Et pourtant, les ados s’exposent à de réels dangers pendant leurs cavales, drogue, alcool, sexe.

Pour en savoir plus @MissingKidsCH et la @RadioTeleSuisse ont produits un reportage avec la thématique : Mon enfant a fugué.

This article from the @wef states that research has suggested that online #learning has been shown to increase retention of information, and take less time, meaning the changes #coronavirus have caused might be here to stay.

Children are excluded from #education for many reasons. But poverty is the most obstinate barrier.

Children from the poorest households are almost 5x more likely to be out of primary school than those from the richest.

The @ubscenter & @econ_uzh evaluate prominent policies to deal with automation, i.e. universal basic income, reforms of unemployment insurance, changes in taxes & retraining. While no “magic bullet” exists, retraining is more promising than other policies

Ethiopia is being hard-hit by the worst locust invasion in 25 years. According to FAO, about 8.5 million people are already in severe acute food insecurity. Crop decimation compounded by covid-related complicatons will make the response even harder.

We live in a country where the vast majority of youth do not opt for university and opt for more practical, hands-on training after basic schooling, yet unemployment rates remain low.

I’m also proud to say that I’m a mother of three wonderful school-aged daughters. It’s been a great gift to watch them grow, educate and guide them.
