Global+Challenges

=Global Challenges=

Especially in the developing world, millions of children and families face insurmountable obstacles in achieving a relevant and well-rounded education. Between the "digital divide", the discrepancies between the quality of urban and rural schools in developing countries, and discrimination in the schools themselves, there is a plethora of reasons a child may receive a poor education or even no education at all. Organizations like UNESCO are currently working to improve this situation through the Education for All initiative, and researchers around the globe are collecting anecdotal and statistical information on the roadblocks in the path to complete education.
