There are at least 258 million children under the age of 17 who are not going to school—and only 49 percent completing secondary education.
In addition, about 770 million adults are illiterate, most of them women, Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed told the U.N. General Assembly on the International Day of Education.
... one reason why the situation is “so grave” today is that there are 75 million children in crisis-affected countries who are unable to go to school, have their education disrupted, and don’t attain any educational standards.
Yasmine Sherif, director of Education Can’t Wait which is the first global fund dedicated to education in emergencies, told a news conference at the U.N.: “Just think what will happen with this generation, and with all of us one day, if these 75 million children don’t access a proper, decent quality and continued education,” she said.
