Basic education is a fundamental human right and knowledge is a precious commodity. There is nothing greater than knowledge shared between people, which builds bridges of understanding and mutual acceptance among different nations.
The human cost of failing to give all people the right to basic education is vast and incalculable.
Education is the cornerstone of sustained economic growth, sound governance and effective institutions.
Education is the best long-term solution to eradicate poverty in the developing world. Without increased and improved levels of education, poverty cannot be eliminated and development is not sustainable.
Of the 100 million children who do not attend school, 58 million – more than half – are girls.
One in four girls in developing nations does not complete primary school. Countries that fail to educate girls experience higher rates of HIV/AIDS, child and maternal deaths, and greater poverty and instability.
Eliminating gender disparity in schools is mandatory to achieve education for all. It also serves as an entry point for gender equality and women's empowerment, which in turn are necessary to achieve other Millennium Development Goals, such as reducing child mortality, improving maternal health and reducing poverty.
