Education for all will help end poverty
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.

Meet Sofia and Pedro
"I am Sofia from Tanzania. I am 13 years old and one of seven in my family. I would really like to go to school one day and be like the other girls in their school uniforms. I know if I go to school, one day I will be able to help my family, as I will get a good job that pays well.
I used to spend my days herding cattle and goats for my father but most of them died because of the drought. Right now my father is very sick and they have taken him to a distant hospital for treatment - I wish I could do something to help him.
These days, I help my mother selling fruits at market as well as doing my chores at home. And, when my mother gets sick, I have to go to the market alone as we need that money to buy food and other necessities."
The majority of those denied an education are female.

"This is me, Pedro. I live in a refugee camp called El Triunfo in Guatemala. I was born here. Until a few years ago people were fighting a very long, very bloody war in my country. At that time, life where my parents used to live was very dangerous and my parents had to leave their village and come here to the camp to find safety. They tell me that after they left the village, their house, the school and the whole village were destroyed.
Although the camp is not like a village, we are doing our best to make it a good place to live in. In the mornings, I help my mother to make the tortilla and then go with my father to look after the animals. The best thing is that in the afternoons I go to school. For a long time there was no school here, but now I go every day. This is very important to me because I want to be a doctor when I grow up, so that I can look after people where we live."
One year of schooling can increase a person's earnings by 10%.
