Charles Spurgeon, particular Baptist preacher, on the Jubilee release of debts. The debtors would experience joy, as well as the creditors!

Some would bristle at (monetary) debt relief— no lightness of heart for you! — insisting these passages are now only spiritual analogies for us. (But then they’d object even more strongly to announcing a blanket forgiveness of our spiritual debts).

How can you give lightness of heart (or soul!) today?

CHARLES HADDON SPURGEON (1834 - 1892) Freedom, asor "Oh, what a relief it must have been to the debtors! And when it was really done, what a comfort and lightness of heart it must have brought to the creditors, too, when they saw their poor brethren able to enjoy life, again, and no longer having their days darkened with the shadow of a heavy debt!"

I was surprised to see this ad-like piece on the @unesco SDG4 Global Education Cooperation Mechanism platform on private investment in private schools in low/low-middle-income countries.

'Affordability' is a contested and non-empirical term, and misaligned. Research shows severe equity concerns in these schools and learning outcomes are variable. These schools are also no longer 'overlooked'.

In Afghanistan, there have been 211 confirmed attacks on schools and hospitals, and an estimated 2.5 million girls and young women are denied access to education.

We need to do better. Much, much better. There is no excuse.

The 2023 United Nations Secretary-General Annual Report on Children and Armed Conflict estimates a staggering '112% increase in attacks on schools and hospitals, in particular in #Ukraine, #BurkinaFaso, #Israel and the State of #Palestine, #Myanmar, #Mali and #Afghanistan.'

This is against international humanitarian law.

On this #InternationalDayofEducation we must reckon with the state of the world for children denied, and schools and educational institutions targeted in conflict.

Globally, a quarter of a billion (224 million) children have had their education disrupted due to crisis, and 72 million children are out of school.

The horrific story of the private school teacher beating and ordering other students to beat a Muslim classmate is not isolated.

To be clear, corporal punishment and violence against children is outlawed.

Yet, there are many news and research reports (including my own) of discrimination and violence against children in schools on the basis of wealth, gender, caste, and religion.

I hope that this incident prompts real action.
