What you need to know about education and why it matters

The world has seen remarkable progress in the global expansion of access to education in the 80 years since UNESCO was founded. In 1950, only around 47 per cent of the world's children aged 5−14 were enrolled in school. Today, that figure has nearly doubled, with 90 per cent of primary school-age children and 86 per cent of lower secondary school-age children in education.

Yet, despite the clear importance of education, it is at risk. UNESCO estimates that to achieve education for all by 2030, a child must enrol in school every two seconds from now on.

Education enables individuals to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to participate fully in society. Through teaching and learning, societies pass on essential knowledge, values and competencies across generations. Education builds foundational literacy and numeracy, strengthens social and emotional skills and equips people to make informed choices about their lives and their communities.

Education is one of the most powerful tools for lifting excluded children and adults out of poverty and is an enabler of other fundamental human rights. It is a cornerstone of peace, justice, and resilience in the face of today's most pressing global challenges. It forms the foundation of democratic society, and the right to education is protected under international law.

To achieve the right to education for all, education must be inclusive, equitable and free from discrimination. UNESCO works closely with Member States and partners to uphold these principles and strengthen education systems worldwide to make sure no learner is left behind.

Education is one of the best investments a society can make for its future. Learning drives growth, reduces poverty, and increases earning potential. In developing countries, every US$1 invested in education generates US$10-US$15 in economic growth.

With access to quality education, learners go on to contribute financially and socially to their communities and drive local innovation. Since 1980, improvements in access to education have reduced extreme poverty by 40 per cent

The price of inaction is huge. Without the necessary literacy and numeracy skills provided through quality education, learners have fewer opportunities and are less likely to thrive. School dropouts and education gaps will cost the global economy up to $10 trillion a year by 2030.

UNESCO calls for governments, financial institutions and the private sector to urgently step up their investment in education. Only four in 10 countries are meeting the 4 per cent of GDP benchmark for education spending, and international aid to education is projected to fall by 25% between 2023 and 2027. For low- and lower-middle-income countries, an estimated annual increase of $97 billion is needed to achieve the goal of quality education for all by 2030.

Investing in resilient education systems means investing in teachers. Without a well-trained, valued and supported teaching profession, there is no quality education.

UNESCO estimates that 44 million additional teachers need to be recruited by 2030 to achieve the goal of quality primary and secondary education for all. This means a global investment of $120 billion per year to cover the salaries of these new teachers.

Why one restaurant chef still cooks his grandma's recipes

On his culinary quest that has included two James Beard Awards and countless "best of" restaurant mentions, chef Gavin Kaysen has amassed an impressive list of mentors: Daniel Boulud, Thomas Keller, Paul Bocuse — and Grandma Dorothy.

"Dorothy, my father's mom, was my biggest influence growing up. A home cook in the truest form, she taught me how to cook," said Kaysen, who's based in Minneapolis. "She loved taking care of us, cooking for us and showing me how."

His parents both had demanding jobs, so Kaysen took on dinner duty to take one thing off their plates, tapping into what he learned from his grandma and bringing his family around the dinner table at the end of a long day.

One cold winter day decades ago, the future chef whipped up one of the first recipes his grandmother Dorothy Kaysen taught him. It was her signature Sunday recipe: chicken and dumplings.

"Everyone came in from outside to warm up together over this meal," he recalled. "I had already known that this meal felt like a hug in a bowl. But at that moment, it clicked that cooking can be the basis of connection."

To this day, "I can feel her energy every time I cook and eat that dish."

Kaysen didn't realize it at the time, but his grandmother was giving him a master class in key techniques that would serve him well in his culinary career. Chicken and dumplings displays how to make chicken stock, how to cut different shapes of vegetables, how to make a roux, and more, Kaysen said.

Sure, he can whip up dishes such as huckleberry sauce-drizzled dry-aged duck breast with black truffle and homemade spaghetti with octopus, mussels and prawns — and does at his restaurants Spoon and Stable and Demi in Minneapolis.

Still, Kaysen finds himself reliably returning to Grandma's dishes, both on his menus at home and at his hot spots, which also include Bellecour bistro in Edina, Minnesota, Mediterranean-inspired Mara inside the Four Seasons Hotel Minneapolis, and his Naples, Florida-based brasserie, The Merchant Room.

"There are a lot of similarities between how I cook in all areas of my life. At the end of the day, it's all about nurturing people. Whether that's in the kitchen in my house or at restaurants, that's the goal. The only difference would be my kids are very quick to tell me if they do not like something," Kaysen said, laughing.

Among the 100-plus recipes in his 2022 cookbook, "At Home," you'll find his grandmother's pot roast (which is currently on the Spoon and Stable menu), those beloved chicken and dumplings, and the family-friendly recipes Kaysen believes he might be known for one day.

"When my kids look back on their childhood, I think they'll say spatchcock chicken or paella was my signature dish. Both of these are included in the book, are in regular rotation in my house," Kaysen said, adding these dishes never get negative reviews from his crew.

As for chicken and dumplings, those in Minnesota can score a ready-to-bake, single-serving chicken pot pie at Bellecour that's essentially the same recipe, just stuffed inside a pastry crust instead of studded with dumplings. And anyone can try their hand at home with the recipe below, which Kaysen is happy to share.

"I think it's extremely important to chronicle and carry on family recipes. We are only as great as those who came before us, and I carry on my grandma's memory through her recipes," Kaysen said. "Everything I learn is on the shoulders of someone who came before me, and this is a way I can honor that."


https://edition.cnn.com/2026/03/15/health/chicken-dumplings-recipe-gav in-kaysen-wellness 
Near the conclusion of the article, the chef reflects on the importance of preserving recipes passed down through generations. Based on the text, identify the alternative that best summarizes this final idea.

Q4125824 Inglês

Word-formation processes in English involve mechanisms such as derivation and composition, which expand the lexicon of the language and allow for the creation of new terms from existing elements. Regarding word-formation processes, analyze the following statements.



I. Derivation by prefixation adds elements to the beginning of the base word, as in "un-" in "unhappy", generally altering meaning without modifying the grammatical class of the term.


II. Derivation by suffixation in English, when applied to terms such as "happiness" and "quickly", preserves the grammatical class of the original base word, promoting only semantic adjustments in the meaning of the term.


III. Composition combines autonomous words into new lexical units, as in "blackboard" and "toothbrush", joining terms that also circulate independently in the language.
