Reading Comprehension (16 20)

Directions(16 - 20)Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. Some words
may be highlighted to help you locate the same while answering.

On September 9, 2024, the United Nations highlighted the dire need for global action to safeguard
education in conflict zones, with a particular focus on the Middle East. Marking the International Day to
Protect Education from Attack, the UN SecretaryGeneral, António Guterres, emphasized the devastating
effects of ongoing conflicts on children's education. In wartorn regions like Gaza and the West Bank, many
schools remain closed due to violence, significantly disrupting the education of thousands of children.
UNICEF reported that over 625,000 children in Gaza were unable to attend school during the previous
academic year, with an additional 45,000 sixyearolds being prevented from starting their education due to
continued conflict. The situation is no less alarming in the West Bank, where the threat of violence and
psychological trauma further hinders school attendance. This loss of education not only impacts academic
learning but also harms children’s mental health and wellbeing. Guterres stressed that education is
fundamental to the fulfillment of human rights and urged international communities to prioritize the
protection of students. Adele Khodr, the UNICEF Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa,
echoed this sentiment, calling for urgent global efforts to restore education and support children affected
by war.
The UN’s appeal comes at a critical juncture, as education remains one of the least funded sectors in
humanitarian appeals, despite being vital for the future of millions of children. The global community is
urged to act to ensure that children in conflict zones can exercise their right to education and build a
brighter future amidst the challenges of war. This call to action underscores the need for both immediate
humanitarian support and longterm strategies to ensure that education is protected in times of conflict.
