Every day, Aditya Kumar cycles around 40 miles with a heavy load of books and his few possessions on the back of his battered old bike to bring education to India's slum children. The science graduate has dedicated his life to teaching in the slums of Lucknow, a sprawling city in northern India that is home to some of the country's most deprived communities. He takes no money for his lessons, which he gives all over the city, parking his bike up wherever he is needed and staging an impromptu outdoor lesson. +2 Aditya Kumar (L) teaches functional English and mathematics, with the aim of getting the children to a standard where they can start going to a regular school ©Nishant Saxena (AFP/File) "These children do not know what a classroom looks like.

The heartbreaking picture that shines a light on education plight of millions of children by Gordon Brown, United Nations Special Envoy for Global Education #upforschool education funding Picture:  Facebook/Joyce Torrefranca A young boy from the Philippines - pictured at a makeshift desk doing his homework in the street, under the lights of a McDonald's restaurant - encapsulates the great paradox of global education today: more young people than ever before realise the importance of the right to education but too few adults are making that right into a reality. Most of us have a home and yet find it difficult to persuade our children to do homework.  Daniel Cabrera, just nine years old, lives and studies on the streets of Manila because his home was burned down shortly after his father died suddenly.  Left homeless, he now lives with his widowed mother and brother in the same street food stall where she works. Sleeping rough, he needs the brig...

In three weeks, world leaders will gather in Oslo and will have an opportunity to publicly commit to the creation of a Global Humanitarian Fund and Platform for Education in Emergencies to guarantee that millions of children affected by war and natural disasters can have a safe place to play and continue learning.

But without public noise, some leaders may forget these children  - or delay it for so long it loses any meaning. Can you share the message that NOW is the time for decisive action on education in emergencies? It’s no surprise that when a crisis occurs, children are the most vulnerable.
