What's happening in 2008:
In Taiwan preparations for Global Action Week began this week with the introduction of a life curriculum created to address issues of quality and exclusion in schools. This curriculum is now being taught to elementary and junior high schools in 25 regions and it stresses on poor education conditions of foreign children. Next week officials will go Back to School to attend the World's Biggest Lesson.
What happened in 2007?
More than 2,000 people from 25 regions took part in the Action Week. Two children represented the campaign when they spoke about what education meant to children in Taiwan and called the public to sign petitions asking the government to deliver on the Education for All goals. On the Officials Back to School Day government representatives joined hands with children inside the school gates. They signed pledges to promote quality education for all in Taiwan and around the world, to raise the education budget, to improve teachers' working conditions and pre-school education. Throughout the week's activities children learnt not only to cherish the education resources in Taiwan, but also to take social responsibility to fight for everyone's education rights.
