answer the research question. Findings revealed that the overall pattern of distribution of existing public lower basic schools in Rivers State is clustered. Specifically the distribution of schools in Degema and Akuku-Toru Local Government Areas is dispersed with Rn of 1.72 and 1.36 respectively. The pattern of distribution of Bonny, Opobo/Nkoro, Abua/Odual, Port Harcourt, Obio/Akpor and Ikwerre indicates a clustered pattern with Rn of 0.91, 0.83 0.84, 0.74, 0.72 and 0.24 respectively. The study therefore recommended among other things that the state governments should make policies that guide school mapping and ensure their strict compliance.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

National Government have an obligation to facilitate the
rights of children to education and freedom from child
labour
Review and/or reform of national legislation may be
required
Issues for consideration:
• Legislation should be in accordance with Conventions
Nos. 138 and 182
• Harmonization of legal ages for schooling and
employment
• Expanding coverage of the law
• Types of work that are likely to harm children
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
23. Evidence of child labour
Sound knowledge base of the extent and
causes of child labour are required for
putting child labour on the national policy
agenda
Data necessary to support programming
Cost/benefit analyses can be useful,
particularly for advocacy

27. Question for Discussion
3.Are there databases that already contain child
labour data that have not yet been analysed and
used to help build a picture of child labour?
4.Can the information on the geographical
concentration of child labour, or occupational
focus, be used to support education

Exclusion:
Barriers facing
child labourers
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
34. Session aims
Consider the groups of children that are
prone to child labour and exclusion from
education
Consider how child labour increases
marginalization from education
Identify some of the challenges for
education systems
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
35. Children at risk of exclusion
Children living in rural areas
Children living in urban slums
Minority populations
Girls
Children affected or infected by HIV and AIDS,
particularly AIDS orphans
Children of migrant families
Street children
Children who are trafficked for purposes of labour, or
commercial sexual exploitation, and child domestic
workers
Children affected by crisis or conflict
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
36. Barriers to education:
Accessibility
Distance to school
Social/language barriers
Discrimination (gender, ethnicity, disability etc.)
Early marriage
Lack of birth registration
Inflexible scheduling
Fear of violence at, or on the way to, school
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
37. Barriers to education:
Affordability
Direct costs (e.g. school fees, other
compulsory fees)
Indirect costs (e.g. uniforms, textbooks,
transportation, meals)
Opportunity cost (i.e. income/wage lost to
family from child leaving work to go to
school)
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
38. Barriers to education: Quality
Lack of infrastructure, facilities, materials
and support systems for children
Inadequate conditions of work for teachers
Lack of adequate training, aids and
materials for teachers
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
39. Barriers to education: Relevance
Curriculum detached from local language,
needs, values and aspirations of children
at risk of dropping out
Curriculum inadequate to prepare older
children for the world of work
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
40. Specific barriers for child
labourers
Limited time available for school
Too tired, hungry or sick to concentrate >
increased risk of dropping out
Discrimination and ridicule by peers and/or
teachers
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
41. Girls’ education
Majority of children not enrolled in school are girls
(54%)
Distance to school may pose risk
Participation in education may depend on separate
facilities or female teachers
Educating girls is one of the best investments a
country can make > economic development; high
social returns (e.g. lower birth rates, health)
Girls’ work is often hidden (household chores,
domestic servitude)
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
42. HIV and AIDS
In many countries, AIDS has added a new
dimension to the problem of child labour
UNAIDS estimates 12 million children have lost
one or both parents as a result of AIDS in Sub-
Saharan Africa
Many drop out of school and look for work to
survive
Children often have to provide care and assume
other household responsibilities when a parent
becomes ill or dies
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
43. Conflict and crises
35% of out-of-school children estimated to live in
conflict-affected states
Schools destroyed during armed conflict;
children withdrawn due to insecurity
Conflict and crises may lead to an increase in
some of the unconditional worst forms of child
labour (e.g. children in armed conflict, sexual
exploitation)
In rural areas, droughts or floods may disrupt
livelihoods > children are withdrawn from school
and sent to work
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
44. Task for group work
Identify the main barriers to education in
our country, and rank them in order of
importance (please be specific)
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
45. SESSION 4
Tackling the barriers:
Formal education
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
46. Session aim
To consider strategies for tackling
exclusion from education:
Abolishing school fees
Cash transfer programmes
School feeding programmes
Improving the quality of education
Making use of the education system to
monitor child labour
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
47. Why abolition of school fees?
Leads to major increase in enrolment
Addresses needs of marginalised and
excluded children, including child labourers
Can promote focus on education quality
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
48. Case study: Kenya
Enrolments up from 5.9 million
(2002) to 7.6 million (2005)
Primary completion rose from
63% to 76% (2002-04)
Decline in repetition and drop out rates
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
49. Issues and concerns
Ifnot planned and costed, quality will
suffer, with larger class sizes, same
facilities
Poor quality may lead to drop out
In some countries fees creeping back
through unofficial channels
2005 survey: only 16 out of 93 countries
charged no fees at all
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
50. School Fee Abolition Initiative
Launched in 2005 by UNICEF and the
World Bank
Aims to review, analyze and harness
knowledge and experience on the impact
of school fee abolition
Aims to use this knowledge and
experience as the basis for providing
guidance and countries as they embark on
abolishing school fees
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
51. Cash transfer programmes
Cash incentives to poorer families, which carry a
condition of child’s enrolment and/or regular
school attendance
Mainly used in middle income countries, with
significant impact (e.g. Latin America)
Address major causes of child labour (chronic
poverty, economic shocks)
Counter demand for child labour by raising its
opportunity cost
Very positive impact on girls’ enrolment
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
52. Cash transfer programmes:
Issues and concerns
Few address child labour explicitly
Exceptions: Brazil’s PETI; Ghana’s LEAP
May not be effective against some forms
of child labour (especially “unconditional”
worst forms)
Test will be effectiveness in Africa and
Asia (where child labour is high, but public
services and resources are more limited)
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
53. School feeding programmes
WFP assisting 77 countries (2009)
Helpful in attracting children and providing
nutrition and health support
In poorest regions, may go as far as double
enrolment
Improve learning outcomes, and therefore the
perceived quality of education
In-school feeding can be combined with take-
home meals > important for retaining vulnerable
children
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
54. Quality of education
Relevant curricula
Books and teaching resources
Education methods: need to shift to
learner-centered instruction
Instructional time: sufficient but not
excessive
Teacher absenteeism
Language of instruction
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
55. Teacher quality
Lack of trained professional teachers in
many countries, especially in rural areas
Pre-service and in-service training
Special incentives may be needed for
deployment in rural areas
Hiring contract teachers should be an
exceptional measure
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
56. Education as a monitoring
mechanism for child labour
Education Management Information Systems
(EMIS) used at national and provincial levels >
should be adjusted to collect information on
children not in school
Teachers can help identify children at risk of
dropping out
Peer-to-peer monitoring
Teachers can mobilize students against child
labour
IPEC resources: Child labour: An information kit
for teachers, SCREAM Education Pack
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
57. Question for group work
1. What costs to the family are associated with schooling in our
country (including unofficial fees)? Which could be eliminated?
2. Is there a programme of conditional cash transfers in our country? If
yes, does it respond to the needs of working children? If not, could
it be installed and how?
3. Is there any national experience with school feeding? If yes, what
are the results? If not, could a school feeding programme be
installed? With which partners, in which geographical locations?
4. What are the factors hampering education quality in our country
(e.g. school infrastructure, supply of textbooks, teacher training,
class size etc.)? How could the situation be improved?
5. How can the education system be used as monitoring mechanism
for child labour (e.g. teachers or school counsellors as monitors, or
EMIS)?
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
58. SESSION 5
Tackling the barriers:
Non-formal
transitional education
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
59. Session aim
To consider ways in which non-formal
education (NFE) can complement formal
education in overcoming exclusion and
reaching children and youth who are
unreached by the formal system
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
60. Definition of Non-formal
education (NFE)?
NFE is difficult to define
“Learning activities organised outside the
formal education system”(UNESCO)
Clear learning objectives
Activities vary in target group, certification,
duration, and organisational structure
Should complement formal education (FE)
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
61. International context
1990 World Conference on Education,
Jomtien: “everyone has a right to
education”
2000 Dakar Framework of Action set
seven goals including “ensuring that the
learning needs of all young people and
adults are met through equitable access to
appropriate learning and life skills
programmes”
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
62. Dakar commentary
“..For those who drop out of school or
complete school without acquiring the
literacy, numeracy, and life skills they
need, there must be a range of options for
continuing their learning..”
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
63. So what is transitional NFE?
Equivalency or “second chance”
programmes
Remedial education
“Bridge schools”
Multiple providers
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
64. Arguments for NFE
Helps to reach the unreached – children not
being served by formal system
Can help children back into formal school
Can be flexible (language, time & place, content)
May be more relevant to children’s needs
Easier to involve parents, community and civil
society
Innovation can benefit the formal system
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
65. Case study: Mamidipudi
Venkatarangaiya Foundation,
India
MVF has mobilized communities to withdraw hundreds of
thousands of children from work and place them in school
Phase 1: Literate youth carry out surveys to identify
children at work and out of school and motivate parents
to enrol children in non-formal activities
Phase 2: Three-months summer camps in school
premises. Children start learning reading, writing and
maths in a creative learning environment. Camp
activities.
Phase 3: Transition from camp to hostel and full-time
formal education. MVF teachers and volunteers are
attached to hostels to guide the children in the transition.
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
66. Issues and concerns
Risks making a “second class” system
Risks pulling children out of formal system
Cost efficiency, sustainability
Quality standards lacking
Few measures of outcomes, no inspection
Responsibility of the State to provide quality
education for all children
Certification and accreditation
Equivalency may restrict flexibility
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
67. Moving forward
Strengthening formal education for all children to the
minimum age of employment
Non-formal initiatives that support formal system
Expanding post-primary NFE
Assisting return/entry for out of school children
Transitional education for those unable to return
immediately
Need to set quality standards
More focus on teaching standards and curricula
Need to monitor progression and achievement
Looking into public/private partnerships and incentives for
NGOs to provide quality NFE

68. SCREAM (Supporting Children’s
Rights Through Education, Arts and
the Media)
Education and social mobilization initiative to help
educators raise young people’s awareness of the causes
and consequences of child labour (formal and non-formal
education settings)
Emphasis on the use of the visual, literary and
performing arts

1. What is our country’s non-formal
education strategy and experience?
2. What is the coverage (geographical and
numbers of children reached)? Is the
coverage sufficient?
3. How can we improve the quality of non-
formal education and the linkage with
formal education?

75. Youth employment trends
Youth are three times more likely to be
unemployed than adults
Female youth unemployment rates are higher
than male youth rates in many countries
Significant numbers of young workers are
underemployed, unproductive, working poor
or discouraged
Youth employment challenge is often linked to
child labour prevalence, the spread of
HIV/AIDs and internal/cross-border migration
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
76. Links between child labour and
youth employment
Cruel irony in the co-existence of child labour and jobless
youth
Overlap with the worst forms of child labour (15–17 year olds)
Child labour prevents children from acquiring the human
capital necessary for gainful employment as young adults
Poor youth employment prospects may be a disincentive for
parents to invest in schooling
Workers who are less educated are more likely to be in
informal sector work and less likely to be in wage employment
Former child labourers are more likely to depend on their
children's work > perpetuating the poverty-child labour cycle
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
77. Pre-vocational training
Arranged to acquaint children with materials and
tools for various occupations that could help them
choose a future career path (e.g. basic skills in
woodwork, cooking etc.)
Increases the relevance and interest of the
curriculum to older children, which in turn might
reduce the risk of dropping out
Can be provided through non-formal education
Typically short, providing specific skills
May include job and education counselling
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
78. Vocational education and
skills training
Provides practical skills for older children, which are
marketable skills for decent work
Important mechanism in overcoming exclusion faced
by marginalized children and withdrawing children at
or above minimum age of employment from
hazardous labour
Access of girls may need special attention
Labour market analysis may be useful, to ensure
that training is linked to market needs

Can help link up vocational training with the needs of
local labour markets
Can be formal or non-formal
Recruiting local small businesses as training providers as
an innovative way to link children up to the world of work
Learning takes place in a real commercial setting and
includes a lot of skills practice for the children involved
Children can observe and learn other entrepreneurial
skills, such as negotiating prices, meeting prospective
clients, etc.
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
82. Apprenticeship programmes:
Issues for consideration
Minimum age laws must be respected
Apprenticeships should be based on a written contract
Avoid hazardous work > Regular monitoring
arrangements should be in place, involving local
employers and workers organizations
Workshops should be carefully chosen and placement of
a large number of trainees in one workshop should be
avoided
There should be some simple training for the workshop
owners in training skills, occupational safety and health,
and terms of the contract
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
83. Youth Employment Network
(YEN)
The UN Secretary-General established a Youth
Employment Network (YEN) in 2002 with the
United Nations, the ILO and the World Bank as
core partners
One of the main objectives is to assist countries
in developing national action plans on youth
employment
The national action plans provide an opportunity
for mainstreaming child labour concerns in a
relevant policy framework that enjoys significant
political support
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
84. Questions for discussion
1. What are the main issues and trends in our country concerning:
youth unemployment
youth underemployment
youth working in poor working conditions
2. What is the linkage between child labour and the problems facing
youth in our country (e.g. in a specific sector or geographic
location)? How come child labour and youth unemployment co-exist
in these settings?
3. What education and training policies could help to improve the
situation; for example, skills training programmes for youth,
promoting safe work for youth, etc.?
4. Do you have examples of good practices on skills training and
efforts to promote youth employment?

Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
86. Session aim
To consider opportunities of
mainstreaming child labour through
Education Sector Plans
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
87. Sector programmes
A sector programme encompasses:
an overall strategic framework for a sector
a sectoral medium-term expenditure framework
an annual budget
Sector programmes with action plans should link
to the national poverty reduction strategy or the
National Development Plan
Underlying causes and consequences of child
labour must be included at the sector analysis
stage
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
88. Education sector plan
A single, country-led education sector plan is
regarded as the main delivery vehicle for the
global compact on education
Should address key constraints to accelerating
education in the areas of policy, data, capacity,
and financing
Should align primary education priorities with
those for pre-school, secondary, tertiary, and
non-formal education
Prerequisite for accession to the Global
Partnership for Education
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
89. Guidelines for education
sector plans (ESP)
The ESP should provide a costed strategy for
accelerated progress towards education for all
… identify policy actions to improve education
… provide a strategy for addressing HIV and AIDS,
gender equality and other key issues
… identify capacity constraints and strategies to address
them
… review the total domestic and external resources
available to implement the sector plan and estimate the
additional resource requirements
… indicate how the country intends to carry out
monitoring and evaluation and identify annual targets for
measuring progress
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
90. Child labour in education sector
plans
National authorities need to recognize that
specific population groups face particular barriers
in accessing education
Sector plans should identify steps to be taken to
tackle barriers and to reach the excluded groups
In this way, efforts to provide education for all
and to eliminate child labour can mutually
reinforce each other
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
91. Equity and inclusion guidelines
Issues of gender, disability, and HIV/AIDS can
be sources of exclusion, and often may be linked
with the challenges facing child labourers > a
coordinated response to exclusion is often
valuable
Global Task Force on Child Labour and
Education for All (GTF) proposed that agencies
cooperate on the development of a common tool
for tackling exclusion and promoting equity >
Guidelines were developed through the network
of the UN Girls Education Initiative (UN.GEI)
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
92. Poverty reduction strategies
Broad national development plans that propose how
to reduce poverty nationwide
Results-oriented, containing targets and indicators
Usually set within a three- to five-year time frame
Focus on economic growth and employment as a
requirement for poverty reduction
Leadership of national government, including
national consultation and international support
Opportunity to align child labour elimination
initiatives and allocate resources
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
93. Financing of education
Economic benefits of eliminating child labour are
estimated to outweighs cost by 7 to 1
However: Substantial resources are required to
eliminate all direct costs of education and reduce
indirect costs > increase public sector resources
Other potential sources of financing: budgetary
transfers, debt relief, development assistance
Mainstreaming child labour concerns in education sector plans and programmes
94. Tasks for group work
1. Analyse the national education sector
plan: Is child labour properly
mainstreamed?
2. Develop recommendations on how to

97. The challenge of coordination
Multi-sectoral approach to child labour is
necessary for a coherent response
Find ways to help various Government
departments perceive and address the problem
as part of their work
Important to share data and information
Incentives may be needed to improve the
coordination of different branches of Government
