![]() Įcología de Poblaciones: La Pesca de Respuestas ![]() Watch this short video to find out more about Tragedy of the Commons. We watched a great video about population that you can review here. ![]() Villagers starved and villages collapsed until some students realized that if they fished enough to survive, but not enough to deplete the fish resource, the game could continue indefinitely – or as we say in ecology – sustainably – for many generations. Inevitably, villagers who caught the maximum number of fish allowed each year ended up not leaving enough fish in the pond to reproduce to provide food for the next year. We also explored the Tragedy of the Commons in a game where students grouped together in villages that survived by fishing. Carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals that an area can support without exhausting or depleting the available resources. Students learned about two major concepts in population ecology – carrying capacity and the Tragedy of the Commons. Students correctly identified China (1.3 billion) and India (1.2 billion) as the most populous countries in the world. We began by discussing world population and how it has increased from 1 billion to 7 billion people in just over 200 years. The ministerial meeting provides an opportunity to build on the network’s experience and foster a common understanding of the implications of SDG 4 for national education legislation, policy, planning, financing, management, coordination and monitoring.Today, students learned all about populations. This calls for a resolute focus on equity, financing, learning achievement and harnessing technology for innovation and skills.” “If together they champion the cause of education, progress across the whole 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development will be achieved, and the entire world will benefit. “Together, the E-9 countries represent a formidable transformational force,” said UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova. It will require that systems are in place to tackle bottlenecks in funding and effectively assess education progress, especially in relation to learning achievement and equity. The ambitious agenda also aims to expand the equitable provision, both of early childhood care and education and post-basic education and training opportunities. The new global education agenda spells out commitments to ensure at least one year of pre-primary education and a full cycle of quality primary and secondary education for all by 2030. The Dhaka event, hosted by the Government of Bangladesh, will be the first E-9 Ministerial meeting since the adoption of the SDGs and the Education 2030 Framework of Action for the implementation of SDG4. UNESCO is the Secretariat for this Initiative and supports the coordination of the network, which has a rotating two-year chairmanship. Launched in 1993, the E-9 Initiative is a networking platform for these nine-high population countries to share experiences in educational policy, exchange best practices and monitor progress. Overcrowded classrooms, lack of trained teachers, and low school enrolment are among the obstacles these countries have been working to overcome since the network was established in 1993 to promote the Education for All goals, the previous set of internationally agreed objectives in this area. Given the size of their education systems and the scale of the challenges they face, progress in expanding equitable access to quality education in the E-9 countries is critical to the achievement of the global education goals and targets ( SDG4). In most E9 countries, girls are still more likely to be out of school than boys, and young women still account for the majority of the illiterate youth population. The E-9 countries - Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Nigeria and Pakistan – are home to over half of the world’s population, two-thirds of the world’s illiterate adults and nearly one-half of the world’s out-of-school children and youth. Ministers and senior representatives of nine of the most populated countries in the global South will gather in Dhaka, Bangladesh, from 5 to 7 February, 2017 to renew their cooperation, aligning it with the education targets and commitments of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations in late 2015.
