[00:00.00] From VOA Learning English,
[00:02.80] this is the Education Report.
[00:05.78] Recently, there have been efforts
[00:08.72] to make sure children in Africa
[00:10.80] get a good strong education.
[00:13.93] But a new report says governments
[00:17.06] are losing about $129 billion every year
[00:22.33] on poor quality education.
[00:25.73] As a result, about one in four students in poor countries
[00:31.52] cannot read a complete sentence,
[00:35.48] that represents about 175 million young people.
[00:41.78] The report comes from UNESCO -
[00:45.13] the United Nations Educational,
[00:48.23] Scientific and Cultural Organization.
[00:51.27] It says poor teacher training and spending cuts
[00:56.07] are just two of the reasons for underperforming school systems.
[01:01.71] Pauline Rose, an education specialist directed the report.
[01:08.29] She says more teachers are needed across Africa,
[01:13.35] especially in countries south of the Saharan desert.
[01:17.87] She says the area would need about 225,000 additional teachers
[01:24.53] a year to guarantee a primary school education
[01:28.83] for all boys and girls by 2015.
[01:32.79] Miss Rose says governments like to save money
[01:38.30] by using contract teachers.
[01:40.78] These educators are not government employees
[01:45.19] but work under a special agreement.
[01:48.70] Contract teachers can be easily dismissed
[01:52.98] if found to be underperforming.
[01:55.36] They also earn far less money than teachers working for the government.
[02:01.01] Contract teachers represent more than half of
[02:05.77] the teaching work force in many West African countries.
[02:10.93] Pauline Rose says teachers need to have a strong desire
[02:16.41] to help children learn.
[02:18.38] She says they should want to be in the classroom
[02:22.68] instead of doing other jobs.
[02:25.48] In recent years, financial support for education
[02:31.26] has gone down or stayed the same in many countries.
[02:36.44] The UNESCO report says governments
[02:40.79] will need to increase spending on education.
[02:45.51] Miss Rose says governments can do better on collecting taxes
[02:52.91] and making sure everyone pays their fair share of taxes.
[02:57.59] She says governments could also offer good housing
[03:03.09] to make sure impoverished areas have enough teachers.
[03:08.70] The report says South Africa gives six times more money
[03:15.23] to students in areas with low education levels and high unemployment.
[03:21.76] Malawi is creating teacher colleges to train new candidates
[03:28.44] for teaching positions in skills for rural areas.
[03:33.97] And Ethiopia is urging mentors and supervisors
[03:39.94] to help support teaching candidates.
[03:43.00] And that's the Education Report from VOA Learning English,
[03:49.84] I'm Mario Ritter.
