Creative learning to bridge the gap underserved children

Across the world, more than 120 million children and adolescents are absent from class.

In recent years, many countries have been part of international and regional political drives to ensure that all children have access and complete education in the countries that lag behind the most. Such efforts have had some success, with tens of millions entering primary education, and more girls staying in school and pursuing secondary education, improving gender parity in more countries.

Yet despite these and other advances, warnings sounded by the UN and global policy experts indicate that the global progress in education has “left behind” millions of children and young people. More children and adolescents are at risk of dropping out of school, and many are at school facing unsuitable learning conditions.

Behind this failure stands governments, which bear responsibility for ensuring that no child or young person is without education, and lack of focus—both in implementation and in content—in development agendas on governments’ human rights obligations.

This has resulted in an “education deficit”—a shortfall between the educational reality that children experience around the world and what governments have promised and committed to through human rights treaties. This not only undermines the fundamental human right to education, but has real and dire consequences for global development, and entire generations of children.

The benefits of education to both children and broader society could not be clearer. Education can break generational cycles of poverty by enabling children to gain the life skills and knowledge needed to cope with today’s challenges. Education is strongly linked to concrete improvements in health and nutrition, improving children’s very chances for survival. Education empowers children to be full and active participants in society, able to exercise their rights and engage in civil and political life. Education is also a powerful protection factor: children who are in school are less likely to come into conflict with the law and much less vulnerable to rampant forms of child exploitation, including child labor, trafficking, and recruitment into armed groups and forces

First of what is learning? 
 Learning is the accquisition of knowledge or skills through study, experience or being thought
Learning is more effective when it is perceived by those been thought as fun hence the popular education saying "learning is fun" to this end it is is important that in bridging the gap fun must be incolcated into learning process and the banking system of education which involves garbage in garbage out (GIGO)  must be discouraged at all cost.  In other to bridge this gap for the undeserved children between the afforementioned age bracket the following must be considered:

Making learning fun:every body loves fun including children and youth so when a bit of what they perceive to be fun is added to what they are been taught e.g music it will make them more receptive and eager to learn that is why we have many educational materials done with music to encourage and improve learning, educational materials like charts, pictures, puzzles, games and also rhymes,tongue twisters and poems can be used to make learning fun. 

2 building relationships with the children:when a relationship is built with the children, it gives the teacher an opportunity to get to know the temperament of the children and to know what method will be better to deploy in teaching such a child as every child is unique and should be treated as such 

3 creative play: creative play can also be used as a tool to bridging the gap, as creative play can help give the teacher an idea to what a child is good at and it will help give the teacher a hint on how to help the child through what the child is good at. 
For instance some children naturally get drawn to scientific toys during creative play,  an observant teacher will know that such a child will gravitate towards the sciences and can use this findings to help make learning fun and interesting for the child. 
   In conclusion there is a Chinese  saying "  what I hear I  forget, what I see I remember, what I do I understand". When children are involved in the learning process through fun activities they understand and it stays with them forever.

My solution serves the children and thhe youth in my immediate community and this solution can impact their lives through community organisation, where you go into the community amd enlighten them on the need to be educated 

we are positioned to deliver this solution through the means of community entry, we go into the community, discuss the problem of education with the people find possible reason for lack of education amongs the youth and possible ways to help it.

Lack of marrials to enhance  good learning. 

Lack of class rooms.

Exclusion of children with disabilities. 

Lack of funding 

We expect  to our solution to change the community and to enable wider positive impact on the people of the community.

community development professes and follow up

youth no longer go out to other state and become criminals 

I expect my solution to bring sbout change because it has been carried out in a community and change came about

developing the society

theirs division of labour
