A report released by the "Education cannot wait" in June shows that the number of school -age children who are affected by crises in the world increased from 75 million in 2016 to 222 million, of which children out of school have increased to 78.2 million. The crisis encountered in these children included conflicts and climate disasters.

Since 2016, this fund has raised more than $ 1 billion to build schools, purchase teaching aids, etc., from nearly 7 million children from more than 30 countries and regions to benefit. Shellf said that a large number of school -age children need educational support and must raise more funds.

According to Agence France -Presse, the general debate of the UN General Assembly on the 19th will discuss the above issues. Shellf plans to organize a meeting in Geneva, Switzerland in February next year to raise an additional 1.5 billion US dollars to subsidize 20 million children to school.

Children who are out of school may flow on the streets, encounter violence, kidnappers, and even children. Shellf said that unless you give these children a chance to go to school, they will take their last hint of hope. (Lin Shuting)
