Parents in the village of Konovahogu, Côte d'Ivoire, face a tough decision when their children reach school age.
00:00:04
Do they send them to class, or do they send them to work in the field?
00:00:10
Nearly a million children in this war-torn country do not attend school,
00:00:16
which translates into an overall literacy rate of just over 50%.
00:00:20
Three years ago, the local NGO ARC, with help from UNICEF, began offering parents an alternative.
00:00:24
Instead of work or school, children were given the chance to attend class
00:00:31
in between the time they spend in the field raising crops or tending livestock.
00:00:35
Two of the most promising students are brothers Wajanga and Kadukan Silyu,
00:00:40
who are 12 and 8 years old respectively.
00:00:45
There are 10 children in the family, and all of them help out in the field.
00:00:48
The boys spend an hour in the field in the morning,
00:00:52
and several more hours in the field in the late afternoon.
00:00:55
In between, they attend classes at an informal school.
00:00:58
Wajanga says,
00:01:05
I will be able to share the knowledge I gain in school with my family.
00:01:07
I can teach those who have not been able to go to school.
00:01:10
It will also help me get a job.
00:01:13
Children from several nearby villages attend informal classes here,
00:01:16
bringing the total class size to 63 students.
00:01:19
UNICEF provides books and school supplies, as well as teacher training.
00:01:22
Many of the children begin their education here,
00:01:27
but later transfer to formal schools after they learn the basic skills of reading and writing.
00:01:30
The staff of ARC says the benefits of education can be seen everywhere in the village.
00:01:35
Education really changes the daily life here,
00:01:42
especially if you look at the brothers.
00:01:45
Like so many other children here, there's a definite increase in hygiene,
00:01:47
because the children here learn to adopt hygienic behaviors.
00:01:51
When you look around, you see that the clothes are cleaner than they were before.
00:01:55
You also see they keep their houses clean.
00:02:01
They know the importance of cleaning their living space.
00:02:04
You also see more children wearing a watch, and they respect time.
00:02:07
Providing a quality education is a basic human right.
00:02:12
Protecting that right often requires innovative thinking that works with,
00:02:15
not against, local traditions and cultures.
00:02:19
This is Thomas Naiba reporting for UNICEF Television in Konovahogu, Côte d'Ivoire.
