Education is one of the most powerful propellors of development. It is also a key element for reducing global poverty and improving health, gender equality, peace and stability. Still, there are around 258 million children and youth out of school, which continues the cycle of poverty worldwide

How does education impact a child?

Failure to secure access to education for vulnerable children could lead to unintended consequences such as exposure to child labour or child marriage.

Why is education so important?

All children worldwide have the right to an education as it gives people the skills they need to help themselves out of poverty and into prosperity.

With education, people are far better able to prevent disease and use health services effectively. For example, infant mortality decreases by almost 10% for every additional year of schooling a mother receives.

Education also allows people to attain financial freedom is to secure higher wages and economic growth. In many developing countries, people with just one additional year of schooling earn 10% higher wages.
