Indian Children Demand End to Health, Education Apartheid
On the eve of Childrens Day, 80 children and representatives from schools and NGOs met to deliberate on this question in New Delhi. The group comprised of activists of the Nine Is Mine campaign - an initiative of children, schools, communities and organizations across 15 states of India to ensure that the government commits 9% of the GDP to public expenditure on Health & Education, as promised in the National Common Minimum Program.
Representatives of Holy Child School, St. Columbas School, Bluebells International, British School, Jaspal Kaur Public School, Carmel Convent -Faridabad, Alcon International School, Guru Harkishan Public School and Childline India Foundation were among those deliberating the nuances of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the provisions of the Union Budget in relation to their effort to popularize and implement their demand for 6% of the GDP to be committed to public expenditure on Education & 3% of the GDP to Health on this day.
