Malala Yousafzai, 2014 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, UN Messenger of Peace and co-founder of the Malala Fund, attends "Spotlight session 5: Advancing gender equality and girls’ and women’s empowerment in and through education” held on the third day of the Transforming Education Summit 2022.

The Transforming Education Summit was being convened in response to a global crisis in education – one of equity and inclusion, quality and relevance. Often slow and unseen, this crisis is having a devastating impact on the futures of children and youth worldwide. The Summit provides a unique opportunity to elevate education to the top of the global political agenda and to mobilize action, ambition, solidarity and solutions to recover pandemic-related learning losses and sow the seeds to transform education in a rapidly changing world.

Headline Closed Circuit Educational Television in Niger

Caption Description ""Operation Tele-Niger"", an experiment in television teaching, began in Niger in 1964 with two experimental classes of 70 six and seven-year-old pupils. It was found after two years that the children had learned at least as much as they would have done in a traditional school. Presently, some 800 children in 20 villages in the region of Niamey, the capital of Niger, are learning to read and write from these special television programmes.
