FAQ’S
Globally, the UN estimates that 69 million new teachers are required to achieve universal primary and secondary education by 2030. Meanwhile, in 1 out of every 3 countries, less than three-quarters of teachers are trained to national standards.
There are not enough teachers to achieve universal primary or secondary education, and many of the teachers that are currently working are untrained. As a result, children aren’t receiving a proper education. There are 130 million children in school who are not learning basic skills like reading, writing and math.
Less than 20% of aid for education goes to low-income countries, according to Global Partnership for Education (GPE). But it costs an average of $1.25 a day per child in developing countries to provide 13 years of education.
If each developing country invested just 15 cents more per child, it could make all the difference. There is currently a $39 billion gap to providing quality education to all children by 2030. GPE encourages developing countries to contribute 20% of their national budget to education, and allocate 45% of it to primary education.
Children in poor countries face many barriers to accessing an education. Some are obvious — like not having a school to go to — while others are more subtle, like the teacher at the school not having had the training needed to help children learn effectively.
This is why the United Nations proclaimed Jan. 24 the first-ever International Day of Education, to celebrate how education can lead to peace and development. The UN believes it’s unacceptable for 262 million children and young people around the world to stay out of school, and it’s demanding governments and other partners step up to change it.
Increasing access to education can improve the overall health and longevity of a society, grow economies, and even combat climate change. Yet in many developing countries, children’s access to education can be limited by numerous factors.
Educated and healthy children will lead their communities out of poverty and build a better tomorrow.
If all students in low-income countries gained basic reading skills, 171 million people could be lifted out of poverty.

The path out of poverty begins with ME and YOU. Only with your help will children in poverty have access to life-skills. When you change one child's life, your impact is multiplied over future generations. Reducing poverty can reduce the amount of aid needed and the money can be used instead to fight challenges closer to home. Reducing poverty could also lead to less migration, as developing countries offer better futures.
