Access to education is a basic human right. Unfortunately, for millions of children around the world, this isn鈥檛 the case. Two-thirds of children in low and middle-income countries leave primary school unable to read. For refugee children specifically, only half of them attend any primary school at all, and less than a quarter attend secondary school.
While there are a multitude of contributing reasons, poverty remains the biggest barrier. Political instability, conflict, violence, and even areas susceptible to natural disasters all have a major impact on a child鈥檚 access to education. And without quality education, children are less likely to have the resources to build sustainable livelihoods, further trapping them in the cycle of poverty.聽聽聽
