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.
11 Facts About Education Around the World

 
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
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.
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.
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
EDUCATION!
