Wael is from Syria.
瓦伊爾來(lái)自敘利亞
He's firsthand experiencing the misery, fear and failure imposed on his country.
他正親身感受著他的國(guó)家所遭受的痛苦、恐懼和失敗。
He's a big believer in education.
他是教育的忠實(shí)信徒。
He knew that if he would find an opportunity for higher education,an opportunity to get ahead of the rest,he has a better chance to survive in a world turned upside down.
他知道，如果他能找到接受高等教育的機(jī)會(huì)，一個(gè)能超過(guò)別人的機(jī)會(huì)，他就更有可能在一個(gè)顛倒混亂的世界里生存下來(lái)。
The higher education system failed Patrick, Debbie and Wael,exactly as it is failing millions of potential students,millions that graduate high school,millions that are qualified for higher education,millions that want to study yet cannot access for various reasons.
高等教育體系辜負(fù)了帕特里克、黛比和瓦伊爾，正如它也辜負(fù)了數(shù)百萬(wàn)的潛在的學(xué)生，數(shù)百萬(wàn)的高中畢業(yè)生，數(shù)百萬(wàn)有資格接受高等教育的學(xué)生，數(shù)百萬(wàn)學(xué)生想要學(xué)習(xí)卻因?yàn)楦鞣N原因無(wú)法實(shí)現(xiàn)。
First, financial.
首先，經(jīng)濟(jì)上的原因。
Universities are expensive. We all know it.
大學(xué)是昂貴的，我們都知道這一點(diǎn)。
In large parts of the world,higher education is unattainable for an average citizen.
在世界上的很多地方，對(duì)于普通民眾來(lái)說(shuō)，高等教育無(wú)法企及
This is probably the biggest problem facing our society.
這個(gè)可能是我們社會(huì)所面臨的最大的問(wèn)題。
Higher education stopped being a right for all and became a privilege for the few.
高等教育不再是所有人的權(quán)力，而是成為一種少數(shù)人的特權(quán)。
Second, cultural.
第二，文化上的原因。
Students who are qualified for higher education,can afford, want to study, cannot because it is not decent,it is not a place for a woman.
合格的、能負(fù)擔(dān)得起的、想要學(xué)習(xí)的學(xué)生，卻無(wú)法得到高等教育，因?yàn)樗坏皿w，它不是女人可以去的地方。
This is the story of countless women in Africa, for example,prevented from higher education because of cultural barriers.
比如，在非洲，無(wú)數(shù)的女性，由于文化上的阻隔而無(wú)法得到高等教育。
And here comes the third reason:
第三條原因：
UNESCO stated that in 2025,100 million students will be deprived from higher education simply because there will not be enough seats to accommodate them, to meet the demand.
聯(lián)合國(guó)教科文組織聲明，到2025年，將有1億學(xué)生被剝奪高等教育的機(jī)會(huì)，僅僅是因?yàn)闆](méi)有那么多的座位來(lái)容納他們，來(lái)滿足需求。
They will take a placement test,they will pass it,but they still won't have access because there are no places available.
他們會(huì)參加程度測(cè)驗(yàn)，他們會(huì)通過(guò)測(cè)驗(yàn)，但是他們?nèi)詿o(wú)法得到教育，因?yàn)闆](méi)有足夠的位置。
