1 Goal, Education For All
75 million children are still without the chance of going to school. These children could be the next generation's leaders, sport stars, doctors and teachers. But without an education they are confined to a life of poverty. Children out of school are more likely to be looking after their sick family members, working in manual labour, living on the street, living in war zones or in extreme poverty. They are often extremely vulnerable. Going to school helps a child change the course of their life and of their children's lives in the future. Education is the best tool we have for tackling poverty. When a child gets educated, they will eventually earn more and be better able to support their family. A child that goes to school will:
- Have children that will be 50% more likely to survive past the age of 5
- Be 50% less likely to be infected with HIV/AIDS
- Earn an extra 10% for every year of schooling they receive Education For All is urgently needed if we are to tackle poverty, ill health and hunger. An education can offer hope and a future to children in the developing world who desperately deserve a chance in life.
