Thank you, Matthew.

Hello everyone, Secretary of Genoa, Director Lake, panelists, Secretary Duncan.

I am so excited to see you all here today to discuss this important issue.

So thank you very much for coming.

Now, for those of you expecting hip shaking of any kind, it's not going to happen.

It's just me speaking this time.

Sorry.

We are here because each of us can make a significant difference.

And my hope is that your presence today is a pledge of your commitment and your passion to do everything,

everything that there is in our hands to ensure that every child gets the best start in life.

The first years of life are crucial, are crucial in the development of a human brain.

And the advances in neuroscience are revealing striking information, striking discoveries about how early experiences in the first five years

of life can have a huge impact on the developing brain of a child and repercussions that can last a whole lifetime.

For example, in the early years, there are 700 to 1,000 new neural connections being formed every second.

And to me, this information is astonishing.

I just delivered a baby seven months ago, so you can imagine.

This is the moment when we want to be doing things right for a baby, because as we get older,

the brain loses plasticity, and it becomes more difficult to change its architecture.

Because we have a very, very small window to affect change and to affect the child's life and his future.

We need to provide kids with proper care, nutrition, and stimulation in the first five years of their lives.

Because it is proven that children who benefit from ECD programs do better in school

and later in life as opposed to kids who don't count on that and are more likely to have severe learning disabilities,

lack attentiveness, and lack the ability to interact well with others.

And unfortunately, the disadvantage can be especially drastic when a child is exposed to violence due to war or conflict

because it affects the development of the brain and can cause aggressive behavior later in the adult.

and as a person who comes from a country marked by violence and civil and social strife, I've seen this firsthand because sadly in Colombia,

where I come from, like in many other countries in the developing world, if one is born poor, one is destined to die poor.

And this lack of social mobility is due in great part to education being perceived as a luxury

and not as a birthright.

And as a consequence, people don't have access to equal opportunities.

And this perpetuates the cycle of poverty and unrest.

The good news is that there is an exit strategy.

And that is the reason why we're here today.

And that's what keeps us here advocating for this cause.

In our schools in Colombia, the role of ECD is vital for the kids, especially in order to complete their education successfully.

And now I'd like to show you some images that will help illustrate my point.

We've worked over the years with my Barefoot Foundation

in vulnerable places around the world where many live with less than a dollar a day.

And here are some specific examples in Colombia.

This is a typical home in La Playa.

This is near my hometown, Barranquilla, where 9,000 kids were out of school when we first arrived.

And most of them lived in homes like this one,

shacks with tin roofs or cardboard ceilings and in very precarious conditions you can see it in the picture.

This is the outskirts of Cartagena,

an area plagued by gangs and thousands of displaced families without portable water,

electricity or even paved roads.

Many of our students had been victims of violence themselves or have lost family members.

So you can imagine the obstacles that we had to encounter, I'm sorry, that we encountered that we had to deal with

that ranged from behavior issues to problems of basic infrastructure to malnourishment, you name it.

In order to overcome many of these difficulties, we had to find creative solutions, of course.

So we came up with school feeding programs and parents

and teacher training and psychosocial support for the kids and community at large.

we were very very successful you can imagine um what it was like uh to deal with the many difficulties

and and the satisfaction after we saw um our projects being completed

and you can see it here in the picture this is the barranquilla school for 2 000 students um

and this is the cartagena school for 1800 students

and these are two of the six schools that we have built in Colombia.

We've been able to impact over 60,000 family,

sorry, people, 60,000 people, and virtually eliminate them on nutrition and child labor and local gangs disbanded from the area.

And we were able to commit the government to do their part by bringing electricity, portable water, and even paving roads.

So it has been incredibly, incredibly exciting.

And it has been, aside from that, a process of trial and error.

It hasn't been a path of roses because we had a hard time at some point, a really hard time keeping kids in school

because they never received adequate care and nutrition and stimulation in the first five years of their lives.

So that's when we realized that we were getting to these kids too late.

And it was then when I was introduced to research on ECD, and we made that a priority.

And believe me, that made all the difference in the world.

Kids who had access to ECD programs were more school-ready, could learn the information better.

And today, we have virtually no school dropouts.

So we started forging public and private alliances and expanded throughout Latin America,

building four centers in Mexico in partnership with the local government,

13 in Argentina, and 19 in Colombia.

Here are the pictures again.

You can see actually very pretty centers.

Very proud of them.

The success stories paint the picture much better than I can.

I'd like to talk to you about one of the girls who attends our school, Tania, who used to attend our schools.

Her name was Tania Araque, for example, who entered one of our schools in Soacha, Colombia, at the age of nine.

Yeah, she was nine years old.

And she had been previously expelled from school for serious conduct issues.

And Tania was able to rise above her situation and even become an example to many other students.

She started her own group and started to help other children to keep them out of trouble.

Now she's 19 and at the university, starting to one day become a child psychologist herself.

And this is one of many, many, many examples that I could give you of kids who have turned their lives around in our schools.

And that is the beauty of investing in education.

And that is what keeps me so passionate.

Because the change is real.

And it's immediate.

And it's tangible.

And even from day one, you start witnessing the impact on the children, their families, and entire communities.

So from my personal experience over nearly 20 years working in education, I promise you, I have had the time of my life.

I really have.

Apart from my musical career, of course, it's one of the most exciting things that I've done and it really is incredibly encouraging,

knowing that I haven't wasted my time or money because nobody likes that.

And really, every dollar invested has been proven to produce results.

The plan is to continue developing models for comprehensive ECD centers and programs in Latin America and here in the U.S.

And by the way, we could use partners like you.

So if you're interested in joining us, I'll buy you a coffee after the event and we can chat.

Colombian coffee.

100

This is not about charity.

101

It's about human investment.

102

It's about being proactive rather than reactive and preventing rather than looking at prescriptive solutions.

103

Economic studies demonstrate that for every dollar invested in a child's early education,

104

the same child returns from 10 to 17 dollars in his adult life to the state.

105

Just like my hips, numbers don't lie.

106

those who have done the math is Nobel Prize winning economist James Heckman, who says that ECD interventions lower the risk of disease,

107

increase the wages of children in their adult lives, and also produce benefits for society that are massive,

108

up to 10% a year either in savings or in revenue.

109

The simple truth is that ECD programs boost economic growth

110

and are one of the most effective ways to guarantee global stability and security.

111

I recently read a study by the Brookings Institution that caught my attention,

112

and it states that a national ECD program would add $2 trillion to America's annual GDP within a generation.

113

I'm no economist, but wow.

114

I can only imagine what we'd be looking at if we multiply

115

that number several times with ECD programs in the rest of the world.

116

It's no wonder that politicians and world leaders are all dedicating effort to this issue now.

117

Not to mention that for the first time in history, ECD is being included in the global UN agenda.

118

And also China, I mean, look at China, for instance, are making ECD a priority on their national agendas.

119

But ECD is one of those challenges that can be met only if society works together as a team.

120

A joint approach is needed.

121

And the private sector should pick up where governments live off.

122

It's the only way.

123

We need a new generation of philanthropists and entrepreneurs to make this issue their own.

124

And some of you know the importance of being ahead of the curve.

125

I am convinced that each one of you in this room can be tremendously influential.

126

And we can be the first society that eradicates poverty

127

and figures out an intelligent way to bring education to the most disenfranchised people on earth.

128

So the challenge for each and every one of us here is what are we going to do about it?

129

How do we scale it up?

130

Today we're dealing with issues like world hunger,

131

like climate change, crime, poverty, civil wars, and threats of violence,

132

and the tragedy of the refugees.

133

And the old-fashioned way of addressing issues, one by one, as if they aren't interrelated, as if they existed in a vacuum, simply will not work today.

134

We need a newer, fresher, smarter, and more holistic approach to solving the global issues that concern us all.

135

ECD initiatives to all has to be the cornerstone upon which we build and design strategies for the world's greatest problems.

136

That's what I believe.

137

So we need to keep, or we need to start at least applying the brains

138

and the strategies of business and use the assets of your companies to do social good and to solve our social problems.

139

That is financial capitalism.

140

I often wonder, for example, why there isn't a fund for early childhood development,

141

a global fund, much like the AIDS fund or like the tuberculosis and malaria fund.

142

Money in this fund could be used to encourage countries to agree on initiatives for ECD.

143

That's an idea.

144

But even before there is a fun of this kind, I want to urge you all to commit to being leaders in forming national ECD strategies in countries where you have influence.

145

Too often in the past,

146

the world has under-invested in strategies that involve significant upfront costs to generate long-run benefits that are many times larger.

147

And ECD is the test of whether the world can rise

148

above short-termism to do what is in our best interest in the long run.

149

Every year that passes, without us making significant investments in ECD,

150

millions and millions of kids will be born into the same cycle of poverty and lack of opportunity.

151

Today, there are still 59 million kids out of school.

152

We cannot afford this.

153

From an economic perspective, it is important, sure.

154

But now take that to a human level and the case becomes so much more stronger.

155

Because money isn't everything in the end.

156

But investing in humans and the future of our society is.

157

I strongly believe that the best is yet to come.

158

But we need to move faster.

159

Our children and our collective future depend on it.

160

Thank you very much.

FOR YOU

本節課學習內容

通過本節課，你將練習英語影子跟讀技巧，模仿影片中莎琪拉的演講節奏與語氣，同時理解早期教育（ECD）的重要性。你會學習如何清晰表達觀點，並用例項支撐論述，這對雅思口語練習也大有裨益。

核心詞彙與短語

neural connections：神經連線
social mobility：社會流動性
perpetuates the cycle of poverty：延續貧困迴圈
vulnerable places：貧困地區
exit strategy：解決辦法

影子跟讀練習技巧

影片中莎琪拉的演講語速適中，語氣真摯，非常適合影子跟讀。建議先完整聽一遍，感受整體節奏，再逐句跟讀。注意她在強調“700到1000個新神經連線”時的重音，以及講述哥倫比亞經歷時的情感起伏。

練習時可使用影子跟讀網站，重複播放關鍵段落，比如“生命最初五年至關重要”這部分，模仿她的停頓和語調。影子跟讀不僅能提升口語流暢度，還能幫助你在雅思口語練習中更自然地表達觀點。記住，影子跟讀的關鍵是“緊隨其後”，儘量縮小與原音的時間差，這樣才能有效訓練聽力和口語的同步反應。

此外，留意影片中列舉例項的表達方式，如“這是拉普拉亞的典型家庭”，學習如何用具體場景支撐論點。多做這樣的練習，你會發現自己的英語表達越來越生動，邏輯也更清晰。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	I've seen · We've worked · have lost
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	being formed · is proven · is exposed
定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物	children who benefit · kids who don · person who comes

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
