Education cannot wait 03-05


#Education Cannot Wait because children in humanitarian 

emergencies and conflict areas have the RIGHT to 

education


 


Did you know…In Congo today, an estimated 7.6 million children go unschooled. The state offers limited informal educational opportunities for adolescents and teenagers, and virtually none for adults. According to statistics from 2010, 51% of adolescent girls are illiterate. The rate among the poorest households soars as high as 72%.
