In UNICEF, two major issues were brought up by the delegates: ‘obstacles to education’ and ‘solutions’ to topics surrounding the education of children. In the world, the lack of education for children in developing countries is a serious issue. As the delegate of the UK stated: “There is a cycle of uneducation because [the children’s] parents are uneducated… and we need to recognize issues in advance...”. Which was replied to by the delegate of Ireland who stated, “School is simply too expensive.”
The delegate of India responded to Ireland and further elaborated on the issues that the delegate of the UK referenced. They said, “[there is a] blanket of poverty…[and] a lack of infrastructure…[and] don’t have great teachers”. These points were repeated and debated throughout the rest of the committee session. The delegate of the UK then jumped back into the debate and claimed that a major issue is, “How long to travel [to school for students] … [and there can be] hostile [conditions]…and it is incredibly difficult… [we must] build more roads.”
The delegate of China entered this vigorous discussion restating one of India’s points that, “Geographical location can make things quite difficult.” After China, Norway conveyed their point of view and brought some new information on the topic. “Children don’t have easy access to education because of inequalities.” Also, they declared that the teaching quality is important and that, at the moment, teachers were producing unsatisfactory performances.
France entered to fray and stated, “There is low income in Paris, and girls are highly illiterate. They make up a large portion of the uneducated population in Paris, and are uneducated because of inequalities. We believe that providing incentives to provide education is a fantastic idea.” Saudi Arabia further stated that inadequate infrastructure is a large issue and that kids deserve education.
Denmark put out the idea that a language barrier could be a large issue in providing education. Responding to Denmark, North Korea also stated that education was not only specific to children. After that Saudi Arabia also said that educating the parents is an important aspect so that they understand why their kids should have education.
After this the topic changed to possible solutions to these issues. Norway started with just stating that something needed to happen. Ireland followed up with a two-stage plan. The first stage is that they need to expand existing schools, and second they need to ensure that relevant information is being taught. After that the delegate of Mexico said that they needed to help develop a curriculum for teachers and schools.
The delegate of India started to receive flak and blame for the lack of education for children. The idea of economic pressure was brought up by India, and agreed with, but many still believe that India isn’t doing enough. In the end, the three issues that almost all delegates agreed upon is that they needed to solve poverty, teach teachers and prevent discrimination, and attempt to fix the issues of inconvenient geography.
