THE First Lady of Paraguay, Silvana Lopez Moreira, on Thursday hailed the efforts of the Chairperson of the Education Above All (EAA) HH Sheikha Moza bint Nasser to serve education around the world, expressing pride in partaking in the WISE 2019 in Doha.
In her speech at the EAA’s plenary session at the WISE 2019, the first lady of Paraguay mentioned the loopholes in the education system of her country that lead to an increase in the dropout rate of children despite the fact that education is compulsory there.
She explained that the main reasons behind the high dropout rate were the high incidence of poverty, early marriage and the challenges her country had faced.
She said the government of Paraguay believed that education was a sacred right for every human being and a path for a better future for children and society.
Moreira added that as part of her public work, she had started implementing a programme to bring children back to school through sports, especially in fragile, poor and remote areas.
She pointed that she has met with HH Sheikha Moza bint Nasser to implement the ‘Educate a Child’ initiative in her country after its impressive success in providing education to more than 10 million children worldwide.
She pointed out that the programme launched by her institution in Paraguay was an inspiration for FIFA to launch the initiative ‘School football’ in many countries of South America. (QNA)
