The World's Biggest Lesson PlanTuesday, May 06, 2008 The Global Campaign for Education organised a worldwide event on 23rd April to highlight the fact that thousands of children still don’t enjoy their right to an education. Here is an account by 2 children on the day that their school took part in the World’s Biggest Lesson Plan… We took part in the world's biggest lesson plan on April 23rd 2008. We learnt that some kids from all around the world don’t have an education. They should be able to have a free education just like us and they should be free to play. All the countries who agreed to make education free for all children by 2015 should keep their promise. People should help kids, we helped them, so you should help them too. In some countries, boys can go to school and the girls have to stay at home and work. 750 million adults don’t know how to read and write and many of these are female. Our class feel for these children and want to help them with having an education. In some countries it costs quite a bit of money to go to school. We made cards with children on the front saying they need an education to persuade people to help them. Here are some things that could happen to the children or adults that did not have an education. They could not read road signs and get run over, they could get something poisonous, eat it and die. They really need our help.
