The Results of educated citizens are well documented:
By providing a safe and healthy learning environment, children have a place to sit, water to use, and food at noon so that they can focus on their studies instead of hunger pains.
Educated children carry information to the family about nutrition and disease, drastically reducing the number of farmers, teachers and parents that are wiped out every year from preventable disease.
Over a period of ten years, universal primary education could save 7 million young people from contracting AIDS. (Global Campaign for Education)
An extra year of primary school boosts girls’ eventual wages by 10 to 20 percent. An extra year of secondary school: 15 to 25 percent.
