school has plummeted to an estimated 57 million worldwide in 2015,
the U.N. says, down from 100 million 15 years ago. Reuters
photographers have documented learning around the world, from well-
resourced schools to pupils crammed into corridors in the Philippines, on
boats in Brazil or in crowded classrooms in Burundi.
