It costs an average of $1.25 a day per child in developing countries to provide 13 years of education.
There is currently a $39 billion gap to providing quality education to all children by 2030.
Developing countries can’t rely solely on their own financing for education — there’s also a need for more foreign aid.
Only 20% of aid for education goes to low-income countries, according to the Global Partnership for Education (GPE).
A child cannot learn without the right environment.
Children in many countries in sub-Saharan Africa are often squeezed into overcrowded classrooms, classrooms that are falling apart, or are learning outside.
In Malawi, for example, there are an average of 130 children per classroom in first grade
In Chad, only 1 in 7 schools has potable water, and just 1 in 4 has a toilet
Outdated and worn-out textbooks are often shared by six or more students in many parts of the world.
In Tanzania, for example, only 3.5% of all sixth grade pupils had sole use of a reading textbook.
Workbooks, exercise sheets, readers, and other core materials to help students learn their lessons are in short supply.
In Cameroon, there are 11 primary school students for every reading textbook and 13 for every mathematics textbook in second grade.
Being denied access to school is common for the world’s 93 to 150 million children with disabilities.
In some of the world’s poorest countries, up to 95% of children with disabilities are out of school.
Students with disabilities have lower attendance rates and are more likely to be out of school or leave school before completing primary education.
A combination of discrimination, lack of training in inclusive teaching methods among teachers, and a lack of accessible schools leave this group uniquely vulnerable to being denied their right to education.
Over 130 million young women around the world are not currently enrolled in school.
One in 3 girls in the developing world marries before the age of 18, and usually leaves school if they do.
Girls often miss out due to belief that there’s less value in educating a girl than a boy.
They are sent to work, forced into marriage, or made to stay at home to look after siblings and work on household chores.
It is estimated that around 155 million children under the age of five are estimated to be stunted.
Stunted children are 19% less likely to be able to read by age eight.
Good nutrition can be crucial preparation for good learning.
