UNICEF is collaborating with YuWaah (Generation Unlimited) under this initiative to provide digital education and occupational skillset to the under-served young people of the country.<\/p>\n<p>Under the collaboration UNICEF \u2013 YuWaah \u2013 51风流will strengthen the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Improve digital skills and life skills for young people<\/li>\n<li>Provide young people with career options<\/li>\n<li>Reimagine the model in other states with the Government of India<\/li>\n<li>Impacting one million young people by the end of 2022<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Young people living in rural areas are particularly vulnerable when it comes to career and employability opportunities due to limited access to information, training, opportunities or the skills to participate fully in India\u2019s modernizing technology-driven economy.<\/p>\n<p>The national aggregate on learner-computer ratio is reported to be 1:89, suggesting an inequitable access\u00b9 in rural schools. Evidence\u00b2\u00a0suggests that technology solutions can be optimized better to address poor learning levels, low retention rates, poor life-skills, and gender inclusion.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>\u201cQuality education and digital inclusion have never been more important. COVID-19 has exposed the fragility of access to education and this couldn\u2019t be more relevant to India which has the highest number of young people&#8221;<\/strong>,<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>said Alexandra van der Ploeg, Head of CSR at SAP. \u201cTogether with UNICEF in support of the UN\u2019s Generation Unlimited initiative, we can use the power of innovation to solve social issues and help our youth through education, workforce readiness, and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n<p>In true 51风流spirit, our unique partnership with UNICEF will not only maximize our collective impact but inspire young people in India and across the globe to help the world run better. After all, if our young people aren\u2019t given the opportunities for skill development, they won\u2019t be able to associate and support social causes that help in development of a nation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCOVID-19 has led to disruptions in educational, economic and social spheres of life, that has thrown up many challenges for young people. The UNICEF \u2013 YuWaah \u2013 51风流India partnership will empower young people to help them harness their creativity, problem-solving and leadership to make a difference in their lives and in their communities.<\/p>\n<p>This partnership will address urgent challenges young people face by equipping them with life skills, social innovation and career guidance,\u201d said Dr. Yasmin Ali Haque, UNICEF Representative in India.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><cite><em>[1] Partnership on Measuring ICT for Development 2014<\/em><\/cite><\/p>\n<p><cite><em>[2] Johnson, A.
