Young campaigners for education win award

a special issue of The Guardian newspaper has helped to win this year, Steve Sinnott award for young activists

How about those few titles that no one would complain: "Malaria has ended," "stabilizing world population", "the slums of Mumbai last demolished" and even "All in the world now earns at least $ 5 per day. "These are the stories in a special issue of The Guardian newspaper, dated December 31, 2025 - created by Eilidih Naismith and Billy Davidson, the elementary school students Hutchesons, Glasgow

His vision of how the future might look like in 2025 if all children worldwide have received primary education in 2015 helped win the prize for young Steve Sinnott education activists worldwide of the year. We have identified universal primary education as the most important of the eight Millennium Development agreed by world leaders in 2000 - and spread the word buzz

"Education is the key to all the world's problems," said Billy, and he supported his shirt. The judges were unanimously convinced by Eilidih and Billy, both 15 years which showed that the subjects had been thoroughly investigated, and a demonstration of true passion for the cause.

Both students had also dreamed of creative ways to spread the message in the UK about the importance of the MDGs, including a contest in schools where the famous slogan of the company may have been kidnapped by the Send My Friend to School campaign:. "Because they deserve it" and that "every little bit helps"

"Eilidih and Billy were so passionate, innovative, enthusiastic and knowledgeable to make a presentation that was in a very strong field," said Mary Sinnott, one of the judges. "I think it will be great ambassadors."

In February, two students will travel to Malawi with ActionAid and the Global Campaign for Education to meet children who have no place in school, or who have difficulty attending. When they return home, will speak at the House of Commons and the teacher unions, and create movies and blogs, all part of his new job as youth ambassadors.

Runners were Tanisha Patel and Jasmine Sahota, Soar Valley College in Leicester, Alejandro Cotter and Bobo-Kalungu Banda, of Blessed George Napier School, Banbury, Beale and Hannah Copeland and Reece, King John School , Benfleet, Essex.
