Education
Education changes lives
1 in 5 children worldwide are out of school.
In India, 32 million children up to the age of 13 have never attended school (National Sample Survey office, 2014). Children living in poverty, in crisis situations, in underdeveloped geographies, children with disabilities, and girls are the most disadvantaged.
Equitable quality education can help safeguard against violence, abuse, and exploitation, and even reduce vulnerability to natural disasters. A woman with an education has higher earning potential and healthier children, and the more education that a person gains, the more opportunities become available.
