The right for education Education is a fundamental human right and essential for
the exercise of all other human rights. Yet millions of children and adults remain deprived of educational opportunities, many as a result of poverty.
Education is the road that children follow to reach their full potential in life.
Why those children haven't a normal class?
The problemsAbout 61 million primary school-age children around the
world aren't in school. Poor kids often can't go to school because they need to work to help their families survive.
Girls represent more than half - 53% - of children who cannot go to school.
More than 70% of out-of-school children live in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
As many as 800 million adults in the world are illiterate. Women account for two-thirds of them.
The answersThe parents and caregivers must help their children learn
early on, so they are prepared to enter school.We must offer ways for parents and community
volunteers to get kids reading and doing math outside of school hours.
We must introduce children to the power of artistic expression — drawing, painting, music, drama, dance and more — to help them heal, learn and do better in school.
We must make sure that children don't stop learning during a crisis, and we help to keep kids healthy so they don't fall behind or drop out.
What can I do?First, in whatever way you can, keep learning. Go to
school, read books, learn a new craft, and talk to people who are different from you. Lifelong learning can enrich your life and the lives of others in your community, both socially and financially. Education helps you to strengthen your skills, learn your rights, and find your voice.
