Conference Seeks to Make Early Childhood Development Priority in Africa

Speaking of Africa, we always think about resources such as oil, gold or diamonds. However, the most important resource is people. Africa's education is not improve, because most of people are very poor. So, parents have to make their children work. For that reason, a lot of children can not read, write or arithmetic.

Also, most children suffer from malnutrition. They have a short attention span. Therefore, more than half of all children who complete primary school have not mastered the basis of reading, writing and arithmetic.

If we want to develop Africa's economy, we have to give children the occasion to take education.
