Description:
Reading, writing, and literacy in general are foundational to modern education. The global community in recent decades committed enormous resources to supporting children globally to access primary education.
These efforts worked to increase school enrollment: by 2015, 91% of the world’s children were enrolled in primary school. However, merely attending school does not guarantee an education. Approximately 250 million children cannot read regardless of school attendance, and 200 million young people finish their schooling without basic literacy skills.
