The region is currently home to more than 10 million out-of-school children who should be able to attend primary level and 20 million out-of-school children at secondary level. <br /> “While impressive strides have been made in achieving universal primary education, we have a learning crisis in South Asia with only about half of primary-aged children receiving education with minimum learning standards. We need much greater investment and increased quality education for girls and boys alike if we hope to see the next generation reach their full potential,” said Jean Gough, Regional Director for UNICEF South Asia. <br /> Only 69% of children have access to early childhood education and only a quarter of young people leave school with the secondary skills they need, UNICEF Nepal said. The growing skills gap will stunt economic growth, with far-reaching social and political repercussions. Unless urgent action is taken, the region will fall short of meeting the Education Sustainable Development Goal 4 on education and learning for millions of children and youth by 2030, the conference observed. </p> <p>UN Special Envoy for Global Education and Education Commission’s chair Gordon Brown said, “The Education Commission is proud to co-host this important gathering of countries in South Asia to share experiences of education reform and learn together about new ways to tackle the shared challenge. It’s time to make education a priority and it’s encouraging to see leaders committing to champion education through increased investment and reform. It is possible to get all young people in school and learning within a generation. Let’s work together to make this a reality.”</p> <p>In 2016, the Education Commission launched The Learning Generation: Investing in education for a changing world report with an action plan for the largest expansion of educational opportunity in history.

The region is currently home to more than 10 million out-of-school children who should be able to attend primary level and 20 million out-of-school children at secondary level. <br /> “While impressive strides have been made in achieving universal primary education, we have a learning crisis in South Asia with only about half of primary-aged children receiving education with minimum learning standards. We need much greater investment and increased quality education for girls and boys alike if we hope to see the next generation reach their full potential,” said Jean Gough, Regional Director for UNICEF South Asia. <br /> Only 69% of children have access to early childhood education and only a quarter of young people leave school with the secondary skills they need, UNICEF Nepal said. The growing skills gap will stunt economic growth, with far-reaching social and political repercussions. Unless urgent action is taken, the region will fall short of meeting the Education Sustainable Development Goal 4 on education and learning for millions of children and youth by 2030, the conference observed. </p> <p>UN Special Envoy for Global Education and Education Commission’s chair Gordon Brown said, “The Education Commission is proud to co-host this important gathering of countries in South Asia to share experiences of education reform and learn together about new ways to tackle the shared challenge. It’s time to make education a priority and it’s encouraging to see leaders committing to champion education through increased investment and reform. It is possible to get all young people in school and learning within a generation. Let’s work together to make this a reality.”</p> <p>In 2016, the Education Commission launched The Learning Generation: Investing in education for a changing world report with an action plan for the largest expansion of educational opportunity in history. Drawing on new research from more than 300 partners in 105 countries, the report highlights an ever-worsening learning crisis that, if left unaddressed, will leave half of the world’s 1.6 billion children and youth out of school or failing to learn by 2030.</p> <p>UNICEF said it is joining hands with the Commission and working with governments and partners to accelerate progress in education and increase financing for the sector giving priority to those children most at risk of being excluded from learning. <br /> “There is no better path to stronger economies – more peaceful countries – than investment in every child’s right to an education,” said Henrietta H Fore, executive director of UNICEF.</p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-05-09', 'modified' => '2018-05-09', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '7948', 'image' => null, 'article_date' => '2018-05-09 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '16' ) ), (int) 12 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '8166', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Karishma Kapoor Inaugurates Showroom of Marigold Jewelers', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'May 9: Bollywood actress Karishma Kapoor inaugurated the showroom of Marigold Jewelers, one of the oldest and well known jewelry shops of Nepal, at Durbar Marg on May 7.

The region is currently home to more than 10 million out-of-school children who should be able to attend primary level and 20 million out-of-school children at secondary level. <br /> “While impressive strides have been made in achieving universal primary education, we have a learning crisis in South Asia with only about half of primary-aged children receiving education with minimum learning standards. We need much greater investment and increased quality education for girls and boys alike if we hope to see the next generation reach their full potential,” said Jean Gough, Regional Director for UNICEF South Asia. <br /> Only 69% of children have access to early childhood education and only a quarter of young people leave school with the secondary skills they need, UNICEF Nepal said. The growing skills gap will stunt economic growth, with far-reaching social and political repercussions. Unless urgent action is taken, the region will fall short of meeting the Education Sustainable Development Goal 4 on education and learning for millions of children and youth by 2030, the conference observed. </p> <p>UN Special Envoy for Global Education and Education Commission’s chair Gordon Brown said, “The Education Commission is proud to co-host this important gathering of countries in South Asia to share experiences of education reform and learn together about new ways to tackle the shared challenge. It’s time to make education a priority and it’s encouraging to see leaders committing to champion education through increased investment and reform. It is possible to get all young people in school and learning within a generation. Let’s work together to make this a reality.”</p> <p>In 2016, the Education Commission launched The Learning Generation: Investing in education for a changing world report with an action plan for the largest expansion of educational opportunity in history. Drawing on new research from more than 300 partners in 105 countries, the report highlights an ever-worsening learning crisis that, if left unaddressed, will leave half of the world’s 1.6 billion children and youth out of school or failing to learn by 2030.</p> <p>UNICEF said it is joining hands with the Commission and working with governments and partners to accelerate progress in education and increase financing for the sector giving priority to those children most at risk of being excluded from learning. <br /> “There is no better path to stronger economies – more peaceful countries – than investment in every child’s right to an education,” said Henrietta H Fore, executive director of UNICEF.</p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-05-09', 'modified' => '2018-05-09', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '7948', 'image' => null, 'article_date' => '2018-05-09 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '16' ) ), (int) 12 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '8166', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Karishma Kapoor Inaugurates Showroom of Marigold Jewelers', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'May 9: Bollywood actress Karishma Kapoor inaugurated the showroom of Marigold Jewelers, one of the oldest and well known jewelry shops of Nepal, at Durbar Marg on May 7.

The region is currently home to more than 10 million out-of-school children who should be able to attend primary level and 20 million out-of-school children at secondary level. <br /> “While impressive strides have been made in achieving universal primary education, we have a learning crisis in South Asia with only about half of primary-aged children receiving education with minimum learning standards. We need much greater investment and increased quality education for girls and boys alike if we hope to see the next generation reach their full potential,” said Jean Gough, Regional Director for UNICEF South Asia. <br /> Only 69% of children have access to early childhood education and only a quarter of young people leave school with the secondary skills they need, UNICEF Nepal said. The growing skills gap will stunt economic growth, with far-reaching social and political repercussions. Unless urgent action is taken, the region will fall short of meeting the Education Sustainable Development Goal 4 on education and learning for millions of children and youth by 2030, the conference observed. </p> <p>UN Special Envoy for Global Education and Education Commission’s chair Gordon Brown said, “The Education Commission is proud to co-host this important gathering of countries in South Asia to share experiences of education reform and learn together about new ways to tackle the shared challenge. It’s time to make education a priority and it’s encouraging to see leaders committing to champion education through increased investment and reform. It is possible to get all young people in school and learning within a generation. Let’s work together to make this a reality.”</p> <p>In 2016, the Education Commission launched The Learning Generation: Investing in education for a changing world report with an action plan for the largest expansion of educational opportunity in history. Drawing on new research from more than 300 partners in 105 countries, the report highlights an ever-worsening learning crisis that, if left unaddressed, will leave half of the world’s 1.6 billion children and youth out of school or failing to learn by 2030.</p> <p>UNICEF said it is joining hands with the Commission and working with governments and partners to accelerate progress in education and increase financing for the sector giving priority to those children most at risk of being excluded from learning. <br /> “There is no better path to stronger economies – more peaceful countries – than investment in every child’s right to an education,” said Henrietta H Fore, executive director of UNICEF.</p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-05-09', 'modified' => '2018-05-09', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '7948', 'image' => null, 'article_date' => '2018-05-09 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '16' ) ), (int) 12 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '8166', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Karishma Kapoor Inaugurates Showroom of Marigold Jewelers', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'May 9: Bollywood actress Karishma Kapoor inaugurated the showroom of Marigold Jewelers, one of the oldest and well known jewelry shops of Nepal, at Durbar Marg on May 7.

Coca-Cola was introduced in Nepal in 1979 and has two plants in the country in Balaju and Bharatpur.</p> <p>"For Coca-Cola in Nepal, sustainability is at the heart of the business," reads the statemetn, adding, "The system in Nepal is also committed to creating lasting positive impact on the communities they proudly serve, actively leveraging partnerships with communities, government agencies and non-profits, through a “golden triangle” approach for partnerships. The company has a number of initiatives focused on water replenishment, improving water efficiency, supporting WASH programs in public schools, a focused effort on recycling PET bottles, and also empowering women."</p> <p>Puneet Varshney, Managing Director of Bottlers Nepal Limited said, “On this special occasion of The Coca-Cola Company’s 132nd birthday, we are celebrating our people, our consumers and rejoicing their affection towards our brand. Nepal has loved us for over 4 decades now and it gives me immense pleasure to be celebrating this moment of happiness by creating value for the community we serve in.
