DESCRIPTION

The children in our book, "Journeys to school," are pioneers of courage and determination in their quest to get an education. Their journeys through deserts, the tundra, across water or unsafe neighbourhoods; on foot, horseback, on sled; aboard buses and boats, represent not only their daily routes to school but a transition to a more fulfilled life. Although globally access to education has improved in recent years, the world's poor and marginalized citizens are still excluded from education. Poverty, ethnicity, location, gender inequality, lack of public transport networks are some of the obstacles that stand in the way of children getting to school.
