LONGE DA EDUCAÇÃO

Para nossa vã reflexão:

Around the world, an estimated 855 million people, or one sixth of the world's population is illiterate. Millions of children never go to school. About 150 million, predominantly girls, are forced to drop out of school before they have achieved basic literacy and numeracy skills usually because their family is too poor to keep them in school. Education has been enshrined as a fundamental human right, essential for human dignity, but it is widely denied around the world. For many people, education remains a privilege rather than a right. The poor are excluded because they cannot pay. Yet without education, the poor will never escape poverty.
