Great insight on how the Internet plays a crucial role in education - especially in times of conflict. If you can't bring a child to school, it can help bring the school to the child. " . . . the world is experiencing the highest levels of displacement ever recorded. UNHCR estimates that 24 people were forced to flee their homes each minute in 2015, four times more than a decade ago. Among the world’s refugees, 51 per cent are children, many of whom are travelling alone and have stopped going to school." Here's the blog. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/bringing-the-school-to-kids-the-importa… Please do share this important piece on your channels Lia Lia Kiessling Senior Manager, Campaigns The Internet Society Skype: liakiessling www.isoc.org _______________________________________________ To manage your ISOC subscriptions or unsubscribe, please log into the ISOC Member Portal: https://portal.isoc.org/ Then choose Interests & Subscriptions from the My Account menu. -- Barrack O.
