Subject: [DIGITALDIVIDE] Teachers Talking About Learning UNICEF
The October 2002 edition of Teachers Talking About Learning has been
posted at the UNICEF Web site:
http://www.unicef.org/teachers/
This month's features announce a renewed focus at TTAL. While
continuing to support teachers in a child-friendly approach to
teaching, through the remainder of 2002, a particular emphasis will
be placed on issues related to Girls' Education. The cost to
societies of ignoring the education of girls is great. Fortunately,
the benefits to communities are also remarkable when girls' basic
right to education is respected. An informative and inspiring
interview describes how one teacher follows her calling to educate
people throughout her region. Related articles from Teachers Talking
and UNICEF encourage your further reading and active participation.

"Early Marriage and Girls' Education in Ethiopia"
Tenagnework Anegagre, a third grade teacher at Shum Sheha Primary
School in Ethiopia, describes how the age-old tradition of early
marriage prevents girls from continuing their schooling. A number of
complex and interrelated factors contribute to the low enrolment and
high drop out rates of girls in Ethiopia. In much of the country
there is a lack of adequate appreciation of the importance of girls'
education on the part of parents and the community, particularly in
rural areas where the majority of the Ethiopian population reside.
Early marriage, which is a common phenomenon in much of the country,
reinforce attitudes that decry the value and need to send girls to
school. Married girls who would like to continue their schooling are
often prevented from doing so. High adult illiteracy rates, with only
one in four adults in rural areas able to read and write, contribute
to perpetuating the limited awareness of community members to the
importance of girls' education. As a result, the majority of girls in
Ethiopia are deprived of their basic right to education.
- > - > Explore Ideas < - < -
There are many barriers to Girls' Education and they exist at many
levels. Early marriage is one such barrier. For a more complete view
of the obstacles young girls may face as they seek to complete a
quality basic education, read Barriers to Girls' Education,
Strategies and Interventions. This is a newly revised and expanded
version of the earlier pamphlet Barriers to Girls' Education.
- > - > Online Discussion < - < -
Many people in the field of education work to enroll and keep girls
in school. Perhaps you are involved in such an initiative. Please
share your experiences or opinions on to this topic via our online
discussion. You can join the discussion from the Teachers Talking
entry page or go directly:
http://www.unicef.org/voy/cgi-bin/zdisc.cgi?index_teacher
- > - > Take Action < - < -
Do girls and boys have equal rights to education? Do they have equal
access? Read a tale of Jabarte and his sister, Amina and complete the
activities with your students. This section, taken from the Wishbook,
draws attention to the different lives and opportunities confronting
children in some cultures.
As always, please feel free to suggest new features or content that
you think would be valuable to our community of educators.

"An expansive study of the information-gathering habits of students and
