UN Special #3: Tariq Al Gurg Interview
Better Angels Podcast
Tariq Al Gurg, CEO of Dubai Cares, the global philanthropic organisation, talks to Sarah Brown about how we can improve access to education for millions of children in developing countries.
Tariq Al Gurg, CEO of Dubai Cares, talks to Sarah Brown about the importance in developing countries of providing parents with incentives to send their children to school.
He says that health and sanitation programs which ensure children are fed and kept clean in the classroom help to persuade parents of the benefits of sending their children to school.
Al Gurg said that instead of going to school girls in poorer countries are often made to stay at home to help with the domestic responsibilities while boys are sent to work to earn money for their families.
He also argued that without quality education some of the greatest problems facing humanity, like COVID-19, will never be resolved.
