Since UNICEF set up an office in 1975 in Viet Nam, it has run projects in various fields to provide the highest possible support for children in our country. The organisation particularly aims to create opportunities for all children in Viet Nam to attend school, learn and succeed. The following programmes help achieve the UNICEF's education aims for Viet Nam.

Education for Disadvantaged Young People

UNICEF helps disadvantaged teenagers continue their education by offering them job training and career advice. They are also taught essential skills for the job market.

Providing Education Opportunities for Children with Disabilities

This programme gives children with disabilities a chance to get access to and benefit from a quality education. It also helps promote equal participation in society and a culture in which people respect each other.

Improving Learning Achievements

This is WPC Sue Porter’s third year as a member of Avon and Somerset’s task force, a specialised ‘hit-squad’ providing support for her colleagues. Her job is physically and mentally taxing. From disarming a knife attacker to bringing round the victim of a car crash she is expected to perform as well as the boys.

Her 119 male colleagues in the squad would doubtless recognise that the words ‘task force’ are usually associated with males. To try to remedy that the unit was renamed ‘support team’ on January 1. Porter, 26, is one of three women working in it. ‘I’m not out to prove something because I’m a woman. I’m out to be me. They can’t expect any more from me and if they do they’re going to be disappointed: she says.

Porter is less than 5ft 5in tall and weighs about nine stone. In a fight she says her colleagues would probably feel better with a 6ft well-built man behind them. ‘If I know we are going where things are going to be difficult I offer to drive. The driver always stays with the van. But no-one else would ever ask me to drive, and often we don’t have time to prepare and it’s the ones in the back who get out and deal with it.’ Last year, ‘dealing with it’ included having building blocks and bricks thrown at them in several protests and riots.

Porter says the violence is there, no matter what sex you are. ‘Being a woman makes little difference. Sometimes people tell you that you shouldn’t be in this job, but that’s usually their way of explaining why they’ve hit you. But sometimes a couple of men will react better to a woman telling them to calm down: they see a big man as a good opportunity to fight.’

At the station Porter books in her struggling prisoner. He has no home address and is unemployed. He does not like being arrested by a woman and keeps swearing at her. ‘I’ll see you in court: he shouts as he is dragged to a cell.

Porter looks on without emotion. It is 3.30 am and there is still the paperwork to do. The team will reassemble at 7.30 pm to prepare for Arsenal fans coming in to a sleepy Yeovil for an FA cup match. It could be a busy night.

C. She had to stay with the van.                                           D. They were afraid someone would hurt her.

C. They sometimes throw things at the police.                      D. They never throw things at the police.

3.     Why did some people say she shouldn’t be on the hit-squad?

A. They wanted to explain how they felt.                               B. They thought that men usually reacted better.

C. They felt guilty.                                                               D. They were innocent.
