The World Declaration on Education for All (1990)(《全民教育世界宣言》) was mainly about how necessary it is to provide education for all children, youth and adults. It meets their needs and useful skills to their lives. They believe that good quality education, provided by trained teachers, is the right of all children, youth and adults. The basic skills, knowledge, values and attitudes should be included. What's more, creative thinking, problem solving and lifelong learning abilities are also important.
Teachers are important for improving learning. People all know this. They have a powerful influence on the quality of student learning. However, many countries, especially the developing countries, are short of qualified(合格的) teachers—in 1/3 of countries with data, less than 3/4 of teachers are trained to national standards. By 2030, 28 countries will not have enough primary school teachers and over 3.4 million new primary teachers will be needed. Also, teachers are paid poorly. Teacher payment is below US$10 per day in 8 countries.
Quality learning is important and necessary for meeting people's basic needs. It's also necessary for development of the countries. All young people need to learn in active ways. However, 124 million of the children across the world are out of school and 250 million are not learning basic skills as a result of poor quality education. According to a research, 38% of children are not learning the basics in reading and math. And over one-half of them have spent 4 years in school.
Luckily, many countries have realized the importance of quality education and pay great attention to it. There are even some organizations trying to help girls, children with disabilities and children living in poor areas to get an education.

People who are at your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure.

【推荐2】Housework is a part of family life. To let children have more time to play, some parents don’t ask their kids to do housework. Others teach kids to do housework to make kids become independent (独立的). Then here comes a question: Should children help with housework? My answer is “yes” and the following are my reasons(原因).
Housework teaches kids life skills(技能). Many of the life skills are things that teachers do not teach. That makes learning to do housework become even more important.
Housework makes kids learn responsibility(责任) and independence. Living with their parents, they should know that every family member should do their part in keeping the house clean. After they do things by themselves, they won’t always ask their parents for help.
. When parents do housework, most children think it’s easy. Unless (除非) children try some housework themselves, they won’t know how hard their parents are. Therefore(因此), giving them housework may help this insight(深入理解) come quickly.
Housework help improve(提高) children’s planning skills. When children have homework, housework and out-door activities in a day, they need to decide what to do first. Then they will improve their planning skills. This will become more and more important when children get older and have more responsibilities at school and at home.
It’s true that studies are important for children, but it doesn’t mean that they need to spend all the time on their studies. At different ages, there is some housework that is right for children. Doing right housework can teach your child valuable(有价值的) lessons and they will last into his later years.

【推荐1】There are over 800 boarding (寄宿) schools in the UK with students from home and foreign countries. Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country. But the earliest boarding schools were set up for white, rich boys only. Now both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from the age of 7 to 18.
In the UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term. Students study and live together. They can’t go outside if they are not allowed to. In some schools, each student has his or her subject plan. Besides the usual classrooms and labs, the boarding schools have lots of other facilities for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theaters. Most boarding schools have a “light out” time. So when it’s time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off. They have housemasters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.
Nearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict.

【推荐2】In your spare time, do you help your parents with chores (杂活) around the house? Can you cook for your family?
In order to stress (强调) the importance of hard-working spirit education (劳动教育) among students of different ages, the Communist Party of China Central Committee (中共中央) recently released (发布) a guideline (指导纲要).
The guideline calls for students to respect labor work. Students should learn basic life skills and form good working habits through such education.
The government has been trying to stress the importance of hard-working spirit education. But this has been overlooked (忽视) in recent years. Many teenagers do not value the importance of working hard and aren't interested in doing so.
According to a study of nearly 3,000 students that was done by Ningbo Evening News in March, only 22% of students help with everyday chores around the house.
Schools and families play an important role in teaching students about the value of working hard, the guideline says.
Primary and middle schools should provide students with hard-working spirit classes every week, according to the guideline. Schools can also hold activities to give students real-world work experience. For example, schools can teach children how to plant trees on Tree-Planting Day.
As children's first teachers, parents should also encourage children to learn how to do chores at home. Students should master one or two life skills every year. These skills can include cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms.
