Why Education is so important?

  • It empowers children and adults alike to become active participants in the transformation of the society they live
  • It is a passport to human development
  • It opens doors and expand opportunities and freedoms
  • It fosters peace, democracy and economic growth as well as improving health and reducing poverty
  • It beats poverty: one extra year of schooling increases a person’s earnings by up to 10%
  • It reduces child mortality: a child born to a mother who can read is 50% more likely to survive past age five
  • It contributes to improved maternal health: women with higher levels of education are more likely to seek health care and support

Education helps take individuals and their whole families out of poverty
