EDUCATION IN AFRICA

All children have the right to education

By 2003, only 37 out of 155 developing countries had achieved universal primary school completion

133 million young people around the

world cannot read or write

An estimated 57 million are not in school

Illness and diseases like malaria, diarrhoea

and tuberculosis prevent children from being physically able to attend school

150 million drop out

of primary school

before they have

completed five years

of education- the

minimum required

for achieving basic

literacy

Girls usually have an even harder time with education than boys

2/3 of the world’s illiterate adults are women

About 1 in 10 school-aged girls in Africa drop

out once they reach puberty because they

don’t have clean or private washrooms to use

at school

When a woman has at least secondary

education, her children are twice more likely to survive than children born to less educated mothers

AIDS spread twice as quickly

among uneducated girls as

among educated girls who have

received even some schooling

Without education, you can’t get a good job.

Around the world today, more than 300,000

(World Bank) children are fighting as child

soldiers

In North America, they believe that all children- boy or

girl, rich or poor, white, black ,brown, yellow , red or

blue- have the rights to education
