Campaign
for Culture and Peace
EI has contributed
to the International Peace for a Culture of Peace, 2000,
by producing a kit which provides details regarding
human rights issues, and peace initiatives from an education
perspective.
Quality
Public Education for All
Education
is the basis of survival, the means to an enhanced future.
It plays an essential role in eradicating problems like
poverty and child labour. EI aims to achieve quality
public education for all, by enabling the poorer section
to access schools. The idea is to enable the child to
prosper in an environment, which respects all cultures,
and prepares the young minds for societies undergoing
profound transformation at a political, cultural and
social level.
