Go global. Global education for girls, that is. April 6-13, 2003 marks the
third annual Global Week of Action where folks around the world call on
world leaders to open up the doors of education to women and girls.
Education International (EI), with its broad coalition of teachers' unions
and development non-governmental organizations, spearheaded this movement
in 2000. The Global Campaign for Education (GCE) was formed, and every
April EI participants, including the National Education Association, gear
up for a week of lobbying, coalition building and teaching.
A major goal of the campaign is that by the year 2005, all girls will be
enabled to access quality primary education and government leaders will
abolish gender discrimination in education. This year on April 9, the GCE
hopes to organize the world's biggest ever lesson. In more than 150
countries in thousands of classrooms, adult education centers,
universities, churches and village halls, students and teachers will engage
in simultaneously teaching the same lesson.
\
The world record attempt will take place at two times: 3:30 a.m. GMT in
South and Southeast Asia and 1:00 p.m. GMT in the rest of the world. In
attempting to set a Guiness World Record, the April 9 lesson also hopes to
teach a simple yet important lesson: "Girls and women need an equal chance
to learn." Sound like fun? Inspirational?
Then send an e-mail to
worldrecord@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for instructions and the lesson plan.
