A report from UNESCO summarizes the recent global information on 263 million children not in school. This number represents 1/5 of the global population eligible to attend primary and secondary schools settings of any kind. In addition, there are more than 125 million young children who lack basic reading and writing skills. Furthermore, it is estimated that at least 60 million children are refugees and/or “on the run” from oppression and other traumatizing issues. Their chances for success in life are less likely than their educated peers and their risk of undesirable conditions is likely to be greater.
