The right to education and protection against child labour.

Topic 1 A:

Hi! I am Aurundhaty of class 9. I am discussing the questions in the following way.

1. Many children do not go to school in our country. It is the slogan that all children must go to school. But the poor condition of our people compels their children not sending school. They take them to field, if in villages and in cities, they take them to work in factories or as day laborers. Children’s right for education is the fundamental right of all children and child labour is seriously prohibited. But who will ensure it?

Our government says that all children must go to school. The ministry of education is giving books from class 1 to nine free of cot. Our efficient Education Minister ensures this book distribution on the first day of January. Ministry of Education also provides stipends to poor children for going to school. Still there are many children not going to school because of poverty and lack of knowledge and awareness.

This challenge can be solved only when the country is economically developed. The rich people have to come forward to help also. The UN must come forward to give assistance to educate all children. There should be more budget for education and above all, all adult have to be well-conscious.

The world could certainly be a better place to live in if the children could choose themselves to go to school. If education is made attractive, no child will go to work rather go to school for study.

Child labour is a burning question in Bangladesh. Many children are undergoing inhuman torture. They don't go to school because of poverty. Few pictures of child labour in Bangladesh.

Topic 1 B:

Three of our students live in Islampur area where there are many whole-sellers who sell fabrics. One whole seller told that they import only the fabrics of Indian Arvind. Talking with the manager of the whole-seller, our students got the following information:

-This company tells that they don’t allow child labour in their factory and industries.

-Even the whole-seller don’t allow child labour in their shop for even bringing a cup of tea.

Topic 2 A:

From the web search we have seen that Neha Gupta, an American Indian has got the Kids Rights in 2014. We feel proud of Neha Gupta as she has a Bengali root. We discussed among us that perhaps Neha Gupta was deeply inspired by Mother Teresa who started her charity work in India at first.

When Neha came to India to see her grandparents, she was shocked to see the suffering of the orphans. It is really a wonderful event that a girl of only nine has been so sensible.

We are also proud of Malala of Pakistan who got the Nobel Peace Prize. Both Neha and Malala are from Indian Sub-continent. Both these extraordinary girls have made a difference in the world. They have done the impossible that has not been done by adults or the politicians or the statesmen.

We are deeply inspired by the strives of Malala who is perhaps a special creation of God. She has really made a difference in the field of child rights.She is now the icon of the world’s children who are deprived of education and other fundamental rights.
