UNICEF is on the ground in over 150 countries and territories to help children survive and thrive,
from early childhood to adolescence. The world’s largest provider of vaccines for developing
countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation. It also supervises
basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence and exploitation.
UNICEF is founded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations of
governments.

The Global Action Week is a worldwide campagne to raise awareness of the importance of
« education for all ». It takes place once a year in April. This year's campaign focuses on education as
a human right -a right denied to millions of people worldwide-.

In the 2001-2002 school year, some 115 of children of primary-school age were not on school- two
thirds of them girls. According to current estimates, 77 million eligible children are not enrolled in
school and many of those enrolled do not attend. Many barriers stand in the way of children’s
schooling, from unaffordable fees to lack of basic facilities , to discrimination and low quality
education. these are often compounded by negative cultural practices and the threats of natural
disasters and civil conflicts.

To address some of these constraints, UNICEF works with its partners to help children start school at
the right age, reduce gender- based and other disparities, improve educational quality and ensure
that education is restored in emergency and post-conflict situations.
