#EducationBeatsPoverty
A life without education is a life half-lived. When people cannot read or write, when they do not have the skills and abilities that a good quality education offers, they are condemned to a life of poverty, ill health, and social exclusion. This disadvantage gets handed down through generations.
The children of illiterate parents are more vulnerable to a range of serious threats and problems that can scar their lives forever. And it is not only individuals who suffer - nations as a whole are affected: lack of quality education holds back economic growth and hampers democratic participation. Indeed the impacts are even felt beyond borders.
Research shows that education deprivation contributes to conflict and population growth - and thus to environmental pressure and climate change - issues of pressing concern to the global community #130childreninschool2023 #backintoclassrooms #SponsorOneToday
