The document discusses the importance and benefits of education. It states that education provides opportunities for employment, respect among colleagues, and contributes to a country's development. Education prepares individuals for the workforce, teaches them social values, and readies young people for adulthood and leadership roles. Additionally, the document outlines several facts about education worldwide, including statistics on children not enrolled in or dropping out of school, particularly in developing nations. It emphasizes that improving access to education, especially for women and girls, can help reduce poverty, disease transmission, and increase health and decision making. The key to addressing childhood illiteracy is establishing schools globally, ensuring children attend, banning child labor, and providing free education.

2. What education offers
Education is the best investment for the people because well
educated people have more opportunities to get a job.
Educated individuals enjoy respect among their colleagues and
they can effectively contribute to the development of their
country and society by inventing new devices and discoveries.
The main purpose of education is to educate individuals within
society, to prepare and qualify them for work in economy as well
as to integrate people into society and teach them values and
morals of society.
Education in society prepares youngsters for adulthood so that
they may form the next generation of leaders as well as strong
families and strong communities.
5. 1. In2012, 31 million primary-school pupils worldwide dropped
out of school. An additional 32 million repeated a grade.
2. In the sub-Saharan, 11.07 million children leave school
before completing their primary education. In South and West
Asia, that number reaches 13.54 million.
3. While girls are less likely to begin school, boys are more
likely to repeat grades or drop out altogether.
4. According to UNESCO, 61 million primary school-age
children were not enrolled in school in 2010. Of these children,
47 percent were never expected to enter school, 26 percent
attended school but left, and the remaining 27 percent are
expected to attend school in the future
6. 5. Children living in a rural environment are two times more
likely to be out of school than urban children. Additionally,
children from the wealthiest 20 percent of the population are
four times more likely to be in school than the poorest 20
percent.
6. In developing, low-income countries, every additional year of
education can increase a person’s future income by an average
of 10 percent.
7. Children who are born to educated mothers are less likely to
be stunted or malnourished. Each additional year of maternal
education also reduces the child mortality rate by 2 percent.
7. 8. Women with a primary school education are 13 percent more
likely to know that condoms can reduce their risk of
contracting HIV/AIDS. An education can help decrease the
spreading of this virus by promoting safer sexual practices.
9. 53 percent of the world’s out-of-school children are girls and
two-thirds of the illiterate people in the world are women.
10. Education empowers women to make healthy decisions
about their lives. For example, women in Mali with a secondary
level education or higher have an average of 3 children, while
those with no education have an average of 7.
11. The youth literacy rates in South America and Europe are
among the highest with 90-100 percent literacy. The African
continent, however, has areas with less than 50 percent literacy
among children ages 18 and under.
10. Solutions for the childhood
illiteracy
Schools must be established all over the world,
both in developed and low-income countries.
Governments must ensure that all the children
attend at least primary and high school.
International organizations must ensure that
child labour is forbidden, so that children can be
educated rather than being exploited.
Local communities can help with charity , by
donating books , finding volunteer teachers or
supporting financially low-income families.
Finally everyone must claim for FREE
