The Issue- And why it matters |
Issue Statistics |
Children all over have been lacking in education. In places such as Africa, for example, children are missing the opportunity to learn critical reading and writing skills necessary for their futures. Without educations, many kids end up growing up to take on unskilled jobs that give no breaks and have very low salaries. Many of these people encounter economic and physical struggles because of their lack of education. Just think, without a good educational foundation, they will most likely be able to read at a basic level.
Living a life without a solid education is challenging. Every child deserves to have the privilege of education as it will give them the chance to have a future. |
One in six adults on the planet cannot read or write. Some 600 million women and 300 million men - 99% of them in the developing countries - remain illiterate because they did not receive a quality education.
In the world, there are approximately 57 million children who do not even have a school that they can attend, and, in places like Somalia, only about 10% of all children are able to attend school. |
