The Education For All Campaign Network, The Gambia, Region One Chapter, will on Thursday July 17, 2008, commemorate the annual ‘Global Week of Action’ on education on the theme "Politicians Back to School’ at the Tallinding Proper Lower Basic School grounds.

The aim of the celebration is to get as many politicians as possible to go to school during the week, so that they can ascertain for themselves at first hand what the situation is like in schools and take concrete actions to address the situation.

According to a dispatch issued yesterday, the activities this year will include planning meetings comprising six executive members of the chapter, sensitisation on radio and a march pass of selected school children with banners and placards with messages, from Guaranty Trust Bank, Churchill’s Town to Tallinding Proper Lower Basic School.

Reports also indicate that a rally on the ‘Access to and quality education without discrimination or exclusion’, will be convened at the said school grounds with speeches and information sharing, to be followed by drama sketches by school children.
