Sochum

SOCHUM works to eliminate discrimination in many ways including in education.

Because of worldwide racism, xenophobia and other forms of discrimination, the UN needs to address the issue of discrimination by informing young generations around the world of the issues that all types of discrimination can bring, thus stopping future generations from continuing this negative behavior.

Having these television shows encourages kids to tune in everyday and learn something new

Encouraging the use of the use of the internet is also very helpful

These television shows could be harmful if a child were to become to addicted

One of the best things about the internet is that there is so much information if its for a little kid to play informational games on PBSkids or for someone to look up some information using wikipedia everyone with access to the internet and an electronic device can use it.

Also if you dont have an electronic device at home many libraries do have them and they are free to use

Offering rewards for learning such as scholarships or jobs for older children and perhaps toys for smaller children encourages children to want to be taught and attend school

Similar to promoting literacy teaching these skill may also encourage parents to send their children to school

Another thing being done is "embedding skill training" in education
