Search launches for 2016 global education Young Ambassadors

The search is on to find two students who will travel to Kenya to investigate the barriers to education faced by deaf children.

The Young Ambassadors scheme is part of the Global Campaign for Education’s Send My Friend to School initiative.

There are still 59 million children around the world who are not in education and the Global Campaign for Education is seeking to hold governments to account for the Millennium pledge to provide universal education.

The idea behind the Young Ambassadors initiative is to raise awareness and encourage young people in the UK to get involved in the campaign.

The Young Ambassadors for 2015 were George Watts and Emily Pemberton from Ysgol Gyfun Plasmawr in Cardiff, who visited Ghana earlier this year to investigate the challenges that girls face to education.
