If hatred starts with words, peace starts with education.

Audrey Azoulay

UNESCO Director General The United Nations International Day of Education is on 24th January every year. On this day, UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) asks all governments to make education their top priority. It is a government’s duty to make education available for everyone because it is a basic human right.

Free and compulsory elementary education is included in article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Quality education is also Goal 4 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development but, in fact, education is essential for the success of all 17 goals.

The aims of Goal 4 are to make education inclusive and to promote learning opportunities for all. But there are problems with this and education for all is difficult to achieve. Millions of children and young people around the world do not go GLOSSARY to school, and in developing countries, only 1 in hatred odio 5 children with disabilities is at school. Some available disponibile, accessibile governments do not allow girls to continue their aims obiettivi education after primary school. achieve raggiungere developing in via di sviluppo allow permettono succeed avere successo

What can I do on the International Day of Education?

• Study and think about how lucky we are to go to school.

• Give money to organisations that help children go to school.

• Talk to people about these problems.

Good, quality education for all is important to reduce poverty and help children and young people succeed in life. It is the key to prosperity and it is important for self-respect.

Every year on International Education Day, UNESCO invites people to think about how important education is for society, for example the role education has in world peace.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION THE OLYMPICS

Basketball is an Olympic and Paralympic sport, for both men and women. The summer Olympics includes men’s basketball for the first time in 1936 and women’s basketball in 1976.

Wheelchair basketball becomes part of the Paralympics in 1960.

Michael Jordan has two Olympic gold medals – the first in 1984 and the second in 1992 – with the US Basketball team.

THE GAME In basketball, there are two teams who play against each other.

Each team has five players on the court. Players try to throw the ball into the other team’s basket.

The game is very fast because players run, jump and change direction quickly. They can’t hold the ball and walk – they bounce or dribble it on the floor. A slam dunk is an exciting basketball move to see. The player jumps very high, close to the level of the basket, and pushes the ball down into the basket with one or two hands.
