LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - At least 80 million children living in areas affected by war or natural disaster had their education disrupted last year, leaving them prey to child labor, trafficking and extremism, experts said on Thursday.
Many humanitarian aid appeals for 2015 ignored education, and aid appeals for education were only one-third funded. Overall, education received 1.4 percent of all humanitarian funds, British charity Theirworld said in a report.
"The new analysis ...(confirms) 2015 was a disastrous year for children who had their education disrupted by wars and natural disasters," said Susan Nicolai, head of development progress at the London-based think tank Overseas Development Institute.
"World leaders need to urgently guarantee that there isn't a future humanitarian emergency response where education isn't seen as critical," said Nicolai, whose institute's research produced the 80 million figure featured in the report.

Marchers on Sunday chanted "We're prepared to go to prison!" and other slogans as they neared the parliament building in Rabat, Morocco's capital.
Teacher trainees have been protesting the cuts around the country for the past few months, and the response from security forces during some demonstrations has been violent. Riot police were scattered along the route of Sunday's march.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) - The director of the federal agency that oversees education for American Indian children was demoted Wednesday after a federal watchdog found he used his influence to get jobs for a close relative and a woman with whom he had a romantic relationship.
Charles "Monty" Roessel abused his position as director of the U.S. Bureau of Indian Education to help the woman secure multiple positions and to get the relative a job on the Navajo Nation, the Interior Department's Office of Inspector General said in a report.
Roessel has led the bureau since late 2013. He didn't immediately respond to an email from The Associated Press seeking comment.
In removing Roessel as director, the Interior Department said it wanted to take immediate action given the gravity of the report.
Ann Marie Bledsoe Downes, a deputy assistant secretary under the Interior Department, will take over as the bureau's acting director.

The possibilities of fathering are limited less. Wherever there is a man taking care of a child that man should have the right to be a father if he wishes to be labeled as one.
One group of non-traditional dads who have made quite of lot of media attention is the homosexual couple, where two male partners claim fatherhood. Again one of these men may very well be the legal father that can easily be proven by a home paternity test, or a legal paternity DNA test, however in this new area of non-traditional parenting many gray areas arise.

BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Thousands of Hungarians protested on Saturday against education reforms implemented by Prime Minister Viktor Orban, which critics see as another attempt by the right-wing leader to boost his control over state institutions.
Teachers, whose demands include a sharp reduction in teaching hours and a free choice of textbooks, were joined in the rain outside parliament by other unionized workers including miners and civil servants.
Protesters say the reforms form part of a centralization drive by Orban over the past six years that has brought state media and other public institutions under his government's control.
Singing the national anthem, some protesters shouted "We won't let this happen." Others held banners saying "Don't chase our youth away."

Wadi Al-Mrimar, one of the organizers, said police followed his bus en route to the protest.
Next month will mark the 5th anniversary of when Moroccans took to the streets as part of the "Arab Spring" protests.

The company deregistered its common stock from the Nasdaq in 2014, and stopped reporting on its quarterly financials as a result. The same year, the company underwent a debt restructuring that converted lenders' loans to ownership stakes.
