1 billion people in the world cannot read this sentence. This includes 1 in 4 children worldwide.
In sub-Saharan Africa, 88% of children, or 202 million are not meeting minimum proficiency in literacy. Moreover, 260 million children are not even in school. This is the cornerstone of a learning crisis that threatens all other learning and countries’ efforts to build human capital and grow their economies.
Education must be about much more than just going to school. It’s about the quality of the experience and the learning that takes place. And there is no better indicator of learning and a quality education than whether a student can read and write.
Literacy changes the narrative in nearly every aspect of life, including Health, Education, and Poverty.
