EDUCATION ACTION
IN 2024 ON OUR PLANET
CAN'T READ OR WRITE
Education is a fundamental right,
yet many people around the world are still deprived of it.
Unfortunately, there are still many barriers to education around the world:
– Poverty, forcing families to make their children work to survive rather than send them to school;
– Lack of schools or suitable infrastructure;
– Traditions that are still strongly entrenched in some communities, preventing girls from studying;
– School fees that are impossible to pay for families who have other priorities.
Education
a very powerful asset
Education is a powerful asset for encouraging the sustainable development of vulnerable populations, ensuring their economic growth and improving their health…
Supporting access to school for all children is essential to enable them to acquire the skills they will need throughout their lives:
– By learning to read and write, children have a better chance of learning a trade and getting out of poverty;
– Children are better informed about their rights, enabling them to defend themselves against violence;
– Education also improves health: attaining a certain level of knowledge enables people to take the necessary steps to improve their own health and that of their community by changing their lifestyles and living conditions.
Recognising that education is the foundation of all progress and that knowledge is the most priceless of gifts, U.T.O invests in the future by supporting the development of schools and educational activity centres.
