INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE AFRICAN CHILD 2024 I JUNE 16TH

Today, June 16th marks the Day of the African Child. It’s a day set aside to honour the young lives lost in a peaceful protest for freedom and quality education in Soweto 1976.
The theme for this year is: ‘Education for all children in Africa.
Quality education is the right of every child, regardless of location, race, parental status, disability, or gender.
The Child Rights Act highlights 'Access to Quality, Free and Compulsory Basic Education.' But is it truly free and compulsory in its complete sense?
Let’s not focus only on the problem, as different sides make our complete story. Africa is blessed with talented youngsters. Despite the hurdles, there are teachers, NGOs, parents and other kind-hearted individuals who go out of their way to provide the best learning experiences.
But there is still more work to be done; it’s not enough to have the Child's Rights written in black and white. Implementation is the way forward.
This is a plea and call to action to all stakeholders to get the job done. The time is now.
